Release Script Documentation

This directory contains scripts for building and releasing the MnnLlmChat Android application.

Files

• release.sh - Main release script for building and publishing the app
• bump_version.sh - Version bump helper for versionName and versionCode
• upload-cdn.mjs - Upload APK to CDN (ali-oss)
• upload-market-config.mjs - Upload model_market.json to OSS (data/mnn/apis/model_market.json)
• release.config.example - Example configuration file
• setup_release.sh - Setup script to help configure the release environment
• test_build.sh - Test script to verify build commands work correctly
• get_repo_info.py - Utility script for getting repository information

Quick Start

1. Setup the release environment:

   ./scripts/setup_release.sh
   

2. Bump app version:

   ./scripts/bump_version.sh 0.7.7 752
   

3. Edit the configuration:

   # Edit the configuration file with your actual values
   nano scripts/release.config
   

4. Test the build commands:

   ./scripts/test_build.sh
   

5. Run the release process:

   source scripts/release.config
   ./scripts/release.sh
   

Release Script Usage

The release.sh script automates building the standard flavor debug APK (for CDN) and the Google Play flavor release AAB (for Google Play Store).

Prerequisites

1. Java 11 or higher - Required for building Android projects
2. Gradle Wrapper - Should be present in the project root
3. Signing Configuration - Required for Google Play upload
4. CDN Configuration - Required for CDN uploads
5. Google Play Configuration - Required for Google Play uploads

Configuration

1. Copy the example configuration file:

   cp scripts/release.config.example scripts/release.config
   

2. Edit scripts/release.config with your actual values:

   • Signing Configuration: Path to keystore file and credentials
   • CDN Configuration: Aliyun OSS endpoint and credentials
   • Google Play Configuration: Service account JSON file path

3. Source the configuration file before running the script:

   source scripts/release.config
   

Running the Release Script

From the project root directory:

# Run the complete release process
./scripts/release.sh

What the Script Does

1. Requirements Check: Verifies Java version, Gradle wrapper, and configuration
2. Clean Build: Removes previous builds and creates output directories
3. Build Standard Debug: Builds the standard flavor debug APK for CDN distribution
4. Build Google Play Release: Builds the Google Play flavor release AAB for Google Play Store
5. Upload to CDN: Uploads the standard debug APK to Aliyun OSS CDN
6. Upload to Google Play: Uploads the Google Play release AAB to Google Play Store
7. Generate Release Notes: Creates release notes with build information

Output Structure

release_outputs/
├── cdn/
│   └── app-standard-debug.apk
├── googleplay/
│   └── app-googleplay-release.aab
└── release_notes.md

Environment Variables

The script uses the following environment variables (can be set in release.config):

Signing Configuration

• KEYSTORE_FILE - Path to keystore file
• KEYSTORE_PASSWORD - Keystore password
• KEY_ALIAS - Key alias
• KEY_PASSWORD - Key password

CDN Configuration (automatic upload via ali-oss SDK)

Set in ~/.zshrc or release.config. No bucket/region defaults in codebase.

• CDN_ENDPOINT - Aliyun OSS endpoint
• CDN_ACCESS_KEY - Aliyun OSS access key ID
• CDN_SECRET_KEY - Aliyun OSS access key secret
• CDN_BUCKET - OSS bucket name
• CDN_OSS_PREFIX - (optional) OSS path prefix, default data/mnn/apks

Upload path: {CDN_OSS_PREFIX}/mnn_chat_{version}.apk

CDN upload uses Node.js + ali-oss SDK (no ossutil required). Run npm install once in the project root to install dependencies.

Google Play Configuration

• GOOGLE_PLAY_SERVICE_ACCOUNT - Path to Google Play service account JSON file
• GOOGLE_PLAY_PACKAGE_NAME - Google Play package name

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Java Version Error: Ensure Java 11 or higher is installed and in PATH
2. Gradle Wrapper Missing: Run gradle wrapper to generate the wrapper
3. Signing Configuration Missing: Google Play AAB build still works locally; upload is skipped
4. CDN Upload Failed: Verify Aliyun OSS credentials and bucket permissions
5. Google Play Upload Failed: Verify service account permissions and package name

Manual Steps

If the script fails, you can run individual steps manually:

# Build standard debug
./gradlew assembleStandardDebug

# Build Google Play bundle
./gradlew bundleGoogleplayRelease

# Clean build
./gradlew clean

Security Notes

• Never commit release.config with actual credentials
• Use environment variables in CI/CD systems
• Keep keystore files secure and backed up
• Rotate access keys regularly

CI/CD Integration

For CI/CD integration, set the environment variables in your CI/CD system and run:

source scripts/release.config
./scripts/release.sh

The script will automatically detect missing configurations and skip those steps while continuing with available builds.
