App names
| Variant | App name | Update URL |
|---|---|---|
| Release (phone) | purefin-app |
https://apks.t.bbara.hu/apps/purefin-app/update.json |
| Debug (phone) | purefin-app-debug |
https://apks.t.bbara.hu/apps/purefin-app-debug/update.json |
| Release (TV) | purefin-tv |
https://apks.t.bbara.hu/apps/purefin-tv/update.json |
Building
# Phone
./gradlew :app:assembleDebug # debug APK
./gradlew :app:assembleRelease # release APK (unsigned)
# Android TV
./gradlew :app-tv:assembleDebug # debug APK
./gradlew :app-tv:assembleRelease # release APK (unsigned)
APK outputs go to app/build/outputs/apk/<variant>/ and app-tv/build/outputs/apk/<variant>/.
Uploading
Upload via the API at POST /api/apps/{app_name}/upload:
curl -X POST "https://apks.t.bbara.hu/api/apps/purefin-app-debug/upload" \
-F "apk_file=@app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk" \
-F "version_code=$(grep purefinDebugVersionCode gradle.properties | cut -d= -f2)" \
-F "version_name=0.1-debug"
The version_code is defined in gradle.properties (purefinReleaseVersionCode for phone release, purefinDebugVersionCode for phone debug, purefinTvVersionCode for TV). The version_name is 0.1 for release or 0.1-debug for debug. Both fields are required — the server cannot auto-extract them from the APK.
