semantic-release-android-jcenter

semantic-release plugin to deploy an Android library to the JCenter Maven repository (well, technically we deploy to a Bintray Maven repository which can then get accepted into JCenter. See this faq to learn more).

Tip: If you're an Android developer and you are not sure where to start to get your Android library into JCenter, check out this project to help you out. If you use that guide, you can use this plugin with ease.

| Step | Description | |--------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | verifyConditions | Verify Gradle bintrayUpload task exists, make sure authenticated with Bintray. | | prepare | Update the gradle.properties version. | | publish | Run ./gradlew bintrayUpload to deploy to Bintray. |

Install

$ npm install semantic-release-android-jcenter -D

Requirements

Tip: If you followed this guide you have met all of the requirements.

The only requirements of this project is...

1. The gradle task bintrayUpload is installed.
2. You define the version of your code in the project's gradle.properties file like this:

version=1.0.0

Tip: You can reference this value in your build.gradle files with project.findProperty('version')

Usage

1. Make sure to install the Bintray gradle plugin and Android Maven plugin. This document does not cover how to do this as (1) there are multiple ways to do this and (2) it's better documented elsewhere. Check out this guide to help you out.

2. You need to be authenticated with Bintray. You can do this via environment variables or a gradle config file.

3. Setup each of your Android library modules in your Android Studio project to deploy to Bintray.

Configuration

Disable Bintray uploading for module

If there is a module that you do not want deployed, then make sure to disable Bintray uploading in the module's build.gradle file. Because you have the option to enable Bintray uploading for each module individually, this plugin is designed to run the Bintray upload Gradle task against all of your modules with the Bintray upload plugin installed.

Options

| Options | Description | Default | |--------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------| | checkAuthEnvVars | Whether to check if BINTRAY_USERNAME and BINTRAY_KEY set to authenticate with Bintray | true |

Examples

Here is an example on how to set options

{
  "plugins": [
    ["semantic-release-android-jcenter", {
      "checkAuthEnvVars": false
    }]
  ]
}
