Features

• It automates the Huawei AppGallery Connect Publishing API.
• It can upload and release Android APK/ABB packages.

Development

The plugin source code can be swiftly installed into any Android Gradle project with git clone:

git clone https://github.com/syslogic/agconnect-publishing-gradle-plugin.git ./buildSrc

Package Installation

Plugin io.syslogic.agconnect.publishing depends on com.android.application.

These plugins can be set up in the buildscript block of the root project's build.gradle:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
        maven { url 'https://developer.huawei.com/repo/' }
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:8.3.1'
        classpath 'com.huawei.agconnect:agcp:1.9.1.303'
        classpath 'io.syslogic:agconnect-publishing-gradle-plugin:1.3.4'
    }
}

Or in the version-catalog gradle/libs.versions.toml:

[versions]
agconnect_publishing_plugin = '1.3.4'

[plugins]
agconnect_publishing = { id = "io.syslogic.agconnect.publishing", version.ref = "agconnect_publishing_plugin" }

Then they can be applied in the module's build.gradle:

plugins {
    id 'com.android.application'
    id 'com.huawei.agconnect'
    // id 'io.syslogic.agconnect.publishing'
    alias(libs.plugins.agconnect.publishing)
}

Configuration

PublicationExtension can be configured with the following properties:

• configFile: The path to the API client credentials file is absolute.
• releaseType: Release Type, 1=network (default), 3=phased.
• verbose: Verbose logging, on/off.
• logHttp: HTTP logging, on/off.

/** Huawei AppGallery Connect: agc-apiclient.json */
def json_agc = "distribution${File.separator}agconnect_apiclient.json"
if (rootProject.file(json_agc).exists()) {
    agcPublishing {
        configFile = rootProject.file(json_agc).absolutePath
        releaseType = 1
        verbose = false
        logHttp = true
    }
}

These properties are all optional, while:

• providing the config file at the default location: distribution/agconnect_apiclient.json.

Plugin Tasks

Example Log Output

The log output for task :mobile:uploadReleaseAab explains what it does.
