Release

Beta

The beta version of the app will automatically build on new commits to the main branch. Beta builds are available via Firebase App Distribution.

Play Store

Play Store releases are handled by the GitHub Action called "Deploy Production."

To create a new release, first add a changelog for the next version by running the following command

make changelog

Which will produce the following output

$ make changelog
Added changelog for next build (1009)
./fastlane/metadata/android/en-US/changelogs/1009.txt

Edit the file with a description of the important changes made since the last release. On commit, add the [skip ci] GitHub tag to the commit message to avoid rebuilding a beta version of the app that has not changed.
