The app now has two product flavors. `github` is the sideloaded APK as
before, with the same package name and its in-app updater. `play` is a
bundle for Google Play as `org.bulwarkmail.mobile`, without the updater
or the installer permission, since Play forbids apps updating themselves.
- `release-android.yml` builds the Play bundle in a second job, checks
its signer, package name and permissions, and keeps it as an artifact.
With `PLAY_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_JSON` set it uploads it to internal testing.
- The Play flavor uses the new Firebase project; the GitHub flavor keeps
the old one until the app re-registers its token when it changes.
- Widget clicks and the device-sync account type follow the package name.
- Photos come from the system picker without asking for media access,
and the unused microphone permission from expo-camera is removed.
- A manual workflow run without a tag no longer replaces the APK of the
latest release.
CI:
- .github/workflows/release-android.yml builds APK on release publish
and via workflow_dispatch, attaches it to the release.
- android/app/build.gradle: optional release signingConfig driven by
Gradle properties (ANDROID_KEYSTORE_BASE64 secret etc.); falls back
to the debug keystore when no secrets are set.
- .gitignore: untrack /android so the runner can build directly;
ignore build outputs (build/, .cxx/), Metro/Expo dev logs, scratch.
Track android/ sources including BulwarkFcmPackage.kt and
google-services.json (Firebase Android keys are public per Google's
docs and intended to ship in the APK).
JS sync: push notifications + background task, vacation responder
(api + store), contact activity component, search utilities, settings
polish, calendar/contacts/email store and screen tweaks.
Tooling: scripts/poll-reload.mjs — Windows polling-watcher that hits
Metro /reload on file change (workaround for unreliable fs.watch
without Watchman).
