# Visual Studio Team Services Extension for Google Play 

[![Build status](https://dev.azure.com/mseng/AzureDevOps/_apis/build/status/CrossPlatform.google-play-vsts-extension.GitHub.CI)](https://dev.azure.com/mseng/AzureDevOps/_build/latest?definitionId=5350)

This extension contains a set of deployment tasks which allow you to automate the release, promotion and rollout of app updates to the Google Play store from your CI environment. This can reduce the effort needed to keep your internal test, alpha, beta, rollout and production deployments up-to-date, since you can simply push changes to the configured source control branches, and let your automated build take care of the rest.

## Prerequisites

This extension supports Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) and Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2017 and later.

In order to automate the release of app updates to the Google Play store, you need to have manually released at least one version through the [Google Play Developer Console](https://play.google.com/apps/publish/). Additionally, you need to create a service account that is authorized to manage your app(s) releases on your behalf and can be used to authenticate "headlessly" from your VSTS build/release definitions. If you haven't already done so, then perform the following steps to create a service account:
> For a more in depth guide [click this link](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/appcenter/distribution/stores/googleplay).

1. Login to the [Google Play Developer Console](https://play.google.com/apps/publish/) and select **Setup** in the left-hand navigation menu (the gear icon)

2. Select the **API access** setting and click the **Create Service Account** button underneath the **Service Accounts** section

3. Follow the provided **Google Developers Console** hyperlink

4. Click the **Create credentials** button in the displayed modal dialog, and select **Service account key** (with the role "Owner")

5. Select **JSON** as the **Key type** and click the **Create** button

6. Save the provided JSON file somewhere safe and memorable. You'll be using it later.

7. Back in the **Google Play Developer Console**, click the **Done** button to close the modal

8. Click the **Grant access** button in the row associated with the service account you just created.

9. Ensure that the **Role** is set to **Release Manager** and then click the **Add user** button

To take advantage of the metadata updating capabilities, files need to be organized using fastlane’s [supply tool](https://github.com/fastlane/fastlane/tree/master/supply#readme) format:

1. Install the supply tool
```
sudo gem install supply
```
2. Navigate to your root folder 
```
cd [your_project_folder]
```
3. Download metadata for an existing app to the  project folder
```
supply init
```

## Quick Start

Once you have created or retrieved credentials for you Google Play service account, then perform the following steps to automate releasing updates from a VSTS build or release definition:

1. Install the Google Play extension from the [VSTS Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items/ms-vsclient.google-play)

2. Go to your Visual Studio Team Services or TFS project, click on the **Build** tab, and create a new build definition (the "+" icon) that is hooked up to your project's appropriate source repo

3. Click **Add build step...** and select the neccessary tasks to generate your release assets (e.g. **Gulp**, **Cordova Build**)

4. Click **Add build step...** and select **Google Play - Release** from the **Deploy** category

5. Configure the **Google Play - Release** task with the JSON private key file created above, the generated APK file, and the desired release track.

6. Click the **Queue Build** button or push a change to your configured repo in order to run the newly defined build pipeline

7. Your app changes will now be automatically published to the Google Play store!

## Configuring Your Google Play Publisher Credentials

In addition to specifying your publisher credentials file directly within each build task, you can also configure your credentials globally and refer to them within each build or release definition as needed. To do this, perform the following steps:

1. Setup a publishing manager (https://play.google.com/apps/publish/) and get the JSON key file from the [Google Developer API console](https://console.developers.google.com/apis)

2. Go into your Visual Studio Team Services or TFS project and click on the gear icon in the lower left corner

3. Click on the **Service Connections** tab

4. Click on **New service connection** and select **Google Play**

5. Give the new endpoint a name and enter the credentials for the publishing manager you generated in step#1. The credentials you need can be found in the JSON file and are the Email and the private key.

6. Select this endpoint via the name you chose in #5 whenever you add either the **Google Play - Release** or **Google Play - Promote** tasks to a build or release definition

## Task Reference

In addition to the custom service endpoint, this extension also contributes the following three build and release tasks:

* [Google Play - Release](#google-play---release) - Allows automating the release of a new Android app version to the Google Play store.

* [Google Play - Promote](#google-play---promote) - Allows automating the promotion of a previously released Android app update from one track to another (e.g. `alpha` -> `beta`).

* [Google Play - Increase Rollout](#google-play---increase-rollout) - Allows automating increasing the rollout percentage of a previous release app update.

* [Google Play - Release Bundle](#google-play---release-bundle) - Allows automating the release of a new Android bundle to the Google Play store.

* [Google Play - Status Update](#google-play---status-update) - Allows you to update the status of an app that was previously released to the selected track.

### Google Play Release

Allows you to release an update to your app on Google Play: release app bundle or apk, attach obb or mapping file, update metadata.
Includes the following options:

1. **JSON Key Path** *(File path)* or **Service Endpoint** - The credentials used to authenticate with Google Play. This can be acquired from the [Google Developer API console](https://console.developers.google.com/apis) and provided either directly to the task (via the `JSON Auth File` authentication method),

    or configured within a service endpoint that you reference from the task (via the `Service Endpoint` authentication method). 

    ![Service Endpoint](images/auth-with-endpoint.png)

    Note that in order to use the JSON Auth File method, the JSON file you get from the developer console needs to be checked into your source repo.
    Please also note that from the point of security it's preferrable to store it as [Secure file](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/devops/pipelines/library/secure-files) and download using [Download Secure File task](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/devops/pipelines/tasks/utility/download-secure-file).
