FAQPage Schema
How do I configure an Android release build with keystore signing and ProGuard?▼

Android release build configuration is automated by orchestrating keystore generation, ProGuard/R8 minification setup, and signing config to produce CI/CD-ready APKs or AABs.

How do I set up Android app signing for both CI/CD pipelines and local development?▼

Android app signing supports dual-source configuration, allowing you to define separate credential sources for CI/CD environments and local development within your Gradle build files.

What's the best way to generate a production keystore for an Android Gradle project?▼

Production keystore generation is handled automatically during the release setup workflow, creating keystores and providing credential documentation for secure Android app signing.

How do I enable resource shrinking and minification with ProGuard or R8 for Android release builds?▼

ProGuard and R8 configuration applies safe default minification and resource shrinking rules directly to your Android release build type to reduce final APK or AAB size.

Does this Android release build setup work without any external dependencies?▼

The Android release build setup operates without external dependencies, running atomic configuration steps sequentially within your existing Android Gradle project environment.

How do I verify that my Android release build is properly signed and minified?▼

Verification commands are provided after each configuration stage, allowing you to confirm that keystore signing, ProGuard minification, and build output generation completed successfully.
