SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill eliminates the manual friction of building, signing, and sideloading Android APKs onto physical devices, ensuring developers can test their latest changes on hardware in minutes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Build-to-Install: Orchestrates the entire pipeline from git-pulling the latest code to building the APK and installing it via wireless ADB.
  • Environment Flexibility: Supports seamless switching between development, staging, and production build configurations using consumer-defined overrides.
  • Use Case: A developer working on a mobile feature can trigger a single command to build their current branch and push it to their tethered phone for immediate smoke testing without leaving their terminal.

Quick Start

Use the phone-install skill by providing the wireless ADB connect port to build and install the current repository on your tethered Android device.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate Android APK builds and wireless installation on a tethered device?

Automating Android APK builds and wireless installation requires orchestrating git-based source management with ADB-driven deployment workflows. This skill facilitates that end-to-end release-build pipeline, pulling your latest code branch, generating the APK, and sideloading it via wireless ADB to your tethered device for immediate hardware testing.

What is the process for sideloading an APK using wireless ADB?

Sideloading an APK using wireless ADB involves connecting to the tethered device via a specified port and executing an ADB-driven deployment workflow. This skill automates that exact process, pushing the newly built release APK directly to the physical Android hardware over a wireless connection.

Can I use this automated build pipeline for staging and production Android configurations?

Yes, you can use this automated build pipeline for staging and production Android configurations. It supports seamless switching between development, staging, and production build setups by applying consumer-defined overrides to the build recipe during the APK generation process.

Do I need a configured Android SDK environment to automate mobile release builds?

Yes, a configured Android SDK environment is required to automate mobile release builds. The skill depends on the local SDK to compile the source code and generate the signed APK before executing the ADB-driven wireless deployment workflow to your tethered device.

What is the best way to streamline Android development cycles for physical device testing?

The best way to streamline Android development cycles for physical device testing is to automate the build-to-install pipeline. This skill eliminates manual friction by orchestrating the git pull, APK build, and wireless ADB sideload, deploying your latest changes to hardware in minutes.
