RNEF Android GitHub Action

This GitHub Action enables remote building of Android applications using RNEF (React Native Enterprise Framework). It supports both debug and release builds, with automatic artifact caching and code signing capabilities.

Features

• Build Android apps in debug or release mode
• Automatic artifact caching to speed up builds
• Code signing support for release builds
• Re-signing capability for PR builds
• Native fingerprint-based caching
• Configurable build parameters
• Gradle wrapper validation

Usage

name: Android Build
on:
  push:
    branches: [main]
  pull_request:
    branches: ['**']

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:

          github-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          # For release builds, add these:
          # sign: true
          # keystore-base64: ${{ secrets.KEYSTORE_BASE64 }}
          # keystore-store-file: 'your-keystore.jks'
          # keystore-store-password: ${{ secrets.KEYSTORE_STORE_PASSWORD }}
          # keystore-key-alias: 'your-key-alias'
