gradle-play-publisher v2.4.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2019-09-08 // over 4 years ago

  • 🚀 This release transitions GPP into a new publishing model. Previously, every task would create an edit against the Play Store and then commit that edit at the end of the task. In the new model, one build == one commit per app package, meaning one edit will be used across tasks for the same app package. This makes each publishing build an atomic operation: if anything fails, everything is reset and put back into a clean state. See #629 for full details.

    Note: Gradle 5.6.1 and AGP 3.5.0 are the new minimum dependency versions.

    Artifact retention

    🚀 GPP v2.4 supports retaining the main and patch OBB files. GPP can also retain releases if, for example, you want to retain your WearOS artifact. See the docs for more details.
