gradle-play-publisher v2.7.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2020-02-22 // about 4 years ago
  • ๐Ÿš€ This release is focused on fixing long-standing bugs and minor feature requests.

    Note: GPP v2.7 requires at least Gradle 6.2 and the Android Gradle Plugin 3.6.0. While waiting for AGP to hit the stable channel, you may use v3.6.0-rc03.

    ๐Ÿ‘Œ Improvements

    • ๐Ÿ‘Œ Support for top-level graphics is now available. This means that you can put your app's icon (for example) in graphics/icon.png instead of graphics/icon/1.png.
    • ๐Ÿš€ If no local release notes are found, existing release notes from the Play Console will be carried over when publishing your APK or App Bundle.
    • You can now upload and/or install debuggable internal sharing artifacts.
    • ๐Ÿ— A warning is now logged if your playConfigs contain an unrecognized variant, product flavor, or build type.

    ๐Ÿ› Bug fixes

    • ๐Ÿ— CLI params now always override your build script configuration instead of failing if you had playConfigs.
    • ๐Ÿš€ CLI params on lifecycle tasks (such as promoteArtifact instead of promoteReleaseArtifact) now propage down to their respective implementation tasks correctly.
    • ๐Ÿ”ง The --artifact-dir CLI param is now correctly respected in eagerly configured Gradle projects.

    ๐Ÿ—„ Deprecations

    • ๐Ÿšš The --track CLI param on promotion tasks has been removed as it led to confusing bugs and unpredictable behavior. Use --promote-track instead.
