What it does

Android Cicd is an agent skill from davila7/claude-code-templates. Automated Android CI/CD pipeline to Google Play — supports TWA, React Native, Flutter, and native Android. Run npx android-cicd to set up keystore generation, GitHub Secrets, and a multi-stage workflow (internal/alpha/beta/production) with auto-bump versionCode.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Mobile, covering CI/CD and Cross-platform mobile apps. It works with Android, Flutter, GitHub and React Native. The repository describes itself as: CLI tool for configuring and monitoring Claude Code. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve CI/CD
  • Tasks that involve Cross-platform mobile apps

Example prompts

  • “/android-cicd”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Create the service account
  2. Enable the Play API
  3. Invite the service account in Play Console
  4. First manual upload

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 14680ec. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git
    • npx
    • gh
    • java

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • cli.github.com
    • play.google.com
    • console.cloud.google.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • KEYSTORE_PASSWORD
    • KEY_PASSWORD

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Android Cicd loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 833 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~69
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Skill: android-cicd

Purpose

Set up a complete, multi-stage Android CI/CD pipeline that automatically builds and publishes to Google Play via GitHub Actions. Supports TWA (Trusted Web Activity / Bubblewrap), React Native, Flutter, and native Android (Gradle) projects.

When to Use

  • The project has an Android app tracked in a GitHub repository
  • No CI/CD pipeline exists yet for the Android build
  • Goal: automate publishing to Google Play on every push to main and on version tags
  • User wants to avoid manual versionCode bumping

Quick Start

Run the interactive setup wizard from the root of the target project:

sh
npx android-cicd

The wizard handles: framework detection → keystore generation → GitHub Secrets → workflow scaffold.

Prerequisites

Before running the wizard, ensure:

  • Node.js ≥ 18
  • JDK 17 installed with keytool accessible (JAVA_HOME set, or installed via Eclipse Adoptium / Android Studio)
  • gh CLI installed and authenticated (gh auth login)
  • App already created in Google Play Console — at least one manual AAB/APK upload done (required before the API can publish)
  • App enrolled in Play App Signing (Google manages the signing key; you manage the upload key)
  • Google Play Android Developer API enabled in Google Cloud Console
  • Service account JSON key downloaded (see Manual Steps below)

Framework Detection

The wizard auto-detects the framework from the project directory structure:

ConditionDetected framework
pubspec.yaml contains flutter:flutter
android/app/build.gradle exists + package.json has react-native depreact-native
android-root-app/build.gradle or twa-manifest.json or .bubblewrap/config.json existstwa
app/build.gradle existsnative
android/app/build.gradle exists (fallback)native

The user can override the detected framework during the wizard.

Multi-Stage Pipeline

The scaffolded workflow publishes to different tracks based on the git ref:

Git eventGoogle Play track
Push to maininternal
Tag matching v*-alpha (e.g. v1.2-alpha)alpha
Tag matching v*-beta (e.g. v1.2-beta)beta
Tag matching v* (e.g. v1.2.0)production
Manual workflow_dispatchUser-selectable (internal / alpha / beta / production)

To release to production:

sh
git tag v1.2.0
git push origin v1.2.0

Auto-Bump versionCode

On every push to main, CI automatically:

  1. Reads the current versionCode from the version file for the detected framework
  2. Increments it by 1
  3. Commits the change with [skip ci] (prevents re-triggering the workflow)
  4. Pushes the commit back to main

Version file by framework:

FrameworkVersion fileField
TWAandroid-root-app/build.gradleversionCode
React Nativeandroid/app/build.gradleversionCode
Flutterpubspec.yamlversion: x.y.z+N (the +N build number)
Nativeapp/build.gradleversionCode

For tag-based builds (alpha / beta / production), auto-bump does not run — the tag represents a pinned commit. Increment the version manually before tagging.

Required GitHub Secrets

The wizard sets these automatically via gh secret set:

SecretDescription
KEYSTORE_FILEBase64-encoded upload keystore (.jks)
KEYSTORE_PASSWORDKeystore password
KEY_ALIASKey alias (e.g. upload)
KEY_PASSWORDKey password (usually same as KEYSTORE_PASSWORD)
GOOGLE_PLAY_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_JSONFull JSON content of the service account key

Signing Configuration

TWA / Native Android

Add to your build.gradle (see templates/gradle/signing.gradle):

groovy
android {
    signingConfigs {
        release {
            storeFile file("keystore.jks")
            storePassword System.getenv("KEYSTORE_PASSWORD")
            keyAlias System.getenv("KEY_ALIAS")
            keyPassword System.getenv("KEY_PASSWORD")
        }
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled true
            signingConfig signingConfigs.release
        }
    }
}

Never set org.gradle.java.home in gradle.properties — it breaks Linux CI runners.

Flutter

The CI workflow creates android/key.properties at build time (from secrets) and cleans it up after. Your android/app/build.gradle should read from it:

groovy
def keystoreProperties = new Properties()
def keystorePropertiesFile = rootProject.file('key.properties')
if (keystorePropertiesFile.exists()) {
    keystoreProperties.load(new FileInputStream(keystorePropertiesFile))
}

android {
    signingConfigs {
        release {
            keyAlias keystoreProperties['keyAlias']
            keyPassword keystoreProperties['keyPassword']
            storeFile keystoreProperties['storeFile'] ? file(keystoreProperties['storeFile']) : null
            storePassword keystoreProperties['storePassword']
        }
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            signingConfig signingConfigs.release
        }
    }
}

Manual Steps (Cannot Be Automated)

1. Create the service account
  1. Google Cloud Console → your project → IAM & Admin → Service Accounts
  2. Create service account → name: github-play-publisher → Done (no roles needed)
  3. Click the service account → Keys tab → Add key → Create new key → JSON → download
Show full SKILL.md (328 more words)Show less
2. Enable the Play API

Google Cloud Console → APIs & Services → search Google Play Android Developer API → Enable

3. Invite the service account in Play Console
  1. Play Console → Users and permissions → Invite new user
  2. Email: github-play-publisher@YOUR-PROJECT.iam.gserviceaccount.com
  3. Account-level permissions:
    • ✅ Release apps to testing tracks
    • ✅ Manage testing tracks and edit testers
  4. Apply
4. First manual upload

Google Play requires at least one manually uploaded AAB before the API can publish. If this is a brand-new app, upload the first build from your local machine before running the CI pipeline.

Troubleshooting

ErrorCauseFix
Java home supplied is invalidorg.gradle.java.home hardcoded in gradle.propertiesRemove that line
signed with the wrong keyKeystore in secret doesn't match Play's registered upload keyUpdate KEYSTORE_FILE secret
The caller does not have permissionService account missing permissions or API not enabledRe-check Manual Steps 2 and 3
Upload failed — wrong versionCodeversionCode not incremented (tag-based build)Increment versionCode manually before tagging
shallow update not allowedShallow git checkout when pushing version bumpWorkflow uses fetch-depth: 0 — verify the checkout step
Workflow not triggering on tagTag not pushed to remoteRun git push origin TAG_NAME
gh: command not foundgh CLI not installedInstall from https://cli.github.com
keytool not foundJDK not installed or not on PATHSet JAVA_HOME or install JDK 17

Recovering a Lost Upload Keystore

If the app uses Play App Signing (recommended):

  1. Generate a new keystore: npx android-cicd and choose "I already have a keystore: No"
  2. Export the PEM certificate:
    sh
    keytool -export -rfc -keystore upload.jks -alias ALIAS -storepass PASSWORD -file cert.pem
  3. Play Console → app → App integrity → App signing → Request upload key reset
  4. Select "I forgot my password" → upload cert.pem
  5. Wait 1–2 business days for Google approval
  6. Update the KEYSTORE_FILE secret with the new keystore base64

Manually Bumping the Version (Tag Releases)

Before pushing a tag for alpha / beta / production:

TWA / Native / React Native — edit build.gradle:

groovy
versionCode 8   // increment
versionName "1.2.0"

Flutter — edit pubspec.yaml:

yaml
version: 1.2.0+8

Then tag and push:

sh
git add .
git commit -m "chore: bump version to 1.2.0"
git tag v1.2.0
git push origin main --tags
