Installing from CI

Installing APK build by the CI is possible

Installing from GitHub

TODO Import the script from Element Android and make it work, then update this documentation.

To install an APK built by a GitHub action, run the script ./tools/install/installFromGitHub.sh. You will need to pass a GitHub token to do so.

Create a GitHub token

You can create a GitHub token going to your Github account, at this page: https://github.com/settings/tokens.

You need to create a token (classic) with the scope repo/public_repo. So just check the corresponding checkbox. Validity can be long since the scope of this token is limited. You will still be able to delete the token and generate a new one. Click on Generate token and save the token locally.

Provide artifact URL

The script will ask for an artifact URL. You can get this artifact URL by following these steps:

  • open the pull request
  • in the check at the bottom, click on APK Build / Build debug APKs
  • click on Summary
  • scroll to the bottom of the page
  • copy the link vector-Fdroid-debug if you want the F-Droid variant or vector-Gplay-debug if you want the Gplay variant.

The copied link can be provided to the script.

Next steps

The script will download the artifact, unzip it and install the correct version (regarding arch) on your device.

Files will be added to the folder ./tmp/DebugApks. Feel free to cleanup this folder from time to time, the script will not delete files.

Future improvement

The script could ask the user for a Pull Request number and Gplay/Fdroid choice like it was done with Buildkite script. Using GitHub API may be possible to do that.
