🏁 Getting Started

Getting started with apkup is pretty easy and straight forward.

Install the apkup package globally or locally:

``bash
npm i -g apkup
apkup --help

or if you just want to use the CLI locally

npx apkup --help

or install the library into your project

npm i -D apkup
`

$3

Then use the CLI:

`bash
apkup \
--key api.json \
--apk /path/to/Package.apk \
--deobfuscation /path/to/mapping.txt \ # optional
--release-notes "en-US=lorem ipsum dolor" \
--obbs /path/to/Expansion.obb \ # optional
--obbs /path/to/Expansion2.obb # optional
`

You can also specify each parameter via environment variables prefixed with APKUP_ (e.g. APKUP_KEY or APKUP_APK).

$3

Or use the JavaScript library!

`javascript
// typescript / modulejs
import { Apkup } = from 'apkup';
// or commonjs
const { Apkup } = require('apkup');

const apkup = new Apkup({
client_email: '',
private_key: ''
});

apkup
.upload('/path/to/apk', {
obbs: [
// optional expansion files (max 2)
'/path/to/somefile.obb'
],
releaseNotes: [
{
language: 'en-US',
text: 'Minor bug fixes...'
}
]
})
.then(data => {
console.log( > ${data.packageName} version ${data.versionCode} is up!);
});

``

🔒 Authentication

First you have to create a Google Play API Access. To do that go to the
Google Play Developer Console and then
with the account owner go to Settings -> API access and create a Google Play
Android Developer project.

After that follow the instructions to create a Service Account.
When you click Create Client ID, choose Service Account. You will get a JSON file
with a public key and the service email.

The created Service Account needs the following role:

- Release manager
