Scripts to publish Firefox for Android on Google Play Store.

Setup and run

1. ⚠️ You need Python >= 3.5 to run this set of scripts. Python 2 isn't supported starting version 0.5.0
2. Create a virtualenv and source it

virtualenv -p python3 venv
source venv/bin/activate

1. pip install -r requirements.txt
2. python setup.py develop
3. Execute either mozapkpublisher/get_apk.py, or mozapkpublisher/push_apk.py, or mozapkpublisher/update_apk_description.py
4. Run --help to each of these script to know how to call them.

Setup in Mac OSX

1. Install Xcode command line tools xcode-select --install
2. Create a virtualenv and source it
3. pip install -r requirements.txt
4. Some errors might happen during python setup.py develop
   1. fatal error: 'openssl/opensslv.h' file not found
      1. Temporarily adjust permissions on /usr/local so brew can update:
         • sudo chgrp -R admin /usr/local
         • sudo chmod -R g+w /usr/local
      2. Install the updated version of OpenSSL (you probably use 1.0.2j):
         • brew install openssl
      3. You may want/need to delete an existing symlink to openssl from /usr/local/bin:
         • rm /usr/local/bin/openssl
      4. Re-link the proper brew version:
         • sudo ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2i/bin/openssl /usr/local/bin/openssl
         • sudo ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2j/include/openssl/ /usr/local/include/openssl
      5. Restore original permissions on /usr/local/bin:
         • sudo chown root:wheel /usr/local
5. Some errors might happen when executing mozapkpublisher/push_apk.py
   1. You might have errors like
      • Errors in from_p12_keyfile in oauth2client/service_account.py or
      • ImportError: cannot import name _openssl_crypt
        • pip uninstall oauth2client
        • pip install oauth2client==2.0.0
        • pip install google-api-python-client==1.5.0
   2. Symbol not found: _BIO_new_CMS
      • pip uninstall cryptography
      • LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib" pip install cryptography --no-use-wheel

A guide to manually publish APKs onto Google Play Store

1. Generate a Google Play Store p12 certificate. This certificate needs to have write access to the app you want to publish. In this context, "app" means Fennec, Fennec Beta or Fennec Nightly.
2. Execute the steps defined in the section above.
3. Download the latest signed builds. For instance, for Fennec Nightly: ./mozapkpublisher/get_apk.py --latest-nightly

./mozapkpublisher/push_apk.py --package-name org.mozilla.fennec_aurora --track beta --credentials /path/to/your/googleplay/creds.p12 --service-account [email protected] --apk-x86 x86.apk  --apk-armv7-v15 arm.apk --dry-run

• Note the --dry-run option. This will do everything needed, but commit the transaction.
• Note org.mozilla.fennec_aurora, even though we're publishing Nightly. This is because of Bug 1354821
• Note beta track on Google Play, that's our way to show to people on Play Store that it's not a finished product. We don't use the "production" track for Nightly, unlike beta and release.

1. Run the above command, but without --dry-run
