Step-by-Step Guide to Clone, Build, and Distribute an Android Gradle HelloWorld Project
This tutorial shows how to clone a sample Android Gradle repository, build both debug and release APKs using the Gradle wrapper, and upload the generated packages to the Fir platform for testing on mobile devices.
First, clone the sample repository from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/zeyangli/helloworld-android-gradle.gitNext, change into the project directory and invoke the Gradle wrapper to compile the app:
cd helloworld-android-gradle
./gradlew buildThe build process downloads required dependencies, runs lint checks, and finishes with a successful build, producing debug and release APK files located in app/build/outputs/apk/debug and app/build/outputs/apk/release respectively.
Finally, upload the generated APKs to the Fir distribution service for testing, and download them onto a device to verify installation.
