Research direction

Read dependency #263 and the Android export implementation on the feat/android-platform branch. Trace how AndroidPlayerSettings and AndroidPackageFormat are handled, and where credentials are loaded; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Done means Release builds a signed AAB that passes bundletool validate, APK signing passes apksigner verify, and Release rejects the debug keystore.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

c:build c:platform p:medium size:M t:feature

Tasks

  • Keystore from AndroidPlayerSettings; passwords from ~/.gaya/credentials.json or environment
  • Release refuses the debug keystore
  • AndroidPackageFormat=aab for Release

Acceptance Criteria

  • Signed AAB passes bundletool validate; APK passes apksigner verify
