Research direction

Start by reading prerequisites #77, #79, and #80, focusing on the Android build configuration and CI decisions they establish. Define the maintainer-supplied versioning, pinned inputs, and package identity before designing the protected release workflow. Done means release artifacts have provenance and checksums, exclude debug and local cleartext settings, protect signing credentials, and include the requested custody and unsigned verification documentation.

Description

android ci difficulty: advanced enhancement help wanted security

Roadmap: #76

Goal

Produce traceable release artifacts using the distribution model selected in #77.

Acceptance criteria

  • Define release versioning, pinned build inputs, and package identity supplied by maintainers.
  • Keep signing credentials outside the repository and untrusted pull-request jobs.
  • Add a protected release workflow with artifact provenance/checksums and explicit release invocation.
  • Verify that a release build excludes debug configuration and local cleartext exceptions.
  • Document signing-key custody, rotation implications, and an unsigned/local verification path.

Start: Android build configuration and CI from #79/#80. This issue prepares release artifacts; store publication is a separate action.

Reference: Android app signing.

Prerequisites: #77, #79, #80.
