Walkthrough

GitHub Actions workflows are modernized and consolidated: the Android CI pipeline migrates from multiple local jobs to a single external workflow delegation, while other workflows update runner environments from Ubuntu 22.04 to 24.04 and upgrade GitHub Actions versions for improved compatibility and security.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
CI Pipeline Consolidation .github/workflows/android.yml	Replaces five separate jobs (lint, api_check, build, unitTest, Sonar) and env block with single base-android-ci job delegating to GetStream/stream-build-conventions-android/.github/workflows/android-ci.yml@v0.6.0 using secrets: inherit
Infrastructure & Dependency Updates .github/workflows/app-distribute.yml, internal-app-distribute.yml, release-docs.yaml	Ubuntu runner upgraded from 22.04 → 24.04; checkout action bumped v2 → v4; peaceiris GitHub Pages action v3 → v4; minor newline formatting cleanup

Poem

🐰 Our workflows dance in unified grace,
One pipeline now takes android's place,
Ubuntu runs swift on twenty-four's stage,
Actions upgraded—a new modern age!
CI consolidated, maintenance light,
Stream's shared conventions shining bright! ✨

Pre-merge checks and finishing touches

✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

Check name	Status	Explanation
Title check	✅ Passed	The title 'Use Android CI from common workflows' clearly summarizes the main change: switching to a shared/common CI workflow for Android.
Description check	✅ Passed	The description covers Goal, Implementation, UI Changes, and Testing as required; however, the GIF section is not provided and several critical contributor checklist items remain unchecked.
Linked Issues check	✅ Passed	The PR implements the core objective of AND-781 by consolidating the Android CI pipeline into a shared common workflow, reducing duplication and improving consistency across SDKs.
Out of Scope Changes check	✅ Passed	The PR includes workflow file updates (android.yml, app-distribute.yml, internal-app-distribute.yml, release-docs.yaml) that are all scoped to CI unification; however, minor upgrades to tool versions (ubuntu-22.04 to ubuntu-24.04, actions/checkout v2 to v4) go slightly beyond the core objective.
Docstring Coverage	✅ Passed	No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check.

.github/workflows/app-distribute.yml (1)

12-14: LGTM.

Runner and checkout action updates align with the CI modernization across the PR.

.github/workflows/release-docs.yaml (2)

12-12: LGTM.

Runner update to ubuntu-24.04 aligns with other workflows in this PR.

---

22-22: LGTM.

Updating peaceiris/actions-gh-pages to v4 is a good modernization.

.github/workflows/android.yml (1)

20-22: External workflow version v0.6.0 is current and appropriate for this delegation.

The v0.6.0 tag exists and is the latest release (published December 23, 2025). Notably, the release notes confirm this version specifically includes "Create shared Android CI workflow," which directly validates the purpose of this change. The repository shows consistent versioning history (v0.1.0 through v0.6.0) with no breaking changes noted in the changelog for this release. Verify that all required secrets are properly consumed by the external workflow through testing before merging.

.github/workflows/internal-app-distribute.yml (1)

20-22: Consider stability trade-offs before adopting ubuntu-24.04.

The actions/checkout@v4 update is compatible with ubuntu-24.04; however, GitHub's runner-images reports documented stability issues with the ubuntu-24.04 image (Jan 2025–present): slower CI run times vs. ubuntu-22.04, intermittent OOM failures (exit 137), and capacity/queueing delays on public repos. This workflow does not use Docker/QEMU (where the worst issues occur), so it should function, but performance degradation and potential transient failures are possible. Weigh the modernization benefit against reliability risk, or monitor build times and failures closely if adopting ubuntu-24.04.
