GitHub Action to build Android release

[gardner]

Not sure if you want to incorporate this yet but I hope it helps to get some CI going. It takes about 10-15 minutes per build which could probably be improved with some caching.

Any ideas why the action is failing? I setup the key how you said in the readme?

[gardner]

Just a heads up. It requires some configuration that is described in the README.

You can use a throwaway key until you are ready to publish to the Play Store. People will be able to side-load it.

It still requires a "publish on new tag". Right now it just uploads the APK as an artifact to the GitHub Actions build page. I don't think they are public unless they are explicitly published.

I'll see if I can get "publish on new tag" working and submit a PR.

Maybe there was a trailing space on one of the strings added in secrets? You could try setting the values again.

You can see the values being masked with *** in the Create key.properties step. So it seems like the names are correct.
