Release Mobile: build APK on-runner with Gradle (drop EAS) - #32
Merged
Conversation
Replace the EAS build step in the release workflow with a signed Gradle build on the GitHub runner, removing the dependency on EAS Build and its monthly free-tier quota (which had blocked the v1.1.5 release). - setup-java (17) + setup-android + explicit NDK 27.1 install (Expo SDK 57). - expo prebuild → gradlew :app:assembleRelease. - Signing from repo secrets (ANDROID_KEYSTORE_BASE64 / *_PASSWORD / ANDROID_KEY_ALIAS), fed to the release signingConfig via the withReleaseSigning config plugin. - Tag push (v*.*.*) → publish "Kept vX" release with kept.apk, matching the promo site's releases/latest/download/kept.apk URL. - Added workflow_dispatch: builds + uploads the APK as a run artifact without publishing, for smoke-testing the build.

Extends the on-runner release workflow (#32) to cut both artifacts on every tag: kept.apk for direct install/testing and kept.aab for Play Console upload. Hardens the signature check from "some cert exists" to an exact SHA-256 match against the Kept upload key, so a misconfigured keystore secret fails the build instead of shipping a wrongly-signed artifact, and scrubs the keystore + credentials from the runner after the build. Also bump android.versionCode to 7 for the 1.1.6 Play release and switch the android/ios npm scripts to expo run:* (native builds, not just the dev server).
