gplay-release-flow

gplay-release-flow is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PollyGlot/google-play-cli-skills. It costs 74 tokens per session (1,566 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command-line workflow for releasing Android app builds through Google Play. A track is a testing or release channel, such as internal, alpha, beta, or production; the workflow also manages staged rollouts, where a release reaches users gradually.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to upload APK or AAB files, promote an existing build between tracks, start or control a staged production rollout, inspect track contents, and attach ProGuard or R8 mapping files.
Why use it?
It puts uploading, promotion, rollout control, and track inspection into repeatable commands instead of requiring each step to be performed manually in Play Console.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

gplay-release-flow scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 13d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 167 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

gplay release flow

Drive the Google Play release lifecycle with gplay releases: upload a build to a track, promote it up the ladder, run a staged rollout on production (halt / resume / complete it), and list what a track holds.

Shared conventions are in gplay-cli-usage; onboarding auth is gplay-setup.

Mental model: the track ladder + the rollout state machine

A build is uploaded to one track (internal, alpha, beta, production, or any custom closed-track name) and then promoted up the ladder: the same versionCode, no AAB re-upload. On a track, the latest release moves through a small state machine:

draft ──► inProgress (userFraction f) ──► completed (f = 1.0)
               │  ▲
            halt│  │resume
               ▼  │
             halted (fraction preserved)

rollout sets the fraction, halt freezes it, resume un-freezes it, and complete ramps to 100%. When a track holds two releases (e.g. inProgress plus halted), every verb refuses to guess (exit 60): pin one with --version-code or --release-name.

Upload a build to a track

gplay releases upload ./app.aab --track internal
gplay releases upload ./app.aab --track production --staged 0.1 --confirm
gplay releases upload ./app.aab --track production --complete --confirm

Any string is a valid --track, but the track must already exist (see Track must exist first below). Flags: gplay releases upload --help.

AAB/APK uploads are resumable: a transient interruption resumes instead of restarting from zero. Automatic, no flag.

upload also takes a legacy .apk ([experimental], same pipeline; --format apk|bundle overrides an ambiguous extension).

Several artifacts, one release

gplay releases upload phone.aab wear.aab --track beta --retain-version-code 41

Several positional artifacts (per-ABI APKs, a phone plus a Wear bundle) land in one Edit and one release listing every versionCode, all or nothing: any failure discards the Edit. --retain-version-code keeps an already-uploaded build serving alongside them; gplay passes it unchecked, so a wrong code fails with Google's error. --mapping takes a single artifact: for a multi-artifact release, attach mappings afterwards with releases mappings upload.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
