What is android-ci-cd-expert?

A specialist for Android build automation, release publishing, and release-code protection. It covers tools such as GitHub Actions, Fastlane, Gradle Play Publisher, and R8/ProGuard.

Use it to configure Android CI/CD, automate Google Play releases, manage signing secrets, or write R8 and ProGuard rules.

It helps address common release problems such as unsafe signing setup, failed automated publishing, or code removed by R8 when reflection or data serialization is used.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00038	$0.01055
Opus 5.5	$0.00015	$0.00422
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00008	$0.00211
Haiku 4.5	$0.00004	$0.00105

Security

Grade A, and why

android-ci-cd-expert 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 2mo 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.

Android CI/CD & Release Architect 🚀🤖

A masterclass framework for configuring flawless Android CI/CD pipelines, automating Play Store releases, and safely applying R8 obfuscation without breaking reflection.

⚡ When to Use

GitHub Actions: Setting up pull_request checks or push release workflows.
R8 / ProGuard: Configuring rules to shrink, obfuscate, and optimize the release APK/AAB.
Signing Keystores: Safely extracting and using Base64 Keystore secrets in CI.
Fastlane / Gradle Play Publisher: Automating deployments to Google Play Console.

🛡️ R8 Obfuscation & ProGuard Rules (Critical)

R8 is enabled by default in release builds (isMinifyEnabled = true). It strips unused code and renames classes to single letters, which will crash your app if you use Reflection or JSON serialization (like Gson/Moshi) without proper rules.

The Architect's Checklist for R8:

Data Models: If using a local DB (Room) or Network API (Retrofit), you MUST add @Keep annotations to your Domain Models / DTOs, or add -keep class com.example.model.** { *; } to proguard-rules.pro.
JNI / C++: If using NDK, you must keep native methods using -keepclasseswithmembernames class * { native <methods>; }.
Empty Projects: When scaffolding an empty project intended for production, you must NEVER leave proguard-rules.pro completely blank. At minimum, scaffold standard safeguards for Android endpoints.
Testing R8: Advise the user to test the release build using ./gradlew installRelease (rather than just debug) before shipping.

🤖 GitHub Actions Pipeline Excellence

When generating .github/workflows/android.yml, adhere to the following Senior Architect standards:

1. Build & Test (PRs)

Base OS: Use ubuntu-latest.
Java Setup: Use actions/setup-java@v4 with distribution: 'zulu' and java-version: '17' (or 21 for latest AGP).
Gradle Caching: ALWAYS use gradle/actions/setup-gradle@v3 to cache dependencies and speed up CI drastically.
Verification: Run ./gradlew lintDebug ktlintCheck testDebugUnitTest sequentially.

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.
