/path/to/Package.apk \
/path/to/Expansion.obb \ # optional
/path/to/Expansion2.obb # optional
or the JavaScript API
var publisher = require('playup')({
client_email: '',
private_key: '',
})
publisher.upload('/path/to/apk', {
obbs: [ // optional expansion files (max 2)
'/path/to/somefile.obb'
],
recentChanges: {
'en-US': 'lorem ipsum dolor'
},
}).then(function (data) {
console.log(' > %s version %d is up!', data.packageName, data.versionCode)
})
Authentication
First you have to create a Google Play API Access. To do that go to the Google Play Developer Console and then with the account owner go to Settings -> API access and create a Google Play Android Developer project.
After that follow the instructions to create a Service Account. When you click Create Client ID, choose Service Account. You will get a JSON file with a public key and the service email.
gulp support
The upload
method returns a Promise
so this package can be used in conjunction with gulp with no extra plugins needed
gulp.task(upload, function () {
return publisher.upload(apk, params)
})
