splitter

A command to deploy your apps to several mobile app distribution services. The motivation of splitter is to encourage Mobile App Deployment as Code.

// for internal dogfooding
splitter deploy -f path/to/aab -n dogfooding

// for pull request
splitter deploy -f path/to/aab -n pull-request

// for design reviews
splitter deploy -f path/to/aab -n design-review

Configuration-based deployment

splitter allows you to manage deployment configuration as Code. This feature makes you focus on defining deployments.

USAGE:
   splitter deploy [options]

OPTIONS:
   --name string, -n string         deployment name in your configuration file. [$SPLITTER_DEPLOYMENT_NAME]
   --source-path string, -f string  A path to an app file.
   --release-note string            An release note of this revision. Some of services may not support this option. [$SPLITTER_DEPLOYMENT_RELEASE_NOTE]

On-demand deployment

splitter provides commands specified for deployment to each service. This mode doesn't use deployments configuration in the config file.

These commands may accept finer-grained options than the configuration-based command.

DeployGate - https://deploygate.com/

The minimum behaviour just creates new releases, but you can create and/or Distribution.

USAGE:
   splitter deploygate [options]

OPTIONS:
   --app-owner-name string, -n string  User name or Organization name. [$DEPLOYGATE_APP_OWNER_NAME]
   --api-token string, -t string       The api token of the app owner. [$DEPLOYGATE_API_TOKEN]
   --source-path string, -f string     A path to an app file.
   --message string, -m string         A short message of this revision.
   --distribution-access-key string    An access key of a distribution that must exist. If the both of key and name are specified, key takes priority.
   --distribution-name string          An name (title) of a distribution that does not have to exist. If the both of key and name are specified, key takes priority.
   --distribution-release-note string  An release note of this revision that will be available only while being distributed via the specified distribution.
   --disable-ios-notification          Specify this file if you would like to disable notifications for iOS.

Firebase App Distribution - https://firebase.google.com/docs/app-distribution

The minimum behaviour just creates new releases, but you can update release notes and distribute to specific groups.

USAGE:
   splitter firebase-app-distribution [options]

OPTIONS:
   --app-id string                   Firebase App ID. e.g. 1:123456578:android:xxxxxxx [$FIREBASE_APP_ID]
   --source-path string, -f string   A path to an app file.
   --access-token string, -t string  The access token to use for this distribution. [$FIREBASE_CLI_TOKEN]
   --credentials string              A path to a credentials json file.
   --release-note string             An release note of this revision.
   --group-aliases string            Aliases of groups. Separate multiple aliases by commas.
   --tester-emails string            Emails of testers. Separate multiple aliases by commas.

To get your access token, we recommend https://github.com/google/oauth2l.

Local

Your local file system.

USAGE:
   splitter local [options]

OPTIONS:
   --source-path string, -f string  A source path to an app file.
   --destination-path string        A destination path to an app file.
   --delete-source                  Specify true if you would not like to keep the source file.
   --overwrite                      Specify true if you allow to overwrite the existing destination file.
   --file-mode uint                 The final file permission of the destination path. (default: Same to the source)

Custom Service

service command does this. You can distribute your apps to the defined service in the config file.

USAGE:
   splitter service [options]

OPTIONS:
   --source-path string, -f string                A path to an app file.
   --auth-token string, -t string                 The auth token to use for this distribution.
   --name string, -n string                       A service name in the config file.
   --header string [ --header string ]            Append <key>=<value> to headers
   --query-param string [ --query-param string ]  Append <key>=<value> to query parameters
   --form-param string [ --form-param string ]    Append <key>=<value> to form parameters

Deployment results

Every successful deployment, whether configuration-based or on-demand, is dumped into .splitter-dist/<run-name>/<name>.json so that the following commands in your sequence can consume it without parsing the stdout.

• <run-name> is a UTC timestamp such as 20240101T091500Z unless --run-name is given.
• <name> is a deployment name of the configuration-based command, otherwise a service name.

splitter deploy -n pull-request -f path/to/apk --run-name "pr-${GITHUB_PULL_NUMBER}"

install_url=$(jq -r '.release.install_url' ".splitter-dist/pr-${GITHUB_PULL_NUMBER}/pull-request.json")

OPTIONS:
   --dist-dir string  A base directory that deployment results are dumped into. (default: .splitter-dist) [$SPLITTER_DIST_DIR]
   --run-name string  A directory name of this execution under the dist directory. (default: the current timestamp) [$SPLITTER_RUN_NAME]

dist-dir is also configurable in your config file.

Schema

app and release are the normalized view of a response. Every field of them is nullable because no service exposes all of them. values is the parsed response of the service and raw is the response as-is.
