🕷 Build and release debug APK from your Android project

## Warning ⚠

Add a target branch (eg. master) to build the APK to prevent infinite loop (releasing the APK on the release tag will trigger a rerun of the action).

## Usage

To use the action simply add the following lines to your `.github/workflows/android.yml` and provide the required Secrets and Environment variables.

#### YML

```

name: Build & Publish Debug APK

on:

 push:

  branches:

   - master

   

jobs:

  build:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:

    - uses: actions/checkout@v1

    - name: set up JDK 1.8

      uses: actions/setup-java@v1

      with:

        java-version: 1.8

    - name: Make Gradle executable

      run: chmod +x ./gradlew

    - name: Build with Gradle

      run: ./gradlew build

    - name: Build Debug APK

      run: ./gradlew assembleDebug

    - name: Releasing using Hub

      uses: ShaunLWM/action-release-debugapk@master

      env:

       GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.TOKEN }}

       APP_FOLDER: app

       RELEASE_TITLE: New Build

```

### Secrets

You'll need to provide this secret token to use the action (for publishing the APK). Enter these secrets in your Settings > Secrets

* **TOKEN**: Create a new [access token](https://github.com/settings/tokens) with `repo` access.

I am unsure as to why using the default `GITHUB_TOKEN` provided universally will fail to authorize the user. This is the only workaround that I'd found.

### Environment Variables

You'll need to provide these environment variables to specify exactly what information is needed to build the APK.

* **APP_FOLDER**: main folder to search for the apk. Most of the time, it's `app`

* **RELEASE_TITLE**: title for release
