🕷 Build and release debug APK from your Android project

## Warning âš 
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
