README

Creating a Release

Make sure you have the latest changes from Github
Update the version number in the Android Manifest
- If it is a minor release, increment the least-significant number (#.#._)
- If it is a major release, or we have had a number of minor releases, increment the second least-significant number (#._.0)
- Once we have had a number of major releases, increment the most-significant number (_.0.0)
In Android Studio, under the Build menu, choose Generate Signed APK
On the next screen, choose "Use existing keystore" and change the Location to the location of the "WorthwhileGamesKey" file in Dropbox
- Ask Brian if you don't already know the password
On the next screen, choose the Alias "worthwhilegames" and the password is the same as the previous step
Choose a location for the APK to be exported

We should create a tag in Git whenever we publish an update just so that we have a good history of what changes were introduced in which version

From the Terminal, navigate to the CardGames repository
From the CardGames repository folder, run the following command to create a tag
The name of the tag should follow the format "v#.#.#", where the '#' characters are replaced with the actual version from the Android Manifest

git tag [name of tag]
The push the tag to Github

git push --tags

It is also a good idea to have a copy of the APK from each release, just in case.

Rename the APK uploaded to the Developer Console to CardGames_v#.#.#.apk, where the '#' characters are replaced with the actual version number
Move the renamed APK to the Releases directory in the Dropbox folder
