[Question] How do you generate pkg using brighterscript on this project?

[priscila225]

I want to know how you generate a pkg signed using brighterscript of this project. I tried creating a private channel just for test purposes, but I got error 400. I was trying using the traditional roku deploy command and this one too from tools https://github.com/iBicha/playlet/blob/main/tools/sign-package.js

Good question! I'll explain how I release Playlet.

First, get familiar with Packaging Roku channels

So this means you need a "signing password" to get a signed package.

Once that's done, you need to add it to the .env file. I described the env file here. But there's also the signing password needed to go into that file. My .env file looks like this (these are not real values - also the ROKU_DEV_ID is not needed for now):

ROKU_DEV_TARGET=192.168.1.13
ROKU_DEVPASSWORD=123abc
ROKU_SIGN_PASSWORD=VNhJWwRzVt2YWhrV1RVTN1kyRQ==
ROKU_DEV_ID=e688cad1f417466daf0ae20726b5fcfc72874e6f

Once I have that in place, I primarily use two commands for building:

npm run build:release:ci

This command does all the steps except signing the package. It's what being used for the automated releases

npm run build:release

This command does build:release:ci + sign the package. It's literally npm run build:release:ci && npm run sign-package If you only want to run the sign package step, use npm run sign-package.

I also have a process that I follow whenever I release a new version documented here
