Release flow (Google Play) Use this skill when you need to upload a build, publish to a track, or manage rollout. Preconditions Ensure credentials are set ( GPD_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY ). Use a new version code for each upload. Always pass --package explicitly. Preferred end-to-end commands Upload and release to a track gpd publish upload app.aab --package com.example.app gpd publish release --package com.example.app --track internal --status completed Promote between tracks gpd publish promote --package com.example.app --from-track beta --to-track production Manual sequence with edit lifecycle Use when you need precise control or multiple changes in one commit.
1. Create edit
EDIT_ID
$( gpd publish edit create --package com.example.app | jq -r '.data.editId' )
2. Upload build without auto-commit
gpd publish upload app.aab --package com.example.app --edit-id $EDIT_ID --no-auto-commit
3. Configure release
gpd publish release --package com.example.app --track internal --status draft --edit-id $EDIT_ID
4. Validate and commit
gpd publish edit validate $EDIT_ID --package com.example.app gpd publish edit commit $EDIT_ID --package com.example.app Staged rollout gpd publish release --package com.example.app --track production --status inProgress --version-code 123 gpd publish rollout --package com.example.app --track production --percentage 5 gpd publish rollout --package com.example.app --track production --percentage 50 gpd publish rollout --package com.example.app --track production --percentage 100 Halt or rollback gpd publish halt --package com.example.app --track production --confirm gpd publish rollback --package com.example.app --track production --confirm Track status gpd publish status --package com.example.app --track production gpd publish tracks --package com.example.app Notes Use --status draft first for risky releases. Use --confirm only after reviewing gpd publish status output.
