appcenter {
    apiToken = "XXXXXXXX"                       // Api Token from AppCenter user profile

    notifyTesters = true                        // Send mail to testers
    apps {                                      // Here we manage 3 AppCenter applications : alpha, beta and prod
        alpha {                                 // When dimension is provided, this name match the productFlavor name
            dimension = "environment"           // This dimension match the flavor dimension
            appName = "GradleSample-Alpha"      // The AppCenter application name
        }
        beta {
            dimension = "environment"
            appName = "GradleSample-Beta"
        }
        prodRelease {                           // When no dimension is provided, this name match the full variant name
            appName = "GradleSample"
        }
    }
}

The plugin will create 3 tasks :

  • appCenterUploadAlphaRelease
  • appCenterUploadBetaRelease
  • appCenterUploadProdRelease

Override properties

Each apps nodes inherit properties from appcenter global properties. You can override those properties by defining properties on the target application node like in the following sample with alpha node

appcenter {
    apiToken = "XXXXXXXX"
    ownerName = "ACME"
    distributionGroups = ["Beta"]
    releaseNotes = file("../changelog.md")
    notifyTesters = false
    apps {      
        alpha {
            dimension = "environment"
            apiToken = "YYYYYYYY"
            ownerName = "AnotherOwner"
            distributionGroups = ["Alpha"]
            releaseNotes = "No Changes"
            appName = "GradleSample-Alpha"
            notifyTesters = true
        }
        prodRelease {           
            appName = "GradleSample"
        }
    }
}
