RELEASE_STORE_FILE=~/production.keystore
RELEASE_STORE_PASSWORD=password_here
RELEASE_KEY_ALIAS=production
RELEASE_KEY_PASSWORD=password_here
  • Ensure the production.keystore file includes the AB:47:6B:2C:00:7E:00:35:3C:CA:58:5F:43:89:6F:8D:2F:F6:EB:B3 SHA by executing:
keytool -list -v -keystore ~/production.keystore
  • Navigate to https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials?project=blue-plaques-london
  • Alter the com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY property in AndroidManifest.xml to include the production key for Google Maps. The Google Developer Console lists it as a production key.
  • Execute ./gradlew assembleRelease to build.
  • Execute adb install app/build/outputs/apk/app-release.apk while having a device attached.
