# APK Signing Implementation - Complete Summary
**Status**: ✅ Implementation Complete | 🟡 Secrets Configuration Pending
**Last Updated**: 2024
---
## 📋 What Was Implemented
### 1. GitHub Actions Workflow Updates
**File**: `.github/workflows/product-release.yml`
**New Steps Added**:
1. **🔐 Setup APK Signing** (before build)
- Detects app (worker/client) and environment (dev/stage/prod)
- Decodes keystore from GitHub Secrets
- Sets CodeMagic-compatible environment variables
- Configures `CI=true` for build.gradle.kts detection
- Gracefully handles missing secrets with warnings
2. **✅ Verify APK Signature** (after build)
- Verifies APK is properly signed using `jarsigner`
- Displays certificate details
- Shows signer information
- Provides helpful warnings if unsigned
**How It Works**:
```yaml
Setup Signing:
- Reads: ${{ secrets.WORKER_KEYSTORE_DEV_BASE64 }}
- Decodes to: /tmp/keystores/release.jks
- Sets env: CI=true, CM_KEYSTORE_PATH_STAFF=/tmp/keystores/release.jks
Build APK:
- Runs: make mobile-staff-build PLATFORM=apk MODE=release
- build.gradle.kts detects CI=true
- Uses environment variables for signing
Verify Signature:
- Checks with: jarsigner -verify app-release.apk
- Displays certificate info
```
### 2. Documentation Created
**Files Created**:
| File | Purpose | Lines |
|------|---------|-------|
| [docs/RELEASE/APK_SIGNING_SETUP.md](../../docs/RELEASE/APK_SIGNING_SETUP.md) | Complete setup guide | 300+ |
| [docs/RELEASE/GITHUB_SECRETS_CHECKLIST.md](../../docs/RELEASE/GITHUB_SECRETS_CHECKLIST.md) | Quick reference checklist | 120+ |
| [.github/scripts/setup-github-secrets.sh](../../.github/scripts/setup-github-secrets.sh) | Helper script | 200+ |
### 3. Scripts Created
**File**: `.github/scripts/setup-github-secrets.sh`
**Purpose**: Interactive helper to:
- Show which secrets are needed
- Generate base64 from existing keystores
- Display keytool information
- Provide copy-paste commands
**Usage**:
```bash
./.github/scripts/setup-github-secrets.sh
```
---
## 🔑 GitHub Secrets Required
**Total: 24 Secrets** (6 keystores × 4 properties each)
### Secret Naming Pattern:
```
{APP}_KEYSTORE_{ENV}_BASE64
{APP}_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD_{ENV}
{APP}_KEY_ALIAS_{ENV}
{APP}_KEY_PASSWORD_{ENV}
```
Where:
- `{APP}` = `WORKER` or `CLIENT`
- `{ENV}` = `DEV`, `STAGING`, or `PROD`
### Full List:
**Worker Mobile (12 secrets)**:
- `WORKER_KEYSTORE_DEV_BASE64`, `WORKER_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD_DEV`, `WORKER_KEY_ALIAS_DEV`, `WORKER_KEY_PASSWORD_DEV`
- `WORKER_KEYSTORE_STAGING_BASE64`, `WORKER_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD_STAGING`, `WORKER_KEY_ALIAS_STAGING`, `WORKER_KEY_PASSWORD_STAGING`
- `WORKER_KEYSTORE_PROD_BASE64`, `WORKER_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD_PROD`, `WORKER_KEY_ALIAS_PROD`, `WORKER_KEY_PASSWORD_PROD`
**Client Mobile (12 secrets)**:
- `CLIENT_KEYSTORE_DEV_BASE64`, `CLIENT_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD_DEV`, `CLIENT_KEY_ALIAS_DEV`, `CLIENT_KEY_PASSWORD_DEV`
- `CLIENT_KEYSTORE_STAGING_BASE64`, `CLIENT_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD_STAGING`, `CLIENT_KEY_ALIAS_STAGING`, `CLIENT_KEY_PASSWORD_STAGING`
- `CLIENT_KEYSTORE_PROD_BASE64`, `CLIENT_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD_PROD`, `CLIENT_KEY_ALIAS_PROD`, `CLIENT_KEY_PASSWORD_PROD`
---
## 🚀 How to Configure
### Step 1: Prepare Dev Keystores
Dev keystores are already in the repository:
- Worker: `apps/mobile/apps/staff/android/app/krow_with_us_staff_dev.jks`
- Client: `apps/mobile/apps/client/android/app/krow_with_us_client_dev.jks`
Generate base64:
```bash
# Worker Dev
base64 -i apps/mobile/apps/staff/android/app/krow_with_us_staff_dev.jks
# Client Dev
base64 -i apps/mobile/apps/client/android/app/krow_with_us_client_dev.jks
```
### Step 2: Retrieve Staging/Prod Keystores
**Option A**: From CodeMagic
1. Go to CodeMagic → Team Settings → Code signing identities
2. Download keystores: `krow_staff_staging.jks`, `krow_staff_prod.jks`, etc.
3. Generate base64 for each
**Option B**: From Secure Storage
1. Retrieve from your organization's key management system
2. Generate base64 for each
### Step 3: Add to GitHub
1. Go to: **Repository → Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions**
2. Click: **New repository secret**
3. Add all 24 secrets (use checklist: [GITHUB_SECRETS_CHECKLIST.md](../../docs/RELEASE/GITHUB_SECRETS_CHECKLIST.md))
### Step 4: Test the Workflow
```bash
# Test with dev environment first
# Go to: Actions → Product Release → Run workflow
# Select:
# - App: worker-mobile-app
# - Environment: dev
# - Version type: patch
# - Create GitHub Release: true
```
**Expected Output**:
```
🔐 Setting up Android signing for worker-mobile-app in dev environment...
✅ Keystore decoded successfully
📦 Keystore size: 3.2K
✅ Signing environment configured for STAFF (dev environment)
🔑 Using key alias: krow_staff_dev
📱 Building Staff (Worker) APK...
✅ APK built successfully
🔍 Verifying APK signature...
✅ APK is properly signed!
📜 Certificate Details: [shows cert info]
```
---
## 🔒 Security Considerations
### ✅ Safe Practices
1. **Dev keystores in repo**: Acceptable for development
- Committed: `krow_with_us_staff_dev.jks`, `krow_with_us_client_dev.jks`
- Password: `krowwithus` (public knowledge)
2. **Staging/Prod keystores**: ONLY in GitHub Secrets
- Never commit to repository
- Encrypted at rest by GitHub
- Only accessible in workflow runs
3. **Keystore cleanup**: Workflow stores in `${{ runner.temp }}`
- Automatically deleted after job completes
- Not persisted in artifacts or logs
### ⚠️ Important Notes
1. **Same keystores as CodeMagic**: Use identical keystores to ensure app updates work
2. **Signature consistency**: Apps signed with different keystores cannot update each other
3. **Key rotation**: Document process for rotating production keys
4. **Backup keystores**: Keep secure backups - lost keystores = can't update app

# APK Signing Setup for GitHub Actions
**For Worker Mobile & Client Mobile Apps**
---
## 📋 Overview
This document explains how to set up APK signing for automated builds in GitHub Actions. The same keystore files used in CodeMagic will be used here.
---
## 🔑 Understanding App Signing
### Why Sign APKs?
- **Required by Google Play**: All Android apps must be signed before distribution
- **App Identity**: The signature identifies your app across updates
- **Security**: Ensures the APK hasn't been tampered with
### Keystore Files
Each app and environment combination has its own keystore:
**Worker Mobile (Staff App):**
- `krow_staff_dev.jks` - Development builds
- `krow_staff_staging.jks` - Staging builds
- `krow_staff_prod.jks` - Production builds
**Client Mobile:**
- `krow_client_dev.jks` - Development builds
- `krow_client_staging.jks` - Staging builds
- `krow_client_prod.jks` - Production builds
### Current State
-**Dev keystores** are committed to the repository (in `apps/mobile/apps/*/android/app/`)
- ⚠️ **Staging/Prod keystores** are stored securely in CodeMagic (NOT in repo)
---
## 🔐 GitHub Secrets Setup
### Step 1: Export Keystores as Base64
For staging and production keystores (stored in CodeMagic), you'll need to:
```bash
# On your local machine with access to the keystore files:
# For Worker Mobile - Staging
base64 -i krow_staff_staging.jks -o krow_staff_staging.jks.base64
# For Worker Mobile - Production
base64 -i krow_staff_prod.jks -o krow_staff_prod.jks.base64
# For Client Mobile - Staging
base64 -i krow_client_staging.jks -o krow_client_staging.jks.base64
# For Client Mobile - Production
base64 -i krow_client_prod.jks -o krow_client_prod.jks.base64
```
### Step 2: Create GitHub Secrets
Go to: **GitHub Repository → Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions → New repository secret**
Create the following secrets:
#### Worker Mobile (Staff App) Secrets
| Secret Name | Value | Environment |
|-------------|-------|-------------|
| `WORKER_KEYSTORE_DEV_BASE64` | (base64 of dev keystore) | dev |
| `WORKER_KEYSTORE_STAGING_BASE64` | (base64 of staging keystore) | stage |
| `WORKER_KEYSTORE_PROD_BASE64` | (base64 of prod keystore) | prod |
| `WORKER_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD_DEV` | `krowwithus` | dev |
| `WORKER_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD_STAGING` | (actual staging password) | stage |
| `WORKER_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD_PROD` | (actual prod password) | prod |
| `WORKER_KEY_ALIAS_DEV` | `krow_staff_dev` | dev |
| `WORKER_KEY_ALIAS_STAGING` | (actual staging alias) | stage |
| `WORKER_KEY_ALIAS_PROD` | (actual prod alias) | prod |
| `WORKER_KEY_PASSWORD_DEV` | `krowwithus` | dev |
| `WORKER_KEY_PASSWORD_STAGING` | (actual staging key password) | stage |
| `WORKER_KEY_PASSWORD_PROD` | (actual prod key password) | prod |
#### Client Mobile Secrets
| Secret Name | Value | Environment |
|-------------|-------|-------------|
| `CLIENT_KEYSTORE_DEV_BASE64` | (base64 of dev keystore) | dev |
| `CLIENT_KEYSTORE_STAGING_BASE64` | (base64 of staging keystore) | stage |
| `CLIENT_KEYSTORE_PROD_BASE64` | (base64 of prod keystore) | prod |
| `CLIENT_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD_DEV` | `krowwithus` | dev |
| `CLIENT_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD_STAGING` | (actual staging password) | stage |
| `CLIENT_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD_PROD` | (actual prod password) | prod |
| `CLIENT_KEY_ALIAS_DEV` | `krow_client_dev` | dev |
| `CLIENT_KEY_ALIAS_STAGING` | (actual staging alias) | stage |
| `CLIENT_KEY_ALIAS_PROD` | (actual prod alias) | prod |
| `CLIENT_KEY_PASSWORD_DEV` | `krowwithus` | dev |
| `CLIENT_KEY_PASSWORD_STAGING` | (actual staging key password) | stage |
| `CLIENT_KEY_PASSWORD_PROD` | (actual prod key password) | prod |

## ⚙️ How It Works in GitHub Actions
### Build Configuration Detection
The `build.gradle.kts` files check for `CI=true` environment variable:
```kotlin
signingConfigs {
create("release") {
if (System.getenv()["CI"] == "true") {
// CI environment (CodeMagic or GitHub Actions)
storeFile = file(System.getenv()["CM_KEYSTORE_PATH_STAFF"] ?: "")
storePassword = System.getenv()["CM_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD_STAFF"]
keyAlias = System.getenv()["CM_KEY_ALIAS_STAFF"]
keyPassword = System.getenv()["CM_KEY_PASSWORD_STAFF"]
} else {
// Local development (uses key.properties)
keyAlias = keystoreProperties["keyAlias"] as String?
keyPassword = keystoreProperties["keyPassword"] as String?
storeFile = keystoreProperties["storeFile"]?.let { file(it) }
storePassword = keystoreProperties["storePassword"] as String?
}
}
}
```
### GitHub Actions Workflow Steps
1. **Decode Keystore**: Convert base64 secret back to `.jks` file
2. **Set Environment Variables**: Provide the same env vars CodeMagic uses
3. **Build APK**: Flutter build automatically uses the signing config
4. **Verify Signature**: Optionally verify the APK is signed correctly
---
## 🚀 Usage
### For Development Builds
Dev keystores are already in the repo, so GitHub Actions will automatically use them:
```bash
# No special setup needed for dev builds
# They use committed keystores: krow_with_us_staff_dev.jks
```
### For Staging/Production Builds
Once GitHub Secrets are configured (Step 2 above), the workflow will:
1. Detect the environment (dev/stage/prod)
2. Use the appropriate keystore secret
3. Decode it before building
4. Sign the APK automatically
---
## ✅ Verification
### Check APK Signature
After building, verify the APK is signed:
```bash
# Using keytool (part of Java JDK)
keytool -printcert -jarfile app-release.apk
# Expected output should show certificate info with your key alias
```
### Check Build Logs
In GitHub Actions, look for:
```
✅ Keystore decoded successfully
✅ APK signed with: krow_staff_prod
✅ APK built successfully: /path/to/app-release.apk
```
---
## 🔒 Security Best Practices
### DO:
- ✅ Store production keystores ONLY in GitHub Secrets (encrypted)
- ✅ Use different keystores for dev/staging/prod
- ✅ Rotate passwords periodically
- ✅ Limit access to repository secrets (use environment protection rules)
- ✅ Keep keystore files backed up securely offline
### DON'T:
- ❌ Never commit staging/production keystores to Git
- ❌ Never share keystore passwords in plain text
- ❌ Never use production keystores for development
- ❌ Never commit `.jks` files for staging/prod
---
## 📝 Keystore Management Commands
### Generate New Keystore
```bash
keytool -genkey -v \
-keystore krow_staff_prod.jks \
-alias krow_staff_prod \
-keyalg RSA \
-keysize 2048 \
-validity 10000 \
-storetype JKS
```
### View Keystore Info
```bash
keytool -list -v -keystore krow_staff_prod.jks
```
### Get SHA-1 and SHA-256 Fingerprints
```bash
keytool -list -v -keystore krow_staff_prod.jks -alias krow_staff_prod
```
These fingerprints are needed for:
- Firebase project configuration
- Google Maps API key restrictions
- Google Play Console app signing
---
## 🆘 Troubleshooting
### "keystore not found" Error
**Problem**: GitHub Actions can't find the decoded keystore
**Solution**: Check the decode step in the workflow creates the file in the correct location
### "wrong password" Error
**Problem**: Keystore password doesn't match
**Solution**: Verify the GitHub Secret value matches the actual keystore password
### APK Not Signed
**Problem**: APK builds but isn't signed
**Solution**: Ensure `CI=true` is set before building
### Certificate Mismatch
**Problem**: "App not installed" when updating
**Solution**: You're using a different keystore than previous builds. Use the same keystore for all versions.

## 🔄 Migration from CodeMagic
If you want to use GitHub Actions instead of CodeMagic:
1. Export all keystores from CodeMagic
2. Convert to base64 (as shown above)
3. Add to GitHub Secrets
4. Test with a dev build first
5. Verify signatures match previous releases
6. Deploy staging build for testing
7. Only then use for production
**Important**: Make sure the GitHub Actions builds produce the SAME signature as CodeMagic builds, otherwise app updates will fail!

# Hotfix Process
**For Emergency Production Fixes**
---
## 🚨 When to Hotfix
Use hotfix when:
- ✅ Critical bug in production affecting users
- ✅ Data loss or security vulnerability
- ✅ Service unavailable or major feature broken
- ✅ Customer-blocking issue
**Don't use hotfix for:**
- ❌ Minor bugs (can wait for next release)
- ❌ Feature requests
- ❌ Nice-to-have improvements
- ❌ Styling issues
---
## 🔄 Hotfix Process
### Step 1: Assess & Declare Emergency
```
Issue: [Brief description]
Severity: CRITICAL / HIGH / MEDIUM
Product: [Staff Mobile / Client Mobile / Web / Backend]
Environment: Production
Impact: [How many users affected]
```
Once severity confirmed → Start hotfix immediately.
---
### Step 2: Create Hotfix Branch
```bash
# From production tag
git checkout -b hotfix/krow-withus-worker-mobile-v0.1.1 \
krow-withus-worker-mobile/prod-v0.1.0
# Verify you're on the right tag
git log -1 --oneline
```
**Format**: `hotfix/<product>-v<PATCH+1>`
---
### Step 3: Fix the Bug
```bash
# Make your fix
# Edit files, test locally
# Commit with clear message
git commit -m "fix: [issue description]
HOTFIX for production
Issue: [what happened]
Solution: [what was fixed]
Tested: [how was it tested locally]"
```
**Keep it minimal:**
- Only fix the specific bug
- Don't refactor or optimize
- Don't add new features
---
### Step 4: Update Version
Update PATCH version only (0.1.0 → 0.1.1):
**For Mobile** (`apps/mobile/apps/*/pubspec.yaml`):
```yaml
# Old
version: 0.1.0+5
# New
version: 0.1.1+6 # Only PATCH changed
```
**For Web** (`apps/web/package.json`):
```json
"version": "0.1.1"
```
**For Backend** (`backend/*/package.json`):
```json
"version": "0.1.1"
```
---
### Step 5: Update CHANGELOG
Add entry to **top** of appropriate CHANGELOG:
```markdown
| 2026-03-05 | 0.1.1 | HOTFIX: [Issue fixed] |
(previous entries below...)
```
---
### Step 6: Code Review (Expedited)
```bash
# Push hotfix branch
git push origin hotfix/krow-withus-worker-mobile-v0.1.1
# Create PR on GitHub with URGENT label
gh pr create --title "HOTFIX: [Issue description]" \
--body "**URGENT PRODUCTION FIX**
Issue: [What was broken]
Impact: [Users affected]
Solution: [What was fixed]

## 📞 Common Questions
**Q: What if I need to release just one app (not both)?**
A: Completely fine! Each app is independent. Release when ready.
**Q: Do I need to update the root CHANGELOG?**
A: Optional. If you do, keep it high-level and reference app-specific CHANGELOGs.
**Q: What about shared packages inside mobile/?**
A: If shared package updated, mention in both app CHANGELOGs.
**Q: How do I handle breaking changes?**
A: MAJOR version bump (0.x → 1.x) and clearly document in CHANGELOG.
**Q: Can I release dev and stage on different days?**
A: Yes, no fixed schedule for dev/stage. Prod should be consistent (Sundays).

# KROW Workforce - Overall Release Plan
**Document Version**: 1.0
**Created**: 2026-03-05
**Last Updated**: 2026-03-05
**Product Scope**: All products (Mobile, Web, Backend, Database)
---
## 📋 Overview
This document outlines the release strategy for KROW Workforce monorepo containing 5 products:
1. **Staff Mobile App** (Flutter - iOS/Android)
2. **Client Mobile App** (Flutter - iOS/Android)
3. **Web Dashboard** (React/Vite)
4. **Backend Services** (Node.js - Command API, Core API)
5. **Database** (Firebase Data Connect with PostgreSQL)
---
## 🔗 Versioning Strategy
### Semantic Versioning (SemVer)
All products use **Semantic Versioning 2.0.0**:
```
MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH-QUALIFIER
0.1.0
1.2.3-rc.1
```
- **MAJOR** (0→1): Breaking changes, major features
- **MINOR** (1→2): Backward-compatible new features
- **PATCH** (3→4): Bug fixes, minor improvements
- **QUALIFIER** (optional): `-rc.1`, `-beta.1`, `-hotfix.1`
### Version Independence
Each product maintains **independent versioning**:
- Products release on their own schedule
- No requirement to synchronize versions
- Can release major updates independently
---
## 🏷️ Git Tag Naming Convention
### Standard Format
```
<product>/<environment>-v<major>.<minor>.<patch>
```
### Products & Environments
| Product | Tag Prefix | Environments |
|---------|-----------|---------------|
| Staff Mobile | `krow-withus-worker-mobile` | dev, stage, prod |
| Client Mobile | `krow-withus-client-mobile` | dev, stage, prod |
| Web Dashboard | `web-dashboard` | dev, stage, prod |
| Command API | `command-api` | dev, stage, prod |
| Core API | `core-api` | dev, stage, prod |
| DataConnect | `dataconnect` | stage, prod |
### Environments
- **dev**: Development releases (daily/weekly), unstable
- **stage**: Staging releases (bi-weekly), pre-production testing
- **prod**: Production releases (monthly), stable, customer-facing
### Examples
```
krow-withus-worker-mobile/dev-v0.1.0
krow-withus-client-mobile/stage-v0.2.0
web-dashboard/prod-v1.0.0
command-api/dev-v0.2.1
core-api/prod-v0.1.0
```
---
## 📅 Release Cadence
### Development Releases (dev)
- **Frequency**: Weekly or as-needed
- **Scope**: Feature completions, bug fixes
- **Duration**: Not guaranteed stable
- **Deployment**: Dev environment only
- **Who**: Development team
### Staging Releases (stage)
- **Frequency**: Bi-weekly (typically mid/end of sprint)
- **Scope**: Sprint completion, feature milestones
- **Duration**: 1-2 weeks stability expected
- **Deployment**: Staging environment for QA
- **Who**: QA team validates
### Production Releases (prod)
- **Frequency**: Monthly or sprint-based
- **Scope**: Feature milestone completion, critical fixes
- **Duration**: 4+ weeks standard support
- **Deployment**: Production environment (customer-facing)
- **Who**: Product owner approves, DevOps deploys
---
## 🔄 Product Dependency & Deployment Order
### Critical Path (for synchronized releases)
Deploy in this order:
1. **DataConnect Schema** (if schema changed)
- Deploy schema changes first
- All APIs depend on schema availability
2. **Backend Services** (parallel OK)
- Command API
- Core API
- Both can deploy simultaneously
3. **Web Dashboard**
- Can deploy once backend ready
- Test API endpoints stable
4. **Mobile Apps** (parallel OK)
- Staff Mobile
- Client Mobile
- Both can deploy simultaneously, independent of web
### Independent Releases
Products **can release independently** if:
- No backend schema changes
- No breaking API changes
- No data migrations required
Example: Staff Mobile can release UI improvements without web/backend changes.
---
