🔐 URGENT: Set Up GitHub Secret to Fix Build

The build is failing because the GOOGLE_SERVICES_JSON secret is missing.

⚡ Quick Fix (5 minutes)

Step 1: Encode the File

Open PowerShell and run this command:

[Convert]::ToBase64String([IO.File]::ReadAllBytes("app\android\app\google-services.json")) | Set-Clipboard

This will copy the encoded string to your clipboard.

Alternative (if above doesn't work):

$bytes = [System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes("app\android\app\google-services.json")
$base64 = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String($bytes)
$base64 | Set-Clipboard
Write-Host "Copied to clipboard!"

Step 2: Add to GitHub

  1. Go to: https://github.com/DevelopersCoffee/airo/settings/secrets/actions

  2. Click: "New repository secret" (green button)

  3. Enter:

    • Name: GOOGLE_SERVICES_JSON
    • Value: Press Ctrl+V to paste from clipboard

  4. Click: "Add secret" (green button)

Step 3: Re-run the Failed Build

  1. Go to: https://github.com/DevelopersCoffee/airo/actions

  2. Click on the failed workflow run (the one with the red X)

  3. Click: "Re-run all jobs" button (top right)

  4. Wait ~15-20 minutes for the build to complete

✅ That's It!

Once you add the secret and re-run the build, it should succeed!

🔍 Troubleshooting

If the PowerShell command doesn't work:

Option 1: Use Python

import base64
with open('app/android/app/google-services.json', 'rb') as f:
    encoded = base64.b64encode(f.read()).decode()
    print(encoded)

Option 2: Use Online Tool

  1. Go to: https://www.base64encode.org/
  2. Upload app/android/app/google-services.json
  3. Click "Encode"
  4. Copy the result

Option 3: Manual Copy

  1. Open app/android/app/google-services.json in a text editor
  2. Copy the entire contents
  3. Go to: https://www.base64encode.org/
  4. Paste the contents
  5. Click "Encode"
  6. Copy the result

📋 Verification

After adding the secret:

  1. ✅ Secret name is exactly: GOOGLE_SERVICES_JSON (all caps, no spaces)
  2. ✅ Secret value is the base64-encoded string (very long, starts with something like ewogICJ...)
  3. ✅ You clicked "Add secret"
  4. ✅ You re-ran the failed workflow

🎯 Expected Result

After re-running the workflow with the secret added:

  • ✅ Android build succeeds
  • ✅ APK is created
  • ✅ Release is published
  • ✅ Download link works

If you're still stuck, check:

  • GitHub Actions logs for specific error messages
  • Make sure the secret name is exactly GOOGLE_SERVICES_JSON
  • Make sure you re-ran the workflow after adding the secret
