Build Release

Automates the full release build workflow for the Phzse app: bump build numbers, build web assets, build the Android .aab, commit everything, and push.

Prerequisites

• Must be in the C:/Users/skf_s/phzse project directory
• Git must be on the correct branch (verify first, never assume)

Steps

Execute these steps in order. Stop and report if any step fails.

1. Verify branch

cd "C:/Users/skf_s/phzse" && git branch

Confirm you're on master. If not, warn the user before proceeding.

2. Read current build numbers

Read these two files to find the current build number:

• iOS: codemagic.yaml — find the line agvtool new-version -all N and extract N
• Android: android/app/build.gradle — find the line versionCode N and extract N
• Also extract versionName from build.gradle (e.g., "2.1.0") for the .aab filename

Both should be the same number. The new build number = current + 1.

3. Bump build numbers

Edit both files, replacing the old number with the new one:

• codemagic.yaml: agvtool new-version -all {NEW}
• android/app/build.gradle: versionCode {NEW}

4. Build web assets

cd "C:/Users/skf_s/phzse" && npm run build

Wait for completion. This must succeed before proceeding.

5. Sync Capacitor

cd "C:/Users/skf_s/phzse" && npx cap sync android

6. Build Android bundle

cd "C:/Users/skf_s/phzse/android" && ./gradlew bundleRelease

This takes 30-60 seconds. Must finish with BUILD SUCCESSFUL.

7. Copy .aab to project root

cp "C:/Users/skf_s/phzse/android/app/build/outputs/bundle/release/app-release.aab" \
   "C:/Users/skf_s/phzse/app-release-v{VERSION_NAME}-build{NEW_BUILD}.aab"

The .aab is gitignored, so it won't be committed — it's just for local reference / Play Store upload.

8. Stage, commit, and push

Stage all modified files (not untracked directories like .gstack/ or prototypes/):

git add codemagic.yaml android/app/build.gradle

Also stage any OTHER unstaged modified files from the current session (check git status first). Do NOT stage untracked directories unless they're clearly part of the work.

Commit with:

chore: bump build {NEW_BUILD} and release .aab

Then push:

git push

9. Report

Tell the user:

• Build number bumped: {OLD} → {NEW}
• .aab file: app-release-v{VERSION}-build{NEW}.aab
• Committed and pushed to remote
