Hi, Thanks for the nice info. I have a small query

name: 🚢 Submit
if: ${{ github.event.inputs.should_submit }}
run: eas submit -p ${{ github.event.inputs.platform }} --profile ${{ github.event.inputs.profile }} --path app-build

Can you please let me know this step will upload the generated build to EAS cloud or App Store ?

because I want to upload the builds to EAS and share it to our team testers for testing. once all the testing completed I will submit the builds to App Store/ play store from EAS

It will submit to the app stores via EAS

Hi, getting an error on the android build.
Android Gradle plugin requires Java 17 to run. You are currently using Java 11.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Soyoka • Jul 21 '24

just add

this line after the yarn install

- name: Setup Java 17 uses: actions/setup-java@v3 with: distribution: 'temurin' java-version: '17'

I keep getting base64: invalid input what could be the problem?

Omar Elwakeel • Aug 21 '24

Never mind, I figured it out, for multi line base64 input it's prefered to use the following echo $GOOGLE_SERVICES_JSON_BASE64 | base64 -di >./google-services.json, not di instead of --decode or d
