So for background, I’m an IT Consultant, and mostly work in the development space, but one area I’ve never touched before has been mobile app development. So today, I spent the day getting a new GitHub repo sorted out, put together a pretty simple Actions workflow with SonarQube integration and basic test gates… on that note, got a new VPS up and running and deployed SonarQube there. Then finally just got my first Gradle project running on Android Studio, and after dealing with a corrupted keystore (fixed by just nuking the keystore, cleaning the project and rebuilding), I finally got technically my first Android app running on my S25 😄😄


Man. Google play. What a pain in the ass. 15 testers? Do I have 15 friends? And do they all have androids?
Haha no
