Google Play Store Publishing - No artifacts were found

[JohannesA1988]

If you are looking for help, please confirm the following...

• I confirm I have searched the Docs, Codemagic Sample Projects, and GitHub Discussions.
• I confirm the software versions on my local computer match the ones in CI environment (e.g. Xcode version, Gradle version). See here
• I confirm I am able to do a fresh clone of the repository and build the project on my local computer.

Which mobile framework are you using?

Android (Kotlin)

Steps to reproduce

Build Android App with this script:
scripts:
- name: Build Android release
working_directory: myapp
script: |
LATEST_GOOGLE_PLAY_BUILD_NUMBER=$(google-play get-latest-build-number --package-name "$PACKAGE_NAME")
if [ -z $LATEST_GOOGLE_PLAY_BUILD_NUMBER ]; then
# fallback in case no build number was found from google play. Alternatively, you can exit 1 to fail the build
UPDATED_BUILD_NUMBER=$BUILD_NUMBER
else
UPDATED_BUILD_NUMBER=$(($LATEST_GOOGLE_PLAY_BUILD_NUMBER + 1))
fi
./gradlew bundleRelease -PversionCode=$UPDATED_BUILD_NUMBER -PversionName=1.0.$UPDATED_BUILD_NUMBER
artifacts:
- app/build/outputs/**/*.aab
publishing:
google_play:
credentials: $GCLOUD_KEY_FILE
track: internal
submit_as_draft: true

I followed these guides:
https://docs.codemagic.io/yaml-quick-start/building-a-native-android-app/
https://docs.codemagic.io/yaml-publishing/google-play/

In addition I found that I need to do a first manuell upload. I have done this successfully, including test distribution.

Expected results

Release should be published to Google Play.

Actual results

== Gathering artifacts ==

hello @JohannesA1988, looks like you are missing some steps before building a release. You first need to Set Android SDK location and install dependencies

 - name: Install npm dependencies
    script: |
          npm install
- name: Set Android SDK location
   script: | 
          echo "sdk.dir=$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT" > "$CM_BUILD_DIR/android/local.properties"

if you are building a native android app, you can check our example workflow and follow along

Hi @dtrdic, thanks for the fast answer. My app is a native Android App (Kotlin) build with gradle. I checked the corresponding example and here is the build step the same like mine: https://github.com/codemagic-ci-cd/codemagic-sample-projects/blob/main/kotlin-multiplatform-mobile/codemagic.yaml

But I also tried your approach with npm install and I receive this error:
`
npm ERR! code ENOENT
npm ERR! syscall open
npm ERR! path /Users/builder/clone/package.json
npm ERR! errno -2
npm ERR! enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Users/builder/clone/package.json'
npm ERR! enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file.
npm ERR! enoent

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR! /Users/builder/.npm/_logs/2023-08-28T12_19_02_358Z-debug-0.log

Build failed :|
Step 3 script Install npm dependencies exited with status code 254`

[dtrdic]

oh in that case, try rather with this example.
The install npm dependencies step is not required, but setting Android SDK location it is.

You can check also this step by step guide
