Fails to find apk even though it's verified to be there

[movaid7]

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?

Flutter (Dart)

Steps to reproduce

1. Setup build step with Shorebird to produce an APK file output
   shorebird release android --artifact=apk --force
2. Setup publishing to Firebase App Distribution with artifact_type of apk

publishing:
  firebase:
    # authenticate via service account
    firebase_service_account: $FIREBASE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT
    android:
      app_id: {my_app_id}
      groups:
        - Alpha
      artifact_type: "apk"

Expected results

I've added a script that runs after the Shorebird build command to verify that the apk app-release.apk was created in the release folder:

Command

echo "🔍 Checking APK directory contents..."
ls build/app/outputs/apk/release/

Output

🔍 Checking APK directory contents...
app-release.apk
output-metadata.json

Since the APK (app-release.apk) is clearly present in the release folder, the subsequent publishing step should find this APK and push it to Firebase App Distribution as a new release.

Publishing Config

publishing:
  firebase:
    # authenticate via service account
    firebase_service_account: $FIREBASE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT
    android:
      app_id: {my_app_id}
      groups:
        - Alpha
      artifact_type: "apk"

Actual results

• Shorebird build completes successfully
• APK is verified to be present in the release folder
• Yet, the publishing step fails stating that no artifacts were found

Publishing Output

== Gathering artifacts ==
No artifacts were found

hey @movaid7, i think you are missing a section in your yaml file where you specify what files or outputs should be saved

        artifacts:
          - build/**/outputs/**/*.apk
        publishing:
          firebase:
              firebase_service_account: $FIREBASE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT
              android:
                app_id: 1:xxx:android:xxx

like this you define the artifacts that should be collected and saved after the build process is completed

Ahh apologies, I thought I might have missed something like that.
Giving it a try now, thanks!
