Android builds

An Android app trusts only the system's certificates unless its build says otherwise. danwo's proxy has its own certificate, created for each run. danwo build-android builds your Expo app so it trusts it.

Build itCopy Anchor Link

npx @danwo/cli build-android app

app is the folder of your Expo project. danwo:

1. runs expo prebuild;
2. adds a network security config that also trusts user-installed certificates, where danwo puts each run's;
3. runs gradlew assembleRelease with DANWO=1, using Android Studio's JDK when JAVA_HOME is unset.

The JavaScript is bundled into the APK, so no Metro server runs during tests. Gradle runs with --no-daemon and compiles Kotlin in its own process, so the build leaves no Gradle or Kotlin daemon running.

Reuse itCopy Anchor Link

The APK is kept under <project>/.danwo/builds/, keyed by a hash of the app's sources. An unchanged app isn't built again. Force a rebuild with --force.

Build it from the configCopy Anchor Link

buildAndroid from @danwo/expo does the same inside your environment, so a test run always has a current build:

import { buildAndroid } from "@danwo/expo"

export async function currentApk(): Promise<string> {
  const build = await buildAndroid({ project: "app" })

  return build.apk
}
