android / Build + lint + test (push) Successful in 4m12s
The APK was shipping with a hardcoded versionName="0.1.0-native"
and versionCode=1 — so the About card never reflected the actual
release, and two same-day re-cuts of the per-day mutable tag
v2026.06.02 looked identical to the update-banner comparator.
Operator wants the iteration restored on the APK side (the docker
tag stays plain per the earlier intentional change).
Scheme:
- Per release: versionName = "${tag}.${commit_count}", e.g.
"2026.06.02.142", where commit_count = `git rev-list --count HEAD`.
Monotonic across the project lifetime, deterministic, no manual
counter to maintain.
- versionCode = commit_count. Monotonic, fits in Int forever (we're
not hitting 2.1B commits).
- Local / debug / dev builds fall back to versionName="dev" /
versionCode=1 so the About card reads honestly.
build.gradle.kts:
- defaultConfig reads MINSTREL_VERSION_NAME / MINSTREL_VERSION_CODE
Gradle properties via project.findProperty with the dev fallbacks.
.gitea/workflows/release.yml:
- android-release: checkout with fetch-depth: 0 (the default shallow
clone would return 1 for `git rev-list --count HEAD`); new
Compute release version step exports name + code as step outputs;
assembleRelease passes them via -P; new job-level outputs propagate
them to the downstream image-release job.
- image-release: Stage bundled APK + version sidecar pulls the
computed version_name from needs.android-release.outputs and
writes it into client/minstrel.apk.version, so the server's
/api/client/version reports the exact string baked into the APK.
Without this the sidecar would say "v2026.06.02" while the
installed APK has "2026.06.02.142" — isVersionNewer would call
the bundled APK older and the update banner would thrash.
The existing isVersionNewer comparator already handles the
4-component shape ("2026.06.02.142" > "2026.06.02.141"), so no
client-side logic changes are needed.
