How to Add the Appcircle Enterprise App Store Action to Your Pipeline​

To use the Appcircle Enterprise App Store action, add the following step to your pipeline at the end:

- name: Publish App to Appcircle Enterprise App Store
  id: store-publish-to-appcircle
  uses: appcircleio/appcircle-enterprise-app-store-githubaction
  with:
    personalAPIToken: ${{ secrets.AC_PERSONAL_API_TOKEN }}
    appPath: APP_PATH
    summary: SUMMARY
    releaseNotes: RELEASE_NOTES
    publishType: PUBLISH_TYPE # "0": None, "1": Beta, "2": Live
  • personalAPIToken: The Appcircle Personal API token is utilized to authenticate and secure access to Appcircle services, ensuring that only authorized users can perform actions within the platform.
  • appPath: Indicates the file path to the application package that will be uploaded to Appcircle Testing Distribution Profile.
  • releaseNotes: Contains the details of changes, updates, and improvements made in the current version of the app being published.
  • summary: Used to provide a brief overview of the version of the app that is about to be published.
  • publishType: Specifies the publishing status as either none, beta, or live, and must be assigned the values "0", "1", or "2" accordingly.

Leveraging Environment Variables​

Utilize environment variables seamlessly by substituting the parameters with secrets.NAME in your task inputs. The action automatically retrieves values from the specified environment variables within your pipeline.

Build Steps Order

Ensure that this action is added after build steps have been completed.

caution

If two workflows start simultaneously, the last workflow to reach the publish step will be the up-to-date version on the Enterprise App Store. If these workflows building the same package version, the first publish will be successful, while later deployments with the same version will fail.
