In this video, we move beyond a basic Android CI/CD demo and look at how to structure CI pipelines the way real Android teams actually use them. The focus here is on separating responsibilities instead of using one script for everything. You will see why a pull request check should only validate code quality and build health, while a main branch build can generate artifacts for testing, and a release pipeline should handle signing separately and only when triggered intentionally. This video covers: how PR checks should run lint, unit tests, and debug builds without signing or uploading artifacts why generating signed builds during PR creation or merge does not make sense how a main branch pipeline can verify merged code and upload APKs for testing why release signing should live in a separate workflow how manual workflow dispatch helps prevent accidental generation of signed production APKs the practical difference between PR check, main build, and release build pipelines in Android CI/CD If you are building Android apps with GitHub Actions or designing a cleaner CI/CD setup for your team, this video will help you understand how to split pipelines based on purpose and trigger conditions. In the next video, the series moves deeper into Android app signing and what happens before final upload and release. #Android #AndroidDevelopment #CICD #AndroidCICD #GitHubActions #DevOps #MobileDevOps #AndroidBuild #PullRequest #ContinuousIntegration #ContinuousDelivery #UnitTesting #Lint #APK #AppSigning #SoftwareEngineering 00:00:00 - Why One CI/CD Script Is Not Enough 00:03:28 - PR Check Pipeline for Lint, Tests, and Debug Builds 00:05:16 - Main Branch Build After Merge and Artifact Uploads 00:07:44 - Release Build for Signing and Production APKs 00:09:01 - Why Signed Builds Should Be Manually Triggered 00:09:54 - Video Wrap-Up and Next Steps Follow me on X: https://x.com/anilvdeshpande Official WebSite: https://codetutorhub.dev/ GitHub Link to demo: https://github.com/AnilDeshpande/VarientDemoApplication
