Android Builds

Build an APK for direct installation or an Android App Bundle for store distribution:

ruflet build apk
ruflet build aab

ruflet build android is an alias for the APK build.

Add --self when the Ruby project should be packaged with the client:

ruflet build android --self

Server-driven builds require app.backend_url in ruflet.yaml.

Permissions

Declare protected device access in services.yaml before building:

services:
  - camera:
      description: Allows users to capture photos.
  - location:
      description: Shows nearby locations.

Ruflet adds the corresponding Android permissions during client preparation.

Install

ruflet devices
ruflet install
ruflet install --device DEVICE_ID

Store signing, release keys, versioning, and Play Console submission remain standard Android release responsibilities.
