GitHub Actions Integration. TestApp.io Setup

GitHub Actions makes it easy to automate all your software workflows with world-class CI/CD. Build, test, and deploy your code right from GitHub.

Adding our GitHub Action to your repo will automatically upload the APK or IPA to TestApp.io and notify your testers.

TestApp.io GitHub Action for Linux and macOS

This action uploads artifacts (.apk or .ipa) to TestApp.io and notifies your team members.

- name: TestApp.io App Distribution
  uses: testappio/github-action@v5

Use @v5. It installs the latest ta-cli on every run. @v3 and @v4 always install an old version of ta-cli and miss recent upload fixes, so update the tag if your workflow still uses one of them.

Get it from GitHub Actions Marketplace

Requirements

This action will execute on runners with Ubuntu & macOS operating systems.

Upload time limit

ta-cli stops an upload that takes longer than 2 hours. For very large files on a slow connection, set TESTAPPIO_UPLOAD_TIMEOUT on the step, for example 3h. 0 turns the limit off. See Upload time limit in the ta-cli guide.

      - name: Upload to TestApp.io
        uses: testappio/github-action@v5
        env:
          TESTAPPIO_UPLOAD_TIMEOUT: 3h
        with:
          api_token: ${{ secrets.TESTAPPIO_API_TOKEN }}
          app_id: ${{ secrets.TESTAPPIO_APP_ID }}
          file: app/build/outputs/apk/release/app-release.apk

Sample Usage for Android

        with:
          api_token: ${{ secrets.TESTAPPIO_API_TOKEN }}
