Build Engineers

{aki} - Tracking bug: bug 758787

Signed-off Revision(s)

L10N changesets

  • build 1:
    • Created 14.0b8 milestones
    • Generated the 14.0b8 changesets without hitting "ship it"
    • Saved those as l10n-changesets_mobile-release.json

This is specifically because we're taking the latest off mozilla-beta, without really having clear 14.0 release-off-beta processes.

  • build 2:
    • Copied 14.0b8 build 3 changesets.

Build

Fennec

  • Android: no problems.
  • Android-xul failed because I didn't change the multilocale config for it in mozharness. We're not shipping, so I skipped this.
    • Alex emailed saying we may release this.
    • Landed a patch to fix, re-tagged mozharness manually.
    • Rebuilt android-xul build.

The rebuild had no problems.

Fennec repacks

No problems.

Android Signing

  1. cltsign@signing1
cd signing-work/
hg --cwd mozharness pull
hg --cwd mozharness up -C -r default
python2.6 ~/signing-work/mozharness/scripts/sign_android.py --config-file signing/android_mozilla-release.py --platform android

Later did 

python2.6 ~/signing-work/mozharness/scripts/sign_android.py --config-file signing/android_mozilla-release.py --platform android-xul

to sign the android-xul build.

Going to Beta

NOTE: Skip to "Before Release Day" for beta releases

Release Day

Publish Fennec to the Play Store (for beta releases and release releases)

Push the files (for beta releases and release releases)
Play Store (for beta releases and release releases)

IMPORTANT - Make sure to follow instructions!

  • download both multi apks. These have the same name so save them to separate directories.
  • visit https://market.android.com/publish
  • choose "Firefox Beta" or "Firefox"
  • select the "APK Files" tab and choose "Upload APK"
    • choose the android multi apk that you downloaded and hit "upload"
      • NOTE: the progress bar does not seem to show progress (at least on Google Chrome)
    • when it finishes uploading, verify VersionCode is the build date (almost anyway, the market reports an hour later than our buildID)
    • hit "Save"
  • If you're also uploading XUL Fennec, repeat the same steps for the android-xul multilocale apk
  • activate new android apk (You should see an Error message since both apk's are active)
  • deactivate old android apk (You should not see the Error message anymore). You can identify the two build types by
    • Native Fennec (phones) has Supported screens: small-large
    • XUL Fennec (tablets) has Supported screens: xlarge
  • If you're also activating XUL Fennec, repeat those steps for the android-xul multilocale apk.
  • hit "Save"
  • If this is a beta 1, go to "Product Details" tab -> Recent Changes, change the url to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/mobile/{VERSION}beta/releasenotes/
    • and hit "Save"
