How do I access secrets in build.gradle?

[distinctdan]

I need to access secrets in my app build.gradle, but I'm not seeing any documentation on how to do it. Specifically, I want to default my signing keystore to use an environment variable if present for github actions, but then fallback to using a local secrets file. It seems like this would probably be supported, is there a way to do this?

I'm trying this, but this doesn't work:

    signingConfigs {
        release {
            storePassword System.getenv("MY_RELEASE_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD") ?: project.findProperty('MyReleaseKeystorePassword')
        }
    }

I am not part of this project. We had the exact same issue. It is not officially supported by this plugin. The plugin appears to be very simple and does not give you the controls that OP is asking. We are getting rid of this plugin and just use custom gradle scripts instead as it gives you finer controls on how to configure your build.
