Emerge upload action

Warning

This action is deprecated and no longer maintained.
For Android, use the Emerge Gradle plugin instead.
For iOS, we strongly recommend you use the Emerge Fastlane plugin if you don't have an existing CI setup or already use fastlane.
Note: when using the Fastlane or Gradle plugins, the GitHub action is unnecessary, as all upload functionality is built into the respective integrations.

Action to upload your build directly to Emerge for analysis.

Usage

The Emerge upload action should be run on any event that should trigger a size analysis. Examples of this are:

  • When pushing to specific branches (main/release).
  • On any PR to the main branch.

See action.yml for all inputs and descriptions.

Create Emerge API key and add to secrets

First, create an Emerge API key. You can create one from your Emerge profile page.

Create Emerge API Key

Add the API key to your secrets in your repository. Do not leave this key in plain text in your workflow!

Incorporate in your workflow

Build your artifact in a step before the Emerge upload action. Pass the generated artifact's path as the artifact_path argument, and your Emerge API key secret as the emerge_api_key argument:

name: Your workflow

on:
  push:
    branches: [main]
  pull_request:
    branches: [main]

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Generate iOS archive build
        run: # generate release build, e.g. with xcodebuild
      - name: Upload artifact to Emerge
        uses: EmergeTools/[email protected]
        with:
          artifact_path: path/to/app-release.xcarchive.zip
          emerge_api_key: ${{ secrets.EMERGE_API_KEY }}
          build_type: release # Optional, change if your workflow builds a specific type
          app_id_suffix: snapshots # Optional, change if needed, see https://docs.emergetools.com/docs/integrate-into-ci#which-builds-should-be-uploaded

After uploading, Emerge will run analysis on the uploaded build. If you haven't, set up Github comments by following our Github documentation.

For more details about the upload process and Emerge's supported artifact types, see the Emerge Uploading docs.
