publish-app

Create an edit, upload an APK, and commit in one step.

When to use

Use when you only need to publish a new APK with no listing or screenshot changes. This is the fastest path. For full control (update listing, add screenshots, validate first), use the individual commands in sequence.

Parameters

Name	Required	Description
app_id	yes	The application ID
file	yes	Path to the APK file

Preconditions

• Auth configured (xingu auth login completed)
• The APK file must exist and be a valid Android package
• No active edit should already exist (this command creates one)

Command

xingu +publish <app_id> --file <path_to_apk>

Interpreting the result

• Response includes edit details, APK upload result, and commit confirmation.
• The app is now submitted for Amazon review (1-3 business days).

Error handling

• Auth error (exit 2): Run xingu auth login and retry.
• Edit already exists: Run xingu edits delete <app_id> <edit_id> first, or use the step-by-step flow.
• Upload failed: Check file path, ensure APK is valid and under 2GB.
• Commit failed: The command auto-rolls back (deletes the edit). Check validation errors.
• Rollback failed: The dangling edit_id is printed. Delete manually: xingu edits delete <app_id> <edit_id>.

Notes

• Use --dry-run to preview API calls without executing.
• The APK version code must be higher than the currently live version.
