Test Version Creation

Automates creation of test version branches with hardcoded build configurations for testing app upgrade functionality and version migration flows.

Quick Reference

Version Pattern

Test versions follow the pattern: 9XXX.YY.Z

• 9XXX - Test version indicator (e.g., 9005)
• YY.Z - Matches production version being tested

Example: 9005.20.0 for testing production 5.20.0

Build Number Formula

Build number is calculated as:

DATE=$(date +%Y%m%d)
BUILD_NUMBER=$((${DATE}00 + 30))

Format: 10 digits = YYYYMMDD00 + 30

Example: If today is 20260130, build number is 2026013030

Workflow

Step 1: Get Version Information

Ask user for test version number:

• Format: 9XXX.YY.Z
• Example: 9005.20.0

Step 2: Calculate Build Number

DATE=$(date +%Y%m%d)
BUILD_NUMBER=$((${DATE}00 + 30))
echo "Build number: $BUILD_NUMBER"

Step 3: Create Branch

git checkout -b <test_version>
# Example: git checkout -b 9005.20.0

Step 4: Modify Configuration Files

Update these files in order:

1. .env.version

   • Set VERSION to test version

2. .github/actions/shared-env/action.yml

   • Update version in outputs section

3. .github/workflows/release-android.yml

   • Hardcode BUILD_NUMBER in "Write .env.version" step

4. .github/workflows/release-ios.yml

   • Hardcode BUILD_NUMBER in "Write .env.version" step

5. .github/workflows/daily-build.yml

   • Hardcode BUILD_NUMBER in "Setup ENV" step

6. apps/mobile/android/app/build.gradle

   • Update versionCode
   • Update versionName

Step 5: Commit and Push

git add .
git commit -m "chore: create test version <version>"
git push origin <test_version>

Files to Modify

File	What to Update
.env.version	VERSION
.github/actions/shared-env/action.yml	Hardcode BUILD_NUMBER, remove conditionals
.github/workflows/release-android.yml	Hardcode BUILD_NUMBER in .env.version write
.github/workflows/release-ios.yml	Hardcode BUILD_NUMBER in .env.version write
.github/workflows/daily-build.yml	Hardcode BUILD_NUMBER in Setup ENV step
apps/mobile/android/app/build.gradle	versionCode, versionName
