Notes About Releasing

Please update the Aurora Notes Template and the Release:Primer for future releases (bug fixes, changes to automation) as needed.

You will need to build a 14.0bX build using the fennec mozilla-aurora config files, then a respin of the 13.0b2 build2 android-xul build for tablets. Both will go to the market.

  • 13.0b2 build# spin# will have an empty l10n-changesets_mobile-beta.json

IMPORTANT - Make sure to follow instructions!

The 14.0b2 build *must* be uploaded before the 13.0b2 build!

  • visit https://market.android.com/publish

  • select the "APK Files" tab and choose "Upload APK"
    • choose the 14.0b2 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"
  • Repeat with the 13.0b2 multi apk
  • activate new 14.0b2 and 13.0b2 apks (You should see an Error message since both apk's are active)
  • deactivate old apks (You should not see the Error message anymore)
  • 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/
