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 14.0b3 build using the fennec mozilla-aurora config files, then a new build or respin (depending on code changes) of the 13.0b2 build# android-xul build for tablets. Both will go to the market.

L10N changesets
- 14.0b3 will get Aurora changesets from this dashboard link. This link will change over time, so won't be useful for verifying later, but isn't dependent on a milestone being created per beta.
- 13.0b2 build3 spin2 will have an empty l10n-changesets_mobile-beta.json

Android Signing
I started this before the repacks kicked off. Removed the android dir on stage; reran after repacks. No problems.
# cltsign@signing1 cd signing-work hg --cwd mozharness pull hg --cwd mozharness up -C -r default python26 mozharness/scripts/sign_android.py --cfg signing/android_mozilla-aurora.py --platform android
Reset reserved slaves
Done.
13.0b2 build 3 spin 2
Preparing to start Automation
- Set clobbers for mozilla-beta
- Reserve slave on bm13
- L10n changesets for 13.0b2 build3 spin2 will remain empty {}
- Verify that nothing has changed in 13.0b2 land since the previous spin.
IF NO CODE HAS CHANGED
No code has changed.
- Created a build3-spin2 directory on stage, and softlink the build3 to it.
- Hit "rebuild" on the latest release-mozilla-beta-android-xul_build.
- This will upload into the build3-spin2 directory instead of overwriting the previous build.

Release Day
Publish Fennec to the Play Store (for beta releases and release releases)
Push the files (for beta releases and release releases)

Play Store (for beta releases and release releases)
IMPORTANT - Make sure to follow instructions!
The 14.0b# build *must* be uploaded before the 13.0b2 build!
- download 14.0b# and 13.0b2 multi apk (e.g. [1] and [2])
- visit https://market.android.com/publish
- choose "Firefox Beta" or "Firefox"
- select the "APK Files" tab and choose "Upload APK"
- choose the 14.0b# 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 the versionCode is the build date (almost anyway, the market reports an hour later than our buildID)
- hit "Save"
- choose the 14.0b# multi apk that you downloaded and hit "upload"
- Repeat with the 13.0b2 multi apk
- when it finishes uploading, verify the versionCode is larger than the 14.0b# versionCode.
- activate new 14.0b# 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/
- and hit "Save"
