You don't need to put the APK into the repository itself. If you're using Bitbucket Pipelines, the usual approach is to generate the APK during the build and declare the output directory as a Pipeline artifact.

For example, after your Gradle build:

script:
  - ./gradlew assembleDebug
artifacts:
  - app/build/outputs/apk/**

After the pipeline finishes, open that pipeline's result and go to the Artifacts section. The generated APK should be available there for download. Bitbucket specifically supports keeping build outputs as artifacts, including Android APKs.

If you need the APK to be stored for longer or want users/systems to download it from a permanent URL, then S3 makes sense. In that case, upload the generated APK to S3 as a separate deployment step rather than uploading your source code.

So the flow is basically:

Git push → Pipeline builds APK → APK saved as artifact → optionally upload APK to S3

Also make sure the artifact path matches the actual location of your APK. For a standard Android Gradle project, app/build/outputs/apk/ is the common location.

Enable Bitbucket Pipelines in your repository settings and add a bitbucket pipelines yml file that runs the Gradle build command to generate the APK. Use the artifacts option so the APK can be downloaded from the Pipelines page after the build. If you want to store it in S3 install AWS CLI in the pipeline use AWS keys as repository variables and run a command to upload the APK to your S3 bucket. After the build you can download it from Pipelines or get it directly from S3.

Hi Abhishek, welcome to the Community.

Can you clarify what you're trying to achieve? Are you talking about Bitbucket Server or Cloud? What is your goal?

Kind regards,

Ana
