Android CI Build as Artifact

Question

Hello,

I am trying to build my android project through the bitbucket pipeline and use this built APK as an artifact inside another step to run my UI Automation tests on. Can anyone please inform me of the normal process or any useful documentation.

Thank you.

Glad to know you're able to find the Artifacts directory in the next step.

Thank you @Mark C for your reply!
My previous issue was with the directory of where the Artifacts are saved. With a lot of debugging and testing, I was able to find the Artifacts directory in the next step.

Hi @tarek_o

Thank you for reaching out to the community.

I believe that's already the normal process on how you can pass the built APK in another step on Pipelines using Artifacts.
In this process, you can also use multi-steps to pass your built artifact from one step to another:
Sample multi-steps:

pipelines:
default:
    - step:
        name: Build
        script:
          - #Your commands here
        artifacts:
          - app/build/outputs/**
    - step:
        name: UI Test
        script:
          - #Your commands here

Hope it helps and let me know if you have further questions.
