Can you please provide an example for the variable in upload_url: ${{ steps.create_release.outputs.upload_url }} ? Is this uploading to android console, or what?

I'm wondering why you release your app with a debug apk? Even without signing the apk ?

This is not a production-ready example ;) It's used in a programming class to show how Github Actions can be used for Continuous Intergration pipelines, not how Android apps should properly be signed and shipped.

where should I download the APK built by the work flow created in my project?

At the bottom of the workflow summary page, there is a dedicated section for artifacts.

I'm not sure where the apk will appear after gradle build, how can i find it ? In which build.gradle?

Thanks so much! This helped me understand Github actions better. Just a note, on line 40 be sure the path points to your own app module. Had to change the path since my app module was not named 'app'.
