Guide to compile a kivy app into apk using github

README.md

Follow these steps to compile your kivy application to an APK on GitHub (No linux needed).

Note: This method is only recommended if you don't have access to a linux or mac system

1. Create an github account if you don't have.

2. Create a repository, you could also create it as private.

3. Goto your project directory (where main.py exists) and create a file in .github/workflows/build.yml (Create the folders if not already existed).

4. Copy the workflow snippet (build.yml see below) and paste it in build.yml.

5. Create buildozer.spec file by buildozer init or use this file (Make sure to rename default.spec to buildozer.spec).

6. Make some tweaks in buildozer.spec like adding permissions or requirements, changing app name... (if needed).

7. Push the files to github.

8. Wait until the build finishes (takes ~15min).

9. The output will be an zip archive, so you need to unzip it to get your apk file.

You don't need to repeat these all steps to produce new apk (with some changes) of the same project, just follow from step 6.
