Conversation
The Firebase action falls back to git log -1 --pretty=short when no release notes are given, so every entry in the release list showed only the commit hash. Both jobs now write the commit subject, the full commit sha and a link back to the build, and pass the file to the action.
The v7 branch it triggers on no longer exists on the remote, and its last run on that branch was in April. develop is on 7.11.0, so v7 is in production, which is the condition the workflow's own comment names for removing it.
The name was 1.<versionCode>.<featureBranchCommitCount>.<sha>. Firebase App Distribution renders the version code next to the name, so the code appeared twice in the same row, and the SDK version did not appear at all. Crashlytics also groups crashes by version name, which made those groups hard to tie back to a release. The name is now the SDK version and the short commit sha, so a row reads 7.11.0-eef655d (18217). The version code still comes from the git versioner and does not change.

The version code came from the git versioner, which counts commits on the base branch. app-distribute.yml runs on both develop and main, and those counts diverge: develop is at 18217 while main is at 18200. A tester on a develop build could not install a main build, because Android rejects a lower version code. The workflows now pass a version code based on build time, which grows whatever branch the build came from, and the short commit sha. That left the git versioner with nothing to do, so the plugin, its JitPack repository entry and the resolution hack are gone, along with the full clone it needed. apk-s3-distribute.yml and attach-release-apk.yml also build sample release APKs and relied on the plugin, so they pass the same values. Without that they would have dropped to version code 1.
Distribution was the last thing still pointing at the old project. That one was created long ago and is shared with iOS, while stream-android-32afb is Android only and is where we are moving. Both samples already run against 32afb: their google-services.json moved there in May. The app ids are the ones in each sample's google-services.json, so they are named here rather than kept in secrets. FIREBASE_UI_SAMPLE_APP_ID and FIREBASE_COMPOSE_SAMPLE_APP_ID are now unused and can be deleted.

- Around line 19-28: Update the build_identity step’s version_code calculation
to use a unique, monotonically increasing workflow-run value such as
github.run_number, offset by a baseline greater than every already-published
version code. Remove the minute-based timestamp calculation and ensure the value
remains collision-free across executions while preserving the existing sha
output.
In @.github/workflows/app-distribute.yml:
- Around line 18-27: Update the “Resolve build identity” step to use a
workflow-wide, monotonically increasing build number for the APK versionCode
instead of UTC-minute calculation. Ensure concurrent executions cannot receive
the same value, and persist allocation so published reruns receive a new greater
value; keep the existing sha output unchanged.
In `@scripts/sample-app-versioner.gradle`:
- Around line 11-12: Add regression tests for the version-property contract
exercised by the sample app versioning script: verify supplied properties
produce an Int sampleAppVersionCode and a sampleAppVersionName containing the
build SHA, while absent properties use the defaults and omit the SHA. Cover the
script’s sampleAppVersionCode, sampleAppVersionName, and sampleAppBuildSha
property paths without changing unrelated behavior.

Goal
Closes AND-1546
Ports the video demo app distribution work (AND-1545,
GetStream/stream-video-android#1839) and cleans up what it exposed here.
The release list in Firebase App Distribution shows only a commit hash for every build, the
version name repeats the version code and leaves out the SDK version, and the version code
goes backwards between
developandmain.Implementation
app-distribute.ymlwrite release notes with the commit subject, the fullcommit sha and a link back to the build. Without them the action falls back to
git log -1 --pretty=short, which is why the list carries only the hash today.<sdkVersion>-<shortSha>instead of1.<versionCode>.<featureBranchCommitCount>.<sha>. Firebase renders the version code nextto the name, so the code was printed twice in the same row while the SDK version was absent
entirely, and Crashlytics groups crashes by version name.
app-distribute.ymlruns on both
developandmain, and the versioner counts commits on the base branch, sodevelop is at 18217 while main is at 18200. A tester on a develop build could not install a
main build. That left the versioner with nothing to do, so the plugin, its JitPack
repository entry, the
settings.gradle.ktsresolution hack and the full clone it neededare all gone.
apk-s3-distribute.ymlandattach-release-apk.ymlalso build sample release APKs andrelied on the versioner, so they pass the same values. Without that they would have dropped
to version code 1.
stream-android-32afbproject, which is Android only. The appids are the ones already in each sample's
google-services.json, so they are named in theworkflow rather than kept in secrets.
FIREBASE_UI_SAMPLE_APP_IDandFIREBASE_COMPOSE_SAMPLE_APP_IDbecome unused and can be deleted.app-distribute-v7.ymlis deleted. Thev7branch it triggers on no longer exists on theremote, its last run on that branch was 2026-04-15, and
developis on7.11.0. That isthe condition the workflow's own comment named for removing it.
A release row goes from
1.18217.0.eef655d (18217)to7.11.0-eef655d (3160832).The version name is also shown on screen in the UI components sample (
HomeFragment), sothat label changes with it.
Testing
Read the version values out of the packaged manifest of
:stream-chat-android-compose-sample:processDemoReleaseManifestForPackage:7.11.0-b71f48c7.11.0Checked both Firebase app ids against each sample's
google-services.jsonand theapplicationIdin its build file. The demo/release variants carry no application ID suffix,so these are the right ids:
build_ui_components_sample_appio.getstream.chat.ui.sample1:17048947178:android:1357755d7b622cbc40ca93build_compose_sample_appio.getstream.chat.android.compose.sample1:17048947178:android:07dc1e8e56b65c1f40ca93Also ran
./gradlew spotlessCheck apiCheckand./gradlew detekt, both green, and checkedthat no reference to the versioner or to the two old app id secrets remains. No unit test
run: this changes Gradle scripts and CI workflows, no production code.
The workflows themselves can only be verified after merge, when the push to
developrunsthem.
Before merging
Builds stop arriving in the old Firebase project once this lands, so the
stream-testersgroup in
stream-android-32afbhas to hold the people who should keep receiving chat builds.Summary by CodeRabbit
