Unable to send apk to telegram group. A text message received instead

[YajanaRao]

I have configured to upload apk after build in github actions. I get text instead of file

This is what I get

This is the log

while sending document you need to send absolute path not relative path
document: ${{ github.workspace }}/app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk

I am saving my apk in github workspace

I am saving my apk in github workspace

It sends the link to the apk right ?. I was wondering is there a possibility of sending apk file itself ?

[hkpanchani]

No it sends the apk itself
Let me show you my code

`jobs:
build:
name: Generate APK
runs-on: ubuntu-latest

steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: set up JDK 1.8
  uses: actions/setup-java@v1
  with:
    java-version: 1.8
- name: Build Debug APK
  run: bash ./gradlew :app:assembleDebug

- name: Upload APK
  uses: actions/upload-artifact@v2
  with:
    name: App
    path: ${{ github.workspace }}/app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk

- name: send custom message
  uses: appleboy/telegram-action@master
  with:
    to: ${{ secrets.MESSAGEID }}
    token: ${{ secrets.BOTTOKEN }}
    message: |
      Below is the apk for commit: ${{ github.event.head_commit.message }}
    document: ${{ github.workspace }}/app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk`

im also facing this issue

[davidC1991]

i have the same problem. maybe because my apk file is 200 Mb Size, by telegram api documentation , bots just suppot until 50 Mb

[markusressel]

Facing the same issue when using curl to upload an APK, if the file exceeds a certain limit (looks like its 50 MB) the file is not uploaded.

Looks like it is possible to work around this by hosting your own bot api server:
