Introduction

This repository contains an Azure DevOps Task and a GitHub Workflow Action. See below usage examples to start using this in your CI.

These are the minimal checks we run on our own PRs for SwiftKey, however we're happy to accept contributions. See contributing section below if you would like to expand this action's features.

Usage examples

  • In a Azure DevOps Pipeline

     - task: android-app-size-diff@1
       inputs:
         baseAppPath: test/assets/test.apk
         targetAppPath: test/assets/test.apk
         summaryOutputPath: summary.md
       displayName: Run APK size comparision
  • In a GitHub Workflow

      - uses: microsoft/android-app-size-diff@v1
