Does the HockeyApp Jenkins plug-in work for Android?

Question

I'd like to be able to upload my Android application binaries from Jenkins to HockeyApp automatically, but I'm not clear on if this is possible.

I see there's a published Jenkins plug-in:
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/HockeyApp+Plugin

Just not sure if it works for Android. It looks like the API specifically calls for an "ipa", however, on Hockeyapp's site, they say you can stick a .apk in there. Anybody tried this?

Answer 1

Yes, it works.

The HockeyApp API accepts either a .apk or .ipa file in the ipa parameter, which the Jenkins plugin uses. Furthermore, the dsym parameter accepts dSYM symbols from iOS, or a ProGuard mapping.txt file for Android.

As of plugin version 1.0.4, the UI and documentation has been updated to clarify that iOS, Mac OS X and Android apps are all supported via the same plugin.
