Packer Ng Plugin

This project is an Android Gradle build plugin designed to automate the creation of multiple channel-specific application packages from a single build process. It functions as an APK variant generator that injects unique distribution identifiers into application packages to track installation sources across different app stores.

The tool manages the entire distribution lifecycle, from defining target channels via external configuration to generating the corresponding package variants. It uses template-based artifact naming with dynamic placeholders to organize output files and includes a system for uploading signed binaries and metadata to remote Maven repositories via release and snapshot endpoints.

The plugin handles post-build package transformations to embed distribution markers without requiring a full recompilation. It further provides capabilities for runtime channel identification to trigger environment-specific behavior, as well as validation utilities to verify that the correct channel tags were embedded during the build.

Features

  • Channel Package Generation - Generates multiple versions of Android packages specifically for distribution channel differentiation.
  • Android Build Automation - Automates the Android build pipeline for generating and naming artifacts using dynamic templates.
  • Gradle Build Systems - Implements a Gradle-based build system to automate the generation of multiple application package variants.
  • Android Gradle Distribution Plugins - Provides a Gradle build plugin to automate the creation of multiple channel-specific application packages from a single process.
  • APK Distribution Automators - Automates the generation of APK variants by injecting unique distribution identifiers for different app stores.
  • Channel Definitions - Defines target distribution channels through inline lists or external files to determine which variants to create.
  • Channel Identifier Injection - Embeds unique distribution channel identifiers into signed application packages to differentiate installation sources.
  • Android App Distribution - Manages the creation of multiple application package versions with unique channel identifiers for app store distribution.
  • Installation Source Tracking - Embeds and retrieves distribution source identifiers from application packages to track where a user installed the app.
  • Maven Artifact Publishing - Publishes signed binaries and metadata to remote Maven repositories using release and snapshot endpoints.
  • Bytecode Transformers - Modifies compiled application files after the build to embed metadata without requiring a full recompilation.
  • Build Artifact Transformation - Transforms build artifacts by modifying compiled files to embed metadata post-build.
  • Runtime Extractions - Provides a mechanism to extract injected channel identifiers during execution to trigger environment-specific application behavior.

    Walle is a tooling system for automating the injection of distribution channel identifiers and metadata into signed Android application binaries. It functions as a command-line utility and build pipeline extension that reads and writes custom metadata directly into the Android application signing block. The tool specifically modifies the Android Signature V2 block to embed channel identifiers and key-value pairs without re-signing the binary. This approach enables the generation of multiple channel-specific application packages without requiring a full binary rebuild or repeated signing opera

    This project is a suite of tools for scraping remote assets, applying binary modifications, and orchestrating the distribution of patched Android applications. It functions as an automated build pipeline that fetches remote assets and compiles patched binaries into installable packages. The system includes a specialized remote asset downloader designed to fetch application files and version metadata from remote servers while bypassing bot protections. It also operates as an Android app distribution system that uploads modified binaries to a repository and sends update notifications via Telegr

    gradle-retrolambda is a Gradle plugin and bytecode transformer designed to enable the use of modern Java lambda expressions in legacy Java and Android runtime environments. It functions as a backporting tool that ensures modern functional programming syntax remains compatible with older virtual machines. The project transforms compiled class files to make them compatible with Java 6 and 7 environments. This allows for the use of modern Java features in projects that must maintain backward compatibility with older API levels and legacy Android devices. The tool integrates into the Gradle buil

    This repository provides a collection of example configurations demonstrating how to define project build logic and dependencies using the Kotlin domain-specific language. It serves as a reference for implementing build automation within the Gradle ecosystem, focusing on the transition from traditional scripting to a type-safe, expressive approach for managing software lifecycles. The samples illustrate how to leverage the Kotlin compiler to validate build scripts during development, enabling features such as IDE autocompletion and early error detection. By utilizing this approach, developers
