Overview of this book

Continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) are ubiquitous concepts in modern development. Azure Pipelines is one of the most popular services that you can utilize for CI/CD, and this book shows you how it works by taking you through the process of building and automating CI/CD systems using Azure Pipelines and YAML, simplifying integration with Azure resources and reducing human error. You’ll begin by getting an overview of Azure Pipelines and why you should use it. Next, the book helps you get to grips with build and release pipelines, and then builds upon this by introducing the extensive power of YAML syntax, which you can use to implement and configure any task you can think of. As you advance, you’ll discover how to integrate Infrastructure as Code tools, such as Terraform, and perform code analysis with SonarQube. In the concluding chapters, you’ll delve into real-life scenarios and hands-on implementation tasks with Microsoft Azure services, AWS, and cross-mobile application with Flutter, Google Firebase, and more. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to design and build CI/CD systems using Azure Pipelines with consummate ease, write code using YAML, and configure any task that comes to mind.

Implementing a Google Play Console for Flutter

You can create an Azure pipeline when you need to upload your application to the Google Play Store, which is a marketplace for Android applications that allows all Android users to download applications. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Create a pipeline file called azure-pipeline-for-google-play-store.yml and paste the following code snippets:
    • The first part of the YAML file is for preparing all variables that will use the entirety of this Azure pipeline. It also declares the operating system for building this file, which is Ubuntu:
      trigger: none
      pool:
        vmImage: "ubuntu-latest"
      variables:
        - group: secrets
        - name: androidReleaseDir
          value: $(build.artifactStagingDirectory)/flutter/hello_world/build/app/outputs/bundle/release
        - name: aabFile
          value: $(androidReleaseDir)/app-release.aab
    • This task is for downloading the keystore file...
