Release a new version

• Checkout the main branch git checkout main
• Sync the repo with origin git pull
• Update the version file version.properties with the new version
• Add the version file to the commit git add version.properties
• Commit the version update git commit -m "Releasing version <x.y.z>", e.g. "Releasing version 1.2.3"
• Push the commit git push
• Tag the commit git tag v<x.y.z>, e.g. "v1.2.3"
• Push the tag git push origin v<x.y.z>
• The new version will now be built by the CI and the signed bundle will be available as a build artefact for the tag
• Upload the bundle to the play console

Building

There are two possible ways to build this project. Either it can be opened using android studio or using gradle by manually installing the required build tools.

Mapbox download key

As described here it is required to configure a mapbox download key to be able to compile the project with mapbox android SDK. The simplest way to achieve this is to put it into the .gradle/gradle.properties file of your home folder.
