Examples

Basic

In this example, we are going to use Travis to:

Deploy server to Galaxy
Build an Android app
Distribute app through Hockey

Here are all the finished items:

Getting Started

$ meteor create launch-basic-example
$ meteor add-platform android
$ npm install -g launch
$ launch init

You should now have a working Meteor project with the Android platform added, as well as the launch tool and a launch.json file.

Now let's update your .gitignore file. If you decide to add more launch actions or platforms to this project, make sure to update this again.

node_modules
.build
.keystore
launch.json
deployment_token.json
secrets.tar

Add a mobile-config.js file in your project root with this info.

App.info({
  id: 'cc.newspring.LaunchTodosExample',
  name: 'LaunchTodosExample',
  description: 'Example of using launch',
  author: 'NewSpring Church',
  email: 'web@newspring.cc',
  website: 'https://newspring.cc',
  version: '0.0.1',
  buildNumber: '1'
});

Let's start filling out our variables in the launch.json file. Below is what we will end up with. For information about these variables, and how to obtain them, please see the build, galaxy, and hockey action pages of the docs, but we will also walk through it below.

{
  "APP_IDENTIFIER": "cc.newspring.LaunchBasicExample",
  "ANDROID_KEY": "launch-basic-example",
  "ANDROID_STORE_PASS": "password",
  "ANDROID_HOCKEY_TOKEN": "215d3df4b2ba4090918115207c13d718",
  "ANDROID_HOCKEY_ID": "9c21ad20059c4486baf98fb9ef472a9c",
  "GALAXY_DEPLOY_HOSTNAME": "galaxy.meteor.com",
  "GALAXY_SESSION_FILE": "deployment_token.json"
}

APP_IDENTIFIER can be what you like, but is generally defined in the backwards domain style (com.example.app). Let's generate the ANDROID_KEY and ANDROID_STORE_PASS.

Android

$ keytool -genkey -alias launch-basic-example -keyalg RSA \
    -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

This creates a key named launch-basic-example. You will be prompted to enter a password, and that should be the value of ANDROID_STORE_PASS.

Hockey

If you don't already have a Hockey account, create one and then click "New App" from the dashboard page.

Click "Create the app manually", because we are going to upload using launch! Then, fill out the form and click "Save".

The next page it takes you to has your "App ID" on it, that will be your ANDROID_HOCKEY_ID.

To get the ANDROID_HOCKEY_TOKEN, go to your "Account Settings", then click "API Tokens" in the sidebar, and create a token assigned to your app.

Galaxy

If you don't have a Galaxy account, you will need to create one.

GALAXY_DEPLOY_HOSTNAME will be the region of Galaxy that you wish to deploy to. "galaxy.meteor.com" will be the US East region.

GALAXY_SESSION_FILE is the path to a json file used to authenticate with Galaxy. That can be created like this.

$ METEOR_SESSION_FILE=deployment_token.json meteor login

Run Locally

At this point, you should be able to run launch locally to build the app, deploy to galaxy, and upload to Hockey.

$ launch build launch-basic-example.meteorapp.com
$ launch galaxy launch-basic-example.meteorapp.com
$ launch hockey

Travis

To run this on Travis, first create a .travis.yml file in your project root and add this.

language: node_js
node_js:
- '4'
before_cache:
- rm -f $HOME/.gradle/caches/modules-2/modules-2.lock
cache:
  directories:
  - $HOME/.gradle/caches/
  - $HOME/.gradle/wrapper/
before_install:
- tar xvf secrets.tar
- cp .keystore ~/.keystore
install:
- curl https://install.meteor.com | /bin/sh
- npm install
- npm install -g meteor-launch
- wget https://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r24.4.1-linux.tgz
- tar zxvf android-sdk_r24.4.1-linux.tgz > /dev/null
- mv android-sdk-linux .android
- export ANDROID_HOME="$TRAVIS_BUILD_DIR/.android"
- echo y | .android/tools/android update sdk --no-ui --all --filter tools,platform-tools,build-tools-23.0.3,android-23
- export ANDROID_ZIPALIGN="$TRAVIS_BUILD_DIR/.android/build-tools/23.0.3/zipalign"
- sudo apt-get install lib32z1 libc6-i386 lib32stdc++6 lib32gcc1 lib32ncurses5
script:
- launch galaxy launch-basic-example.meteorapp.com
- launch build launch-basic-example.meteor.com
- launch hockey

This is going to install Meteor, launch, the Android SDK, and a bunch of other stuff.

We need to encrypt the files we need available on the Travis server. We can do this with the Travis CLI tool.

$ gem install travis

Let's copy the .keystore file you generated in your home directory when you created your Android key.

$ cp ~/.keystore ./.keystore

We can encrypt launch.json, .keystore, and deployment_token.json so that we can commit them to our repo.

$ tar cvf secrets.tar launch.json .keystore deployment_token.json
$ travis encrypt-file secrets.tar .travis/secrets.tar.enc --add

This will also add some keys to Travis's environment variables for decryption, and it will add a task to the before_install section of your .travis.yml for decrypting it during the build.

Finally, push your repo to GitHub, turn builds on for this project on Travis, and you have automated everything!

Crosswalk

In this example, we are going to use Travis to:

Deploy server to Galaxy
Build an Android app using Crosswalk
Distribute app through Hockey

Setting up these actions are detailed about in the Basic example. Here are all the finished items:

Kitchen Sink

In this example, we are going to use Travis's build matrix to:

Deploy server to Galaxy
Build an Android app
Build an iOS app
Distribute Android app through Hockey
Distribute iOS app through Hockey
Distribute Android app through Google Play Store
Distribute iOS app through TestFlight (Beta App Store)

Here is what can be made available publicly of the finished example:

The Google Play and TestFlight uploads you will have to take my word for, but you can see that they are uploading in the Travis builds.
