Android Signing

Instructions in MobileSigning

NOTE: It can be started in a different Windows without having to wait for Firefox signing to finish.

Major Update

Major update generation is not kicked off automatically. You should only create them once the final builds for the "latest" build are ready. For instance, the 3.6.26 builds got created a week before the 10.0 release but the "final" 10.0 builds were not created after few days.

Follow instructions from the Major update documentation.

Reset reserved slaves

This is also a good time to QUIT SIGNCODE on keymaster if you've still got it running.

Run backupsnip

NOTE: Remember to do this at least an hour ahead of the expected "go to beta" email.

Push files to internal mirrors

Done the day before release OR ASAP for chemspills: Mirrors Policy

Push to external mirrors

if this is a chemspill you will want to ping justdave (or other sysadmin) in #release-drivers 
and ask them to enable CDN

Publish Fennec to the Android Market

Push the files

• edit push_fennec_{beta,release}.sh as ffxbld@stage
• run push_fennec_{beta,release}

Android Market

IMPORTANT - Make sure to follow instructions!

• download multi apk (e.g. multi/fennec-10.0b6.multi.android-arm.apk)
• visit https://market.android.com/publish
• choose "Firefox Beta" or "Firefox"
• select the "APK Files" tab and choose "Upload APK"
  • choose the multi apk that you downloaded and hit "upload"
    • NOTE: the progress bar does not seem to show progress (at least on Google Chrome)
  • when it finishes uploading, verify VersionCode is the build date (almost anyway, the market reports an hour later than our buildID)
  • hit "Save"
• activate new apk (You should see an Error message since both apk's are active)
• deactivate old apk (You should not see the Error message anymore)
• hit "Save"
• If this is a beta 1, go to "Product Details" tab -> Recent Changes, change the url to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/mobile/{VERSION}beta/releasenotes/
  • and hit "Save"

Update XULRunner wiki page

For major releases or chemspills, update the links on:

• https://developer.mozilla.org/en/XULRunner
• https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Gecko_SDK

Update symlinks

Once we're signed off on the release channel.

Remove index.html files

If you created them earlier to hide the release.
