Use the CLI

playup \
  --auth api.json \
  --recent-changes "en-US='lorem ipsum dolor'" \
  /path/to/Package.apk \
  /path/to/Expansion.obb  # optional 
  /path/to/Expansion2.obb   # optional 

or the JavaScript API

var publisher = require('playup')({
  client_email: '',
  private_key: '',
})
 
publisher.upload('/path/to/apk', {
  obbs: [  // optional expansion files (max 2)
    '/path/to/somefile.obb'
  ],
  recentChanges: {
    'en-US': 'lorem ipsum dolor'
  },
}).then(function (data) {
  console.log(' > %s version %d is up!', data.packageName, data.versionCode)
})

Authentication

First you have to create a Google Play API Access. To do that go to the Google Play Developer Console and then with the account owner go to Settings -> API access and create a Google Play Android Developer project.

After that follow the instructions to create a Service Account. When you click Create Client ID, choose Service Account. You will get a JSON file with a public key and the service email.

The upload method returns a Promise so this package can be used in conjunction with gulp with no extra plugins needed

gulp.task(upload, function () {
  return publisher.upload(apk, params)
})
