Failing to resolve projectEnv.get() in build.gradle when detecting Android version

[helbery-chefaa]

Description:

After updating from 0.0.11 to 0.0.12, release-react fails with:

No property named "projectEnv.get(ANDROID_VERSION_NAME)" exists in the following files: android/app/gradle.properties, android/gradle.properties.

CLI is installed via the GitHub Action:

• name: Setup Revopush CLI
  uses: 'revopush/revopush-github-action@v1'
  id: setup-revopush-cli
  with:
  version: 'latest'

Using version: 'latest' started pulling 0.0.12, which introduced this regression.

Our build.gradle uses react-native-config's project.env to load the version:

def projectEnv = project.env
// ...
versionName projectEnv.get("ANDROID_VERSION_NAME")

The CLI parses build.gradle, finds projectEnv.get("ANDROID_VERSION_NAME"), and then looks for ANDROID_VERSION_NAME as a property in gradle.properties — but it's defined in .env
and loaded via react-native-config's dotenv.gradle. This worked correctly in 0.0.11.

The --targetBinaryVersion flag is also provided explicitly, so auto-detection should either handle this pattern or be skippable.

Workaround: Pin the CLI to 0.0.11:

with:
version: '0.0.11'

Expected behavior: The CLI should either:

1. Correctly resolve projectEnv.get(...) by reading .env (via react-native-config)
2. Skip auto-detection when --targetBinaryVersion is explicitly provided
3. Fall back gracefully instead of erroring

Supported patterns in build.gradle:

// 1. Direct literal — works as-is
versionName "1.2.3"

// 2. Bare property name — key looked up directly in gradle.properties
versionName versionName

// 3. project.xxx — the "project." prefix is stripped, remainder is the key
versionName project.versionName

For case 3, project.versionName → .replace("project.", "") → versionName → looked up in gradle.properties.

What must be in gradle.properties:

android/gradle.properties (or android/app/gradle.properties)

versionName=1.2.3

The key rule: the property key used in build.gradle (after stripping project.) must exactly match a key in one of those two files.

we advice you to update to the https://www.npmjs.com/package/@revopush/code-push-cli/v/0.0.13 . That version respects --targetBinaryVersion is explicitly provided (gradle file won't be parsed at all in that case ).
