Nightly builds

The Nightly release workflow builds the latest pipe commit every day at 02:00 UTC and can also be started manually from GitHub Actions.

Successful builds are published as prereleases in:

Every nightly publishes two direct APK files: one for ARM64/ARMv7 and one for x86_64. Use the filename ending in -x86_64.apk for Waydroid or another 64-bit Intel or AMD Android environment; use the standard filename on ARM devices.

The workflow skips publishing when the checked-out pipe commit already has a nightly release.

Nightly identity

  • Application ID: org.wisso.newpipematerial.nightly
  • Application label: WizeStream Nightly
  • Build type: optimized, non-debuggable, inherited from release
  • Signing key: the same release signing key used for stable WizeStream builds

The nightly application ID differs from the stable application ID, so both applications can be installed at the same time even though they use the same signing key.

Required source-repository secrets

Add these secrets to wizdom13/WizeStream:

  • NIGHTLY_REPO_TOKEN: fine-grained token with Contents: Read and write access to wizdom13/WizeStream_Nightly
  • WIZESTREAM_RELEASE_KEYSTORE_BASE64: Base64-encoded release keystore
  • WIZESTREAM_RELEASE_STORE_PASSWORD
  • WIZESTREAM_RELEASE_KEY_ALIAS
  • WIZESTREAM_RELEASE_KEY_PASSWORD

For compatibility with existing setups, the workflow also accepts these fallback secret names:

  • Keystore: NEWPIPE_MATERIAL_RELEASE_KEYSTORE_BASE64, RELEASE_KEYSTORE_BASE64, or SIGNING_KEY
  • Store password: NEWPIPE_MATERIAL_RELEASE_STORE_PASSWORD or KEYSTORE_PASSWORD
  • Alias: NEWPIPE_MATERIAL_RELEASE_KEY_ALIAS or KEY_ALIAS
  • Key password: NEWPIPE_MATERIAL_RELEASE_KEY_PASSWORD or KEY_PASSWORD

To encode the existing keystore on Linux:

base64 -w 0 path/to/release.keystore

On PowerShell:

[Convert]::ToBase64String([IO.File]::ReadAllBytes("path\to\release.keystore"))

Versioning

Each published nightly receives:

  • version code: YYDDDHHMM in UTC
  • version suffix: -nightly.YYYYMMDD.<short-source-sha>
  • tag: nightly-YYYYMMDD-<short-source-sha>

For example:

1.0.0-nightly.20260714.dc108a3
nightly-20260714-dc108a3

Retention

The workflow keeps the newest 14 nightly prereleases and deletes older releases and their tags. The separate ARM and x86_64 GitHub Actions artifacts are retained for 14 days.
