@micahmo This is ready to be reviewed - if you could, please look over the workflow and let me know if there's something that I might be missing here as I'm not too familiar with GitHub actions/workflows! I've also updated the PR description to provide a bit more details. |
I'm not sure if it helps at all, but remember that you can upload secrets to the repository (Settings > Secrets and variables > Actions) which can be consumed in the actions. Maybe that will help to reuse existing certificates and such? |
I'm doing this for the Android secrets! However, for iOS, there are a few certificates that are automatically managed by Xcode. This means that I would have to re-create those certificates and replace them first before I can add them into GitHub |

Gotcha! |
Pull Request Description
This PR adds a new GitHub workflow that automatically builds nightly/general release builds for Android. I've opted to only work on the automated Android build for now as iOS requires a bit more effort to get set up (in particular, I would need to generate new provisioning profiles and certificates to perform automatic builds)
With the Android automated builds, I'll also be able to (hopefully) finalize the requirements needed for F-Droid reproducible builds. Once this PR is merged and a new nightly is built, I'll be able to verify that the F-Droid build process works as intended.
The next step after automating Android builds is to generate a template release markdown file to automatically populate the release notes!
