Hey guys,

We've had a couple of sprints and people are starting to use the SDK, yay.  This means we should probably start discussing publishing our work so we don't have to build the SDK to use it (boo!).

A few questions to the group : 
 * Do we publish to jcenter or central?  I vote jcenter.  It is easier to publish to, quicker to publish too, and is what the Android developers want us to do.  
 * What do we want our version to be? I propose for now 5.0.0-SNAPSHOT-${build}.  Adding the ${build} tag is necessary because by default Gradle does refresh "snapshot" dependencies.
 * If we choose jcenter who is going to manage the bintray account?  We already have accounts setup for team members on Maven Central (matzew and passos can fill us in on more details).

Thoughts and +1s are welcome.

+1 to jcenter.

Given that this is a new library I think it is a bit strange to start from 5.x. I think we should start from 1.x instead.
 
 * If we choose jcenter who is going to manage the bintray account?  We already have accounts setup for team members on Maven Central (matzew and passos can fill us in on more details).

Not sure what is the recommended approach for an open source project, but I think we should setup an aerogear-maintainers google group or mailing list to help manage those accounts. Only a small number of community members should subscribe to this list.
 

Thoughts and +1s are welcome.

Choosing 5.x would be a bit like cheating :P​

BTW Summers I'm curious, is the SDK usable at all at this point?

Sure.  I mean it isn't house broken yet but it can be dogfooded.

Auth and metrics are there in some form, it has a simple mechanism for connecting  to new services.  We need feedback on how these actually work and we need more docs.

Connecting to the topic. Any reasons against trying out publishing IOS SDK? 
It's just to try it out and see what will be involved, identify possible problems etc.

Throw it into cocoa pods and lets see what happens :)

+1 to publishing the Android SDK somewhere.

I tried to follow https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-android-sdk/blob/master/docs/getting-started.adoc this morning to add the SDK to an existing project, but hit an error because it isn't published.

Sorry for my late reply,

Time ago I have played around JCenter vs Maven Central to publish AeroGear Android lib and I had chosen the Maven Central because it was easy to integrate/publish in Gradle publish using gradle-mvn-push[1]. I have also migrated from JBoss Nexus[2] to Sonatype Nexus[3] because it makes the sync too much faster.

Anyway, I have no problem to go with JCenter if most of the people prefer that.

[2] https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/
[3] https://oss.sonatype.org/

Just bumping this thread a bit.

A discussion has come up on this issue : https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-android-sdk/issues/93

TL;DR; We want to change the version of the SDK in github to 0.1.0-SNAPSHOT.  When we publish this SDK it will be published as a version with a timestamp (ex 0.1.0-2018-08 where 08 is the week the SDK was released).  We would like to have weekly automated releases to wherever.  On IRC passos mentioned he was interested in a per push releases as well to a SNAPSHOT repository.

WDYT?

Hi,

I know people have voted to use JCenter instead of Maven Central, but we already have all set to publish it on Sonatype/Maven central. It means the only thing we need is run the command below (and also have the permission on Sonatype)

./gradlew clean build uploadArchives -PNEXUS_USERNAME=[your user] -PNEXUS_PASSWORD=[your token]

… so today Summers and I have pushed a “SNAPSHOT” version using the timestamp strategy.

In the near future, I wanna have a real SNAPSHOT auto publish by circle-ci after every commit/PR merge.

Here is the stagging link for the first release if you wanna play with

https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/orgaerogear-1017

Summers and I will play with it the next 2 days and if no one found any bug in the process, I’m going to release it to the Maven Central.

All of this releases will be tagged and mark as pre-release on Github.

https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-android-sdk/releases/tag/0.1.0-2018-07
