# Test Version Creation

Automates creation of test version branches with hardcoded build configurations for testing app upgrade functionality and version migration flows.

## Quick Reference

### Version Pattern

Test versions follow the pattern: **`9XXX.YY.Z`**

- `9XXX` - Test version indicator (e.g., 9005)
- `YY.Z` - Matches production version being tested

Example: `9005.20.0` for testing production `5.20.0`

### Build Number Formula

Build number is calculated as:

```bash
DATE=$(date +%Y%m%d)
BUILD_NUMBER=$((${DATE}00 + 30))
```

**Format**: 10 digits = `YYYYMMDD00 + 30`

Example: If today is `20260130`, build number is `2026013030`

## Workflow

### Step 1: Get Version Information

Ask user for test version number:
- Format: `9XXX.YY.Z`
- Example: `9005.20.0`

### Step 2: Calculate Build Number

```bash
DATE=$(date +%Y%m%d)
BUILD_NUMBER=$((${DATE}00 + 30))
echo "Build number: $BUILD_NUMBER"
```

### Step 3: Create Branch

```bash
git checkout -b <test_version>
# Example: git checkout -b 9005.20.0
```

### Step 4: Modify Configuration Files

Update these files in order:

1. **`.env.version`**
   - Set VERSION to test version
   - Set BUILD_NUMBER to calculated value

2. **`.github/actions/shared-env/action.yml`**
   - Update version in outputs section

3. **`.github/workflows/release-android.yml`**
   - Update versionName in android-build job

4. **`apps/mobile/android/app/build.gradle`**
   - Update versionCode
   - Update versionName

### Step 5: Commit and Push

```bash
git add .
git commit -m "chore: create test version <version>"
git push origin <test_version>
```

## Files to Modify

| File | What to Update |
|------|----------------|
| `.env.version` | VERSION, BUILD_NUMBER |
| `.github/actions/shared-env/action.yml` | outputs.version |
| `.github/workflows/release-android.yml` | versionName |
| `apps/mobile/android/app/build.gradle` | versionCode, versionName |
