Gcloud installation / google storage upload

Question & Answer
1

Hi,
how can I install gcloud on hybrid stack, so I can upload files to google storage?

I will answer myself, hoping someone else might find it useful. Here is a script that works.

Preparations:

  1. generate a gcloud key.json file, and upload it in the code signings section (workflow screen) - in the generic file section (bottom) and save it as BITRISEIO_GCLOUD_JSON_URL

  2. Have a storage bucket ready and store its name in the GCLOUD_APP_PATH env variable. This is the gs://… bucket path. (This is optional, to make this script nice. You can paste the path in the script and skip this part).

     #!/bin/bash
 set -ex

 # install gcloud on a hybrid stack (i.e. mac. Other stacks may have it pre installed)
 curl https://sdk.cloud.google.com | bash 
 source $HOME/google-cloud-sdk/path.bash.inc

 # just checking that gcloud command works - remove it if you like. 
 gcloud version

 # Download the key file stored earlier
 curl -o /tmp/gcloud.json $BITRISEIO_GCLOUD_JSON_URL
 # Use the file for authentication
 gcloud auth activate-service-account -q --key-file /tmp/gcloud.json

 # taking pakage version from package.json, but any versioning will work
 PACKAGE_VERSION=$(node -p "require('./package.json').version")
 # Building the target path. Any scheme will do... 
 TARGET=${GCLOUD_APP_PATH}/${BITRISE_SCHEME}-${PACKAGE_VERSION}.ipa

# Copy the file from previous step into the target
 gsutil cp  ${BITRISE_IPA_PATH} ${TARGET}

Note, downloading is working exactly the same way, just reverse the order of the source and target in gsutil cp.

Hex @tbarak, thanks for sorting this out!

I’m sure it will be useful for plenty of our users stumbling into the same issue :slightly_smiling_face:
