Hi I recently imported an android project on bitrise and created a workflow for it

Since the project already has fastlane added.

My fastlane about building apk and uploading is like this

```
lane :crashlytics_stagingDebug do
  # build the release variant
  build_android_app(task: "assembleStagingDebug")

  # upload to Beta by Crashlytics
  crashlytics(
    api_token: "adsfasdfasdfhasghjklfashgjkhdafjkghjkaghjkahsg",
    build_secret: "ajsdklfjklasdfjklasdjflkasdjklfjaslkdjflkasdjfkljaslkdfjklsdajfklsadjflkadsj"
  )
end

```

So in the workflow, I use fastlane to execute “assembleStagingDebug”. But it seems that the apk got directly uploaded to crashlytics. The following Step “Deploy to [bitrise.io](http://bitrise.io)” doesn’t upload any apk to it.

I assume that the “Deploy to [bitrise.io](http://bitrise.io)” doesn’t know that apk generated by fastlane. May I ask how should I configure the “Deploy to bitrise” to also attach the generated apk in bitrise?

Thanks a lot

Hi @xiao-nirovision,

There are two ways:

1. Either move the APK into the `$BITRISE_DEPLOY_DIR`, which is the default dir deployed by **Deploy to [Bitrise.io](http://Bitrise.io)** step . You can of course do this in your fastlane config too, moving or copying the APK, you can get the `$BITRISE_DEPLOY_DIR` environment variable’s value with `ENV['BITRISE_DEPLOY_DIR']` in Ruby.
2. Or change the path which should be deployed in the **Deploy to [Bitrise.io](http://Bitrise.io)** step to the path where you store the APK (e.g. something like `$BITRISE_SOURCE_DIR/build/.../app.apk`

Related docs: [https://devcenter.bitrise.io/tips-and-tricks/attach-any-file-to-build/](https://devcenter.bitrise.io/tips-and-tricks/attach-any-file-to-build/)

If you’d have any questions just let us know! 😉

P.S.: on the screenshot you linked I saw that you already change the “Deploy directory of file path” option of the **Deploy to [Bitrise.io](http://Bitrise.io)** step, so either set that to the right path (where the APK is stored) or change it back to the default `$BITRISE_DEPLOY_DIR` and go with the #1 point.

Hey @viktorbenei

Thanks so much for answering, I will try your first solution and let you know how it goes.

As for the second solution, the reason I kind of want to avoid using it is that I have different flavors with my app which will have different output folder.

But thanks so much anyway

Xiao

Cool, it works. Thanks @viktorbenei
