Build and Auto-Update
On Maven builds the resulting APK of the RaceCommittee App will be made available as static content on the server's web page.
The RaceCommittee App is set up as an optional dependency of the bundle com.sap.sailing.www. This way the app will be build before the www-bundle. After the install phase the RaceCommittee App bundle will copy its artifact APK into com.sap.sailing.www/apps. The contents of this folder are packaged into the com.sap.sailing.www plugin, which will be deployed as the server's web page. When build with buildAndUpdateProduct.sh an additional version information file is stored alongside the APK. Version information is taken from the AndroidManifest.xml (android:versionCode).
On synchronizing the connection settings (see administrator's guide) the RaceCommittee App downloads the version file to determine whether it should update itself or not. The file is expected to be found on {SERVER_URL}/apps/{APP_PACKAGE_NAME}.version (e.g. http://ess2020.sapsailing.com/apps/com.sap.sailing.racecommittee.app.version). If the version file is not found, no update will be performed.
