In short, is a standardised, reproducible pipeline that couples a build‑manager (NTRMAN) with a rigorous QA stage, culminating in a production‑ready Android APK. 2. Core Concepts & Architecture ┌─────────────┐ ┌─────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────┐ │ Source │ → │ NTRMAN CLI │ → │ QA‑APK Stage │ │ (Git repo) │ │ (build, config)│ │ (test, sign) │ └─────▲───────┘ └───────▲─────────┘ └───────▲─────────┘ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ▼ ▼ ▼ CI/CD (GitHub Docker / Node Fastlane, Actions, GitLab containers) Gradle, Jenkins) etc. | Layer | Responsibility | |-------|-----------------| | Source | Version‑controlled code, Gradle scripts, native modules. | | NTRMAN | • Parses a ntrman.yml configuration file. • Installs required Node/Java/Android SDK versions via asdf or sdkman . • Executes gradlew assembleDebug (or assembleRelease ). | | QA‑APK | • Runs unit tests ( jest , mocha ). • Executes integration tests ( react-native-testing-library ). • Launches instrumented UI tests with Espresso or Detox . • Performs static analysis ( lint , detekt ). • Generates code coverage and performance metrics . • Signs the APK with the appropriate keystore once all gates pass. | | CI/CD | Orchestrates NTRMAN commands, caches artifacts, and publishes the final APK to Firebase App Distribution , Google Play internal test , or a private artifact repo. | 3. Getting Started 3.1 Prerequisites | Tool | Minimum Version | Installation Tip | |------|-----------------|------------------| | Node.js | 18.x LTS | asdf install nodejs 18.20.0 && asdf global nodejs 18.20.0 | | Java | OpenJDK 11 | sdk install java 11.0.22-open | | Android SDK | Platform‑tools 34+ | sdkmanager "platform-tools" "platforms;android-34" | | Docker | 24.x (optional) | Useful for reproducible builds in CI. | | Git | 2.40+ | Standard. | | NTRMAN | npm i -g ntrman | Installs the CLI globally. | | Fastlane (optional for signing) | 2.221+ | gem install fastlane (or use bundled Fastlane in the Docker image). | 3.2 Project Bootstrap # 1️⃣ Clone the repo git clone https://github.com/your-org/awesome-app.git cd awesome-app NTRMAN - QA-APK
