Pull Request Template

Summary

• Briefly describe the changes made in this pull request:
  • This pull request updates the GitHub Actions workflow to build either a Debug or Release version of the Ocean Android libraries and third-party dependencies, and uploads them as downloadable artifacts.

Changes

• Description of the changes made in this pull request:
  • Updated the workflow file to build either a debug or release configuration (one at a time).
  • Configured absolute build directory paths under the GitHub workspace to ensure proper read/write access.
  • Added steps to build the third-party dependencies using build_thirdparty_android.sh.
  • Added steps to build the Ocean Android libraries using build_ocean_android.sh.
  • Introduced archive steps to compress the built libraries into separate artifacts for the chosen build configuration.
  • Added artifact upload steps using actions/upload-artifact@v4 for both third-party dependencies and Android libraries.
  • Added ABI selection input, making the target ABI configurable.
  • Made the build configuration (debug or release) configurable through workflow inputs (only one configuration is built per run).

Motivation

• Explain the motivation behind making these changes:
  • To streamline the build process by automatically generating artifacts for the chosen build configuration.
  • To facilitate easier integration into external projects by providing downloadable build artifacts directly from the CI/CD pipeline.

Testing

• Description of the testing performed to verify the changes:
  • Executed the updated workflow on a test branch to ensure that the specified build (debug or release) completes successfully.
  • Verified that the build directories are correctly created and have proper permissions.
  • Confirmed that the artifacts for both third-party dependencies and the Android libraries are archived and uploaded correctly.
  • Manually downloaded and inspected the artifacts to validate their integrity and contents.

Checklist

• Confirm that the following have been completed:
  • Code compiles and runs successfully on all supported platforms.
  • All tests pass.
  • Documentation is updated (if applicable).
  • Changes follow the project's coding standards.

Additional Comments

• Additional comments or information that may be helpful:
  • Future improvements might include caching build dependencies to reduce build times.
  • The ABI support is fully configurable, allowing for additional Android ABIs if needed.
