namespace "com.example.myapp"
compileSdk = 34
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.example.myapp" // Application ID
minSdk = 21 // Minimum Android version
targetSdk = 34 // Target version
versionCode 1 // Version code (increment with each release)
versionName "1.0.0" // Version name
}
signingConfigs {
release {
// Release signing configuration
storeFile file("key.jks")
storePassword "password"
keyAlias "alias"
keyPassword "key password"
}
}
}
