Conversation
Every release of the demo app in Firebase App Distribution read 1.32.0 (1), because the version code was hardcoded and the name came from the SDK version alone. Testers could not tell one build from another, and the release list only showed the commit hash. The distribution workflows now pass the git commit count and the short commit sha to Gradle. The build turns them into an increasing version code and a name like 1.32.0-200fbdf, so a Firebase row reads 1.32.0-200fbdf (3842). Both values fall back to what they were before when the properties are absent, so local builds and the Play version name are unchanged. The workflows also write release notes with the commit subject and a link back to the build. AppConfig built its shared preferences name from the version code. With a version code that changes on every build, that would reset the tester's selected environment on every update, so the version code is out of the name now.

- Line 33: Replace the git rev-list count used for versionCode in the workflow’s
version-generation step with a single repository-wide CI-managed monotonic
numeric sequence shared by both Android workflows. Ensure every build receives a
unique, increasing version code across refs, and leave the SHA-based versionName
behavior unchanged.

Both distribution workflows publish io.getstream.video.android.dogfooding, one from main and one from develop-v2, and the two commit counts are not comparable: main is at 3917 while develop-v2 is at 3842. A tester who installed the higher one could not then install a build from the other branch, because Android rejects a lower version code. The version code is now minutes since a fixed epoch, so it grows with build time whatever branch the build came from. The full clone is no longer needed.

Goal
Closes AND-1545
Every release of the demo app in Firebase App Distribution reads
1.32.0 (1). The versioncode is hardcoded and the version name is the SDK version alone, so all 12 releases in the
dogfooding app look identical. Testers cannot tell one build from another, and the release
list only carries the commit hash.
Implementation
demo-app/build.gradle.ktsreadsdemoAppVersionCodeanddemoAppBuildShaas Gradleproperties. The version code comes from the first, and the version name becomes
1.32.0-<sha>when the second is set. Both fall back to the previous fixed values whenabsent, so local builds do not change.
androidComponentsblock that rewrote the version name to1.32.0 (<playCode>)nowruns only when no sha was passed, so Play builds keep the name they have today. Play
still assigns its own version code through
ResolutionStrategy.AUTO.rather than from a commit count. They publish the same package,
io.getstream.video.android.dogfooding, one frommainand one fromdevelop-v2, andthe two commit counts are not comparable: main is at 3917 while develop-v2 is at 3842. A
tester who installed the higher one could not then install a build from the other branch,
because Android rejects a lower version code.
run. Without the notes file the action falls back to
git log -1 --pretty=short, which iswhy the list carries only the hash today.
AppConfigno longer builds its shared preferences name fromBuildConfig.VERSION_CODE.With a version code that changes on every build, that would reset the tester's selected
environment on every update. One-time effect: the stored environment resets once when
this lands.
A Firebase row will read
1.32.0-200fbdf (3160832)instead of1.32.0 (1) (1).Testing
Read the version values out of the packaged manifest of

Play publishing are unaffected.
