After generating the APK files for my Android repo, I want the GitHub CI to send me an email to notify me that the artifacts are generated. So here I have an action to check if the APK name exists and regardless of the result, send me an email.

These artifacts are generated successfully but I get the emails saying they don't exist.

What went wrong in my script?

Answer 1

You're using app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk as an upload path but on the other hand you're checking app-debug.apk for existence.
