Github Actions Support

[amelnychuck]

My team and I use GitHub actions to create releases, increment versions, and more for our iOS projects. We have flags to support manual triggers for these actions, and it would be incredible to have support for:

• Viewing actions and runs in the mobile app (useful for monitoring purposes)
• Trigger an action in the app (shortcuts support would be...incredible, even if there are some actions you reasonably might not want to do that for😂)
• Ability to view releases/draft releases in the app and finalize a draft release into a published one. Would love to do this workflow on my iPad

Thanks for all the wonderful work on the app and I'm already a very happy user even without these : )

This might be better as just regular status checks with some GitHub Actions specific stuff baked in. Right now the GitHub GraphQL API has status checks as part of their preview so I don't see them doing this soon. This would be great to have!

[zacwest]

I'd love to be able to view actions' results and tap a "notify me when this action completes" button to get a push notification (either desktop or mobile), since I'm generally not paying solid attention to the actions.

I'd love to trigger dispatch workflows in the app as well, but this is something I do less often on mobile than trying to view the status/results of an action.

I would love to have even a simple MVP of just viewing Workflow run status in the iOS app. I would probably not dispatch manually remotely but to just view status on my phone would be neat. I suppose I could setup notifications or use the site but am enjoying using the Github mobile iOS app more. I suppose on the iPad there's room for more detailed workflow information in landscape, but on my phone I just want status.

I agree, at least being able to monitor the status and getting a notification whenever a workflow finishes it would be amazingly convenient! I imagine having that for our Release workflow, being notified of the auto-created "Release Draft", reviewing it and publishing it.. al straight from the Android/iOS app 💙💙

Hi there @amelnychuck ! thanks for this feature request and I agree with you.
I am going to add your note to our internal tracking issue and we will discuss within the team and will keep an eye out for similar user requests. This will really help us prioritise.

Thanks a lot and thank you for using our app :)

ok

[The-Noah]

It appears to only be for PRs, and not the entire repo/specific commits? It would be awesome to get repo + commit level view of Actions. Still great work though!

[Angelk90]

@amrehman : There's news about that?

[amrehman]

Hi there @Angelk90
Its at the moment in our backlog, stay tuned to our future releases :) We hope to give you an update soon!

[Angelk90]

Hi @amrehman , how long will it take before receiving the following feature, I don't know 4-5 months?

[JesseSkelly]

Hi @amrehman , how long will it take before receiving the following feature, I don't know 4-5 months?

Yup

[peturssonstefan-ikea]

Hope this feature is still planned - super excited about it!

[Angelk90]

@amrehman : Besides the ability to see the actions that are in a project on mobile, would it be possible to add the ability to start a "Run workflow" action like in a browser?

[alialhammad1992]

ok

[Divinemoney]

Hey

[amrehman]

Hey folks!

We just shipped GitHub Actions on iOS and Android.
https://github.blog/changelog/2022-10-04-introducing-actions-on-github-mobile/

Please give it a go and give us feedback :) Cheers!

[Wladefant]

@amrehman this discussion is now resolved and can be closed

[Angelk90]

@Wladefant : Solved what, I don't see anything solved?

[fractos]

Android mobile version does not show all workflows - the list cuts off after x many (50?), and (obviously) the ones I want to look at are beyond this limit. Frustrating.

So we can browse action results for PR but not commits, very frustrating.

I am looking for a direct way to link/trigger the "Run Workflow" button
Any help would be greatly appreciated .

so strange, that gh still not created easy way to generate links to trigger actions directly from simple html. Will be extremely usefull to add some links in releases, like:
deploy to: [prod]:http://gh/actions/some_deploy.yml?where=to_prod
and if there is need to do some verification or whatever, gh can show pop-up page: "are you sure?" and by cliking yes - send post request.

but it will make life so easier for people who not develop, but forced to use GH due to corporate policies.

[yaroslav-nakonechnikov]

@amrehman if this still not realized, may i ask to add some links from discussions to add more weight for that feature?
