Test dev build distribution (dry run):

DRY_RUN=true BUILDKITE_BUILD_NUMBER=9999 bundle exec fastlane distribute_dev_build

Check the file_paths point to existing files.
Upload files to Apps CDN
You can grab the WPCOM_API_TOKEN from the secret store.

WPCOM_API_TOKEN=12546 BUILDKITE_BUILD_NUMBER=1338 bundle exec fastlane distribute_dev_build

Check the files exist on:

https://appscdn.wordpress.com/products/wordpress-com-studio/

Confirm the https://appscdn.wordpress.com/builds/wordpress-com-studio/releases.json include the correct versions.
To see the valid parameters that upload_build_to_apps_cdn accepts, you can execute:

bundle exec fastlane action upload_build_to_apps_cdn

@AliSoftware , @mokagio , Could I get a confidence check on this PR? I'm still investigating the root cause of Studio updates failing on STU-707 but I would like to clear this side.

If updates are not fully working this week, what would you think about using the new APPS CDN for full builds and the former CDN for updates until we find a solution?

I successfully uploaded the Mac versions and Windows ARM64 of Studio v1.6.2 by downloading the builds from buildkite to the out folder and then running WPCOM_API_TOKEN='*****' BUILDKITE_BUILD_NUMBER=8428 BUILDKITE_TAG=v1.6.2 bundle exec fastlane distribute_release_build.

I commented the Windows - x64 versions because we are renaming that platform name.

Here is the log of the upload:

AliSoftware · 2025-11-04T13:00:28Z

If updates are not fully working this week, what would you think about using the new APPS CDN for full builds and the former CDN for updates until we find a solution?

tbh I don't have a strong opinion about this.
If using a mix of both CDNs until you can fix the issues you're having with updates in STU-707 works for you, I'm ok with it. Though I feel it might make the Fastfile a bit complicated to follow (having to keep the implementation for both approaches, at least until STU-707 is solved), but might be better than keeping this PR blocked for too long? 🤷

sejas · 2025-11-05T19:26:47Z

I was not able to reproduce the update error, but I couldn't confirm the updates work either. I asked in Slack p1762286271710999-slack-CC7L49W13 and we might give it a try on production ✨.

sejas · 2025-11-05T23:11:17Z

I updated wpmreleasetoolkit to 13.7 and successfully uploaded Windows - x64.

Here is the log of the upload:

@sejas the code looks good, only a few nitpicks that don't need to be addressed before merging.

I haven't followed this long running conversation, but from my understanding of the latest messages shared between Slack and Linear, I think the next step is to ship to prod?

If so, here's an approval. Let's try it!

mokagio · 2025-11-06T04:28:47Z

-
-When CI has finished building installers it uploads installers _and_ the
-releases manifest to the CDN for distribution.
+The `releases.json` file serves as an authoritative source of update information for the App to update. It is generated entirely by the Apps CDN endpoint https://appscdn.wordpress.com/builds/wordpress-com-studio/releases.json proxied from https://public-api.wordpress.com/wpcom/v2/studio-app/updates?platform=darwin&arch=arm64&version=1.5.3-dev2


proxied from https://public-api.wordpress.com/wpcom/v2/studio-app/updates?platform=darwin&arch=arm64&version=1.5.3-dev2

Hitting that URL returns:

{"url":"https:\/\/cdn.a8c-ci.services\/studio\/studio-darwin-arm64-v1.6.2-dev64.app.zip"}

The way I read this line, it means that for each platform and architecture Apps CDN uses https://public-api.wordpress.com/wpcom/v2/studio-app/updates?platform=<platform>&arch=<arch>&version=<latest version?> to get the values to put in the JSON. cc @hannahtinkler

The initial idea was to generate and upload the releases.json to the old CDN, but we decided to create the equivalent version in our infrastructure https://appscdn.wordpress.com/builds/wordpress-com-studio/releases.json . That file is generated dynamically.
We can optimize the logic in the near future and Studio endpoint could https://public-api.wordpress.com/wpcom/v2/studio-app/updates could access the builds in the database and return the URL without needing the intermediary releases.json, but that can be a follow-up optimization. Also, I'm not sure if a similar logic is necessary for other Electron apps.

sejas · 2025-11-06T15:49:27Z

@mokagio, thanks for the review! ✨
I'll merge this PR after we release Studio v1.6.3, probably tomorrow. And update that version manually one last time. I won't deploy the change in the updates endpoint yet. That way we can test the updates with more control and will allow switching between CDNs updates more easily, because the latest version will be available in both CDNs. Next week YOLO will be in a meetup with reduced bandwidth.

-add-apps-cdn

sejas · 2025-11-07T13:09:19Z

I manually uploaded v1.6.3. Future releases will be uploaded using CI. Current updates will be held in v1.6.3 until we test and ship 185772-ghe-Automattic/wpcom.

We started using the new /latest links in all landing pages.

sejas · 2025-11-07T16:55:38Z

@mokagio , @AliSoftware , do you know what's the best way to set the WPCOM_API_TOKEN ENV variable in Buildkite?

I also asked in Slack p1762534174984229-slack-CC7L49W13

It's not urgent because we already released the latest version before merging this PR.

AliSoftware · 2025-11-07T18:36:24Z

@mokagio , @AliSoftware , do you know what's the best way to set the WPCOM_API_TOKEN ENV variable in Buildkite?

TL;DR you need to export the variable in ~/.mobile-secrets/CI/secrets/studio/env to expose the secret to CI — See PCYsg-iIC-p2

But I guess this was already answered in Slack, alongside a debate wether you should use a different token for studio vs using the same as other apps, so let's keep the rest of the discussion in Slack 🙂

sejas · 2025-11-07T18:38:37Z

Thanks for sharing the FG link!. Let's continue in Slack 👌 .
