Play Declaration Gap Lint (AndroidManifest)

Runs the same checker as the npm package @readystack/play-declaration-gap-lint on a Node.js runtime that pip installs for you (nodejs-wheel-binaries) - no system Node.js needed. Your files are checked locally.

15 checks that name every Play Console declaration your manifest opens

Install

play-declaration-gap-lint file

Node 18+. The same 15 rules as the VS Code extension, from a terminal or CI.

Free

• Check the AndroidManifest.xml open in your editor: all 15 checks, one line number each, with the Play Console surface named - no key, no limit
• --rules lists every rule

With a licence ($29 once)

• Sweep every manifest in the workspace, library and SDK modules included, and write a dated playDecl-report.md declaration worksheet you keep in the repository

@readystack/play-declaration-gap-lint --dir ./templates --report html --out report.html

A freelance Android release engineer bills $60-$120 an hour; reading a multi-module app's manifests against every current Play declaration is most of a working day
