Upload an apk file to Slack using github action

Question

I am trying to upload an APK file to Slack using Github. My code somehow works adding a text but it doesn't really upload the actual apk file. I am building the apk file using Flutter. All I want to do is uploading an apk file and it would be also great to send a chat notification too.. but seems chat notifcation is completed but not working for uploading a file.

Thanks for your help in advance!

Looks like your issue might be in your path for the release-apk step. Might be worth changing it to this:

path: ${{ github.workspace }}/app/actions_builds/app-release.apk
