Workflow job

As explained in .NET MAUI in Action

A workflow job is a group of GitHub Actions steps executed together on a specified runner.

How .NET MAUI in Action covers it

How deep it goes

Explains job structure through runner selection and six procedural steps, stopping short of broader workflow orchestration.

Examples

Uses an Android job that decodes a keystore, publishes a signed AAB, and uploads it for a later deployment job.

What it assumes

Assumes a GitHub Actions workflow and .NET MAUI project while teaching secret-based keystore handling and job-step configuration.

What you can do after

Build it from scratch by configuring a runner, ordered steps, protected signing secrets, a signed publish command, and an uploaded artifact.

How it connects

Connects workflow jobs with GitHub Actions steps, runners, secrets, .NET MAUI workloads, and build artifacts.
