Common Interview Questions

  • Q: How does Gradle build cache help CI? A: Describe data policy explicitly: freshness and invalidation rules, canonical local source, deterministic merge logic, and duplicate prevention with stable keys.
  • Q: How do you automate Play Store uploads? A: Use a delivery pipeline narrative: separate pre-submit and post-submit checks, gate promotion on quality signals, roll out gradually, and keep an immediate halt path.
  • Q: How do you detect config drift in CI? A: Use a delivery pipeline narrative: separate pre-submit and post-submit checks, gate promotion on quality signals, roll out gradually, and keep an immediate halt path.
