  'url': {
          type: 'url',
          defaultValue: 'http://my.server.org/eden',
          writable: false,

    # Generate Private Key (just once, outside the eden_mobile folder)
    # keytool comes with your JRE, so may need to ensure it's bin directory is in your PATH
    keytool -genkey -v -keystore my-release-key.jks -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000 -alias my-alias
    # Optimise (zipalign comes with Android SDK build-tools, so may need to ensure it's in your PATH, e.g. %USERPROFILE%\AppData\local\android\sdk\build-tools\29.0.3)
    zipalign -v -p 4 app-release-unsigned.apk app-release-unsigned-aligned.apk
    # Sign (apksigner comes with Android SDK build-tools too)
    apksigner sign --ks my-release-key.jks --out app-release.apk app-release-unsigned-aligned.apk
