Fastlane: deploy ios and android like a boss
- 1 minutes readSorry, we can’t deploy, Jane is on vacation
Your team shouldn’t rely on only one person to release your mobile apps.
Once again, I gave a presentation at the SagLacIO. This time, it was about Fastlane. Here are a few links to get you started.
Getting started
Install ruby and start having fun:
sudo gem install fastlane
fastlane init
Then follow instructions. If your app has both ios and android (ex; cordova, ionic, react native, hybrid project), I recommend starting with ios. You can add android support later by following the android documentation.
