Please migrate your produce calls from

produce(
    produce_username: '[email protected]',
    produce_app_identifier: 'com.krausefx.app',
    produce_app_name: 'MyApp',
    produce_language: 'English',
    produce_version: '1.0',
    produce_sku: 123,
    produce_team_name: 'SunApps GmbH' # only necessary when in multiple teams
)

to

produce(
    username: '[email protected]',
    app_identifier: 'com.krausefx.app',
    app_name: 'MyApp',
    language: 'English',
    version: '1.0',
    sku: 123,
    team_name: 'SunApps GmbH' # only necessary when in multiple teams
)

Basically only removing the produce prefix.

This is the first ever release of spaceship for iTunes Connect! 🚀

Sometimes you might have a lane that is used from different lanes, for example:

lane :production do
  ...
  build(release: true)
  appstore # Deploy to the AppStore
  ...
end

lane :beta do
  ...
  build(release: false)
  crashlytics # Distribute to testers
  ...
end

lane :build do |options|
  ...
  ipa
  ...
end

It probably doesn't make sense to execute the build lane directly using fastlane build. You can hide this lane using

private_lane :build do |options|
  ...
end

This will hide the lane from:

• fastlane lanes
• fastlane list
• fastlane docs

And also, you can't call the private lane using fastlane build.

The resulting private lane can only be called from another lane using the lane switching technology 🚀

This release also includes:

• Improved debug information when something goes wrong with an action
• Improved showing of build steps

• New get_github_release action to get a specific release from GitHub.com. This can be used to only submit an app when you properly added a tag and a description
• New git_branch action to quickly get the branch you're currently in
• New prompt action to ask the user for additional values or to get a confirmation from the user. You can specify default values that will be used on a CI-systems
• New puts action, never again write Helper.log.info again, just use puts
• Improved lane switching
• Added new attachment_properties to the Slack action (thanks @jeanregisser)
• Big internal refactor, nothing should change for your existing setups

One more thing: this is the first fastlane release that was completely automated using fastlane 🚀
