fastlane

• Added dsym_zip action (thanks @lmirosevic)
• You can now use different Apple IDs for deliver than for the rest of integrations
• Fixed problem when naming fastlane folder .fastlane (thanks @skywinder)
• Added output_style parameter for modifying xcpretty output (thanks @lmirosevic)

Resolved some issues introduced with the recent updates

tldr: You might need to update your Fastfile using the MigrationGuide.

The biggest change of fastlane yet 💥

126 new commits, all added over the weekend (crazy me, @joshdholtz and @milch 🚀), all in one giant pull request.

The fastlane actions now use a completely new way to offer configuration: Up until now, every action handled configuration, default values and validation on its own.

I took all that and moved it into fastlane_core to have all in a centralised code base.

Why?

• You now have the same API style for all fastlane actions
• All available parameters can now be set as either arguments or environment variables
• Much better error handling and test coverage thanks to a centralised system
• Better generated documentation when using fastlane actions
• Less boiler code for each action

What has changed for me?

I tried to adapt fastlane to not require a lot of changes in your Fastfile. There are only 3 actions that need to be adapted: I published a short MigrationGuide.

These changes were necessary to support future development. The plan is to release a 1.0.0 later next week. This was the first and only time there were breaking changes in fastlane.

Future

We have to think about our future. We want it to be bright 🔆 and fast 🚀!

That's why this change enables fastlane doing so much cool new stuff in future releases, I'm super excited about what's coming next!

One more thing

The code coverage of fastlane was improved to:

The updated fastlane_core has a similar coverage:

fastlane now supports multiple platforms, right now iOS and Mac 🚀

• Every action now specifies support for the different platforms 🔓
• fastlane generates a nice documentation of the new Fastfile using fastlane docs 📖
• Auto completion of all actions for a platform: e.g. fastlane ios will list all iOS lanes 🚘
• A lot of internal refactorings and enhanced tests 🏭

The example below demonstrates what's possible. But don't worry, if you're using fastlane for iOS only, you will not notice any changes at all 😃

before_all do
  puts "This block is executed before every action of all platforms"
end

platform :ios do
  before_all do
    cocoapods
  end

  lane :beta do
    ipa
    hockey
  end

  after_all do
    puts "Finished iOS related work"
  end
end

platform :mac do
  lane :beta do
    xcodebuild
    hockey
  end
end

after_all do
  puts "Executed after every lane of both Mac and iPhone"
  slack
end

Execute lanes like this:

fastlane ios beta

fastlane mac beta

• You can now use PEM right in fastlane. This will automatically create a new push profile if needed 🚀 (Thanks @aafa for working on PEM)
• Improved the documentation generated when using fastlane docs 📖

This release was kindly sponsored by Product Hunt 🌟

• Use fastlane docs to generate a markdown based documentation of all your lanes. 📖
• The ipa action now shows much more useful information while building and on errors 🚀
• slack messages now handle super long messages much better 👍
• Fixed a bug in increment_build_number handling non string values

Example documentation for lanes:

desc "Create new screenshots for all the devices"
desc "This will use `snapshot` to interact with the app"
lane :screenshots do
  snapshot
end

This will generate a new markdown file in ./fastlane/README.md to view right on GitHub 👍

Example lane documentation:

Fixed a problem with the deliver integration when no ipa file was used and only app metadata was uploaded.

• New fastlane lanes command: List all available lanes right from your terminal 🎉

  scheme: "MyApp",
  workspace: "MyApp.xcworkspace"
)

xcbuild

xcbuild(
  scheme: "MyApp",
  workspace: "MyApp.xcworkspace"
)

xcclean

xcclean
