Automate development and production releases [$700]

[josancamon19]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Use Github Actions + Fastlane to automate releases to alpha and production channels. When pushing to development branch, it should push a version to Testflight, and for android it should push an alpha version, when pushing to production, it should create draft releases for each platform.

Describe the solution you'd like When someone pushes to development or main, it should do what mentioned above.

Describe alternatives you've considered CircleCI, and others.

Hi. I'd like to work on this task. Are you set on using fastlane? Or does codemagic work for you as well?

[vinayshankardubey]

Hi I am working on it, I am using Github Action

[pratikbaid3]

@josancamon19 any chance you can assign the tasks that are already being worked on. This will prevent engineering waste. Thanks.

If this doesn't get done, I'd be willing to make my own PR, but I wont start unless I'm asked to. I'm the kind of person to make it super clear, so you'll know exactly what secrets to set in the repo. Just let me know.

Thanks @josancamon19 I am working on it

Hi @josancamon19 ,

Hope you are doing well. As you have assigned me this task, finally I have implemented this functionality.

Now I'm able to create build, APK for android and IPA for iOS.after every push request on main branch. Currently this is generating debug build for android, for creating release build I need upload-keystore.jks file which is not available in the project file.

After this my plan is, Please provide credentials and make plan to deploy build directly on "Play Store" after build creation.

Please find below screenshots for check my work progress and also you can check my repo from here : https://github.com/vinayshankardubey/Friend

Sure @raymondyegon !

But write now this functionality is not completed please provide upload-keystore.jks so I can create release build for Android also, through CI/CD.Right now this code is on my github repo which I have forked from real project.

Please just guide me how can I put my functionality on real project because I also need access of real project to create TOKEN key which is needed at the time or running action, you can also create this.

I am creating PR and Guide also.

Thanks. @josancamon19

Please send me a DM on discord @josancamon19 I'll share the jks key there, the key has to go as a secret btw, so that it is not exposed.

Hi Team,

I have just created a push request in development branch. Right now I have set this action will perform on push request on "main branch" and pull and push request on "development"

It's working properly at my end now we need to test it at real project.

Please take pull request of "development branch" but before pull request please help me to add two secret's on project "Secrets and Variable" section.

1. Secret TOKEN : Make sure it name should be "TOKEN"
2. upload-keystore.jks in Base64 format : I am using this because of security purpose generate bas64 format of upload-keystore.jks and add that key in secret with the name "SECRET_JKS"

Please help me to add these two dependencies then you can test it and please don't forget to give me feedback and suggestions if any.

Hi Team,

Today I am going to integrate Fastlane.

Thanks.

[vinayshankardubey]

Hi Team,

I have implemented Fastlane. Just going for a final try But for making release on testflight and play store I need below credetials for configure in Appfiles for both cases.

iOS : app_identifier("[[APP_IDENTIFIER]]") # The bundle identifier of your app apple_id("[[APPLE_ID]]") # Your Apple Developer Portal username

itc_team_id("[[XXXXX]]") # App Store Connect Team ID team_id("[XXXXX]]") # Developer Portal Team ID

Android : Service Account JSON file: This file contains the credentials for your Google Play Developer API service account.

So please provide me credential so that I can head for next process.

Thanks
