Building our first lane4:13
Create a custom Android fastlane lane that builds with Gradle assemble release and uploads the APK to Google Play via supply using the alpha track.
Auto-increment our builds3:54
Building beta and production lanes6:37
Define separate beta and production lanes for releases, automating environment variables with a .env.default file so fastlane loads keystore settings and tracks without manual exports.
Executing our Alpha lane1:33
execute the alpha lane with fastlane to increment the version code, build with gradle, and upload metadata and screenshots to the google play store, with verbose output showing success.
Post execution of our first lane execution1:08

Considerations for Cocoapods4:02
Explore how CocoaPods, a dependency manager for iOS, integrates with Fastlane to configure build and TestFlight lanes using a workspace rather than a project.
Metadata and screenshot preparation6:15
You would typically want to use your own screenshots in this case, but for instructional purposes, fill free to use the screenshots and icons in the resources section of this lecture.
Upload to Testflight3:34
Learn to upload an ipa to TestFlight automatically with bundle exec Fastlane beta, then manage testers and prepare for production release in App Store Connect.
Preparation for App Store submission3:21

Requirements

A macOS computer is required for the iOS sections.

Description

Fastlane has revolutionized the application deployment process. No longer will you have to manually build, sign, and upload your APK's and IPA's manually. Fastlane will take care of that for you. Fastlane also automates the metadata, screenshot, certificate, and provisioning profile setup so you don't have to. If you are serious about deploying apps to the Android and iOS app stores, Fastlane is a must have for your toolkit portfolio.

With this course, we will dive deep into the inner workings of Fastlane. By the end of the course, you will be able to intelligently talk about the app deployment process and how Fastlane automates each task. We do this by breaking down each step piece by piece using a visual based learning approach with flow diagrams and charts. You will also be able to follow me step by step in a real app deployment process.
