Developing in the Fastlane -> How LookLive uses Fastlane to automate and speed up the app deployment process
- 1. www.looklive.com@donnywals Developing in the Fastlane How LookLive uses Fastlane to automate and speed up the app deployment process
- 2. www.looklive.com@donnywals A typical deploy day.. Finalize code Hurry to write some tests Run tests Upload to Crashlytics Update release notes Upload to iTunes Connect Wait… Update (localized) app info Update (localized) screenshots Submit build Wait for review… Archive build Update build number Update release notes
- 3. www.looklive.com@donnywals That’s a lot of steps And I actually forgot a couple..
- 4. www.looklive.com@donnywals Fastlane to the rescue fastlane lets you define and run your deployment pipelines for different environments. It helps you unify your app’s release process and automate the whole process. fastlane connects all fastlane tools and third party tools, like CocoaPods and Gradle.
- 9. www.looklive.com@donnywals Feature-packed • A range of built in actions (incrementing build numbers, pushing to git, tagging your repo, crashlytics and more) • A lot of integrated tools (sigh, gym, scan, pilot and more)
- 10. www.looklive.com@donnywals Initial goals for LookLive Finalize code Hurry to write some tests Run tests Upload to Crashlytics Update release notes Upload to iTunes Connect Wait… Update (localized) app info Update (localized) screenshots Submit build Wait for review… Archive build Update build number Update release notes

- 26. www.looklive.com@donnywals Time saved: ± 15 minutes for a beta ± 30 minutes for metadata changes ± 4 hours for screenshot updates
- 27. www.looklive.com@donnywals Nice, but we can do more
- 28. www.looklive.com@donnywals Next level • Use snapshot to automate localised screenshots • Run fastlane on a Jenkins slave • Automate submitting for review
- 29. www.looklive.com@donnywals And that’s how we brought deployment to the Fastlane Check out the Fastfile at: https://gist.github.com/donnywals/02da9957696111f99248
