- 3. State of iOS Development at Experion Technologies
- 4. • We use Swift for all new projects • We have delivered about 15 iOS projects developed using Swift in past 2 years • All our developers are trained to work with Swift • We still use Objective-C — mostly for legacy code base • Modern tools and workflows to deliver projects
- 6. the best tools are…
- 7. something that works well for your team
- 10. fastlane lets you define and run your deployment pipelines for different environments
- 11. It helps you unify your app’s release process and automate the whole process
- 12. fastlane connects all fastlane tools and third party tools, like CocoaPods
- 13. lanes
- 14. lanes are typically deployment pipelines and the recipe is yours
- 32. tools
- 33. upload screenshots, metadata and your app to the App Store using a single command.
- 34. automate taking localized screenshots of your iOS app on every device
- 35. quickly put your screenshots into the right device frames
- 36. automatically generate and renew your push notification profiles
- 37. because you would rather spend your time building stuff than fighting provisioning
- 38. create new iOS apps on iTunes Connect and Developer Portal using the command line
- 39. automatically create and maintain iOS code signing certificates
- 40. the easiest way to run tests of your iOS and Mac app
- 41. building your iOS app has never been easier
- 42. easily sync your certificates and profiles across your team using Git
- 43. the best way to manage your TestFlight testers and builds from your terminal

- 73. $ vim ~/.zshrc RBENV_VERSION="system" export PATH="~/.rbenv/shims:/usr/local/bin:/usr/ sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/sbin:~/.rvm/bin" eval "$(rbenv init -)"
- 74. .gitignore make sure you don’t include fastlane generated files in your repo
- 75. gitignore.io pro tip: use it in commandline
- 76. frameit you need to download the templates from apple’s website. tool will point you to right place for the first time setup.
- 78. app icons Your app icons needs to be configured properly to upload to App Store. use utilities like makeappicon.com to generate required images size.
- 79. CI Environment Variables It’s not a good idea to embed the secret keys and files within the code/repo. Use environment variables, settings and integration features of CI Server to secure your data
- 80. use private repos there are several bots pulling out keys and content from the public github repo. don’t put your projects at risk. 🔐
- 81. auto build number increment to automate the build number increment, you have to set the version in the project’s build settings https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/qa/ qa1827/_index.html
- 82. TestFlight Build# + 1 increment_build_number({ build_number: latest_testflight_build_number + 1 })
- 83. change log from commits # Collects commits since your last tag and returns a concatenation of their subjects and bodies changelog_from_git_commits
- 84. Actions This is an ultimate guide to bring best out of your fastlane pipeline. This guide contains documentation on fastlane actions to extend fastlane tools. github.com/fastlane/fastlane/blob/ master/fastlane/docs/Actions.md
- 85. match A handy utility to securely share your certificates and provision files across the systems. Quite useful when you work with CI servers and multiple machines
- 86. where to go from here?
