Publishing with Fastlane

Automating uploads to Apple AppStore and Android Play Store is a great way to save time on this otherwise manual, lengthy and error-prone process.

NativeScript apps are built like any other native app, so publishing with Fastlane is generally a straight-forward process, allowing for customizations along the way to suit the project needs.

What we're setting up ​

In this guide we'll set up the following:

• automatic certificate handling via Fastlane-match
• automatic ios builds that bump the build number, and upload to TestFlight
• automatic android builds that bump the buiod number, and upload to a Play Store Internal Test Track
• ...

General Fastlane setup ​

Add a Gemfile to the root of the project:

source "https://rubygems.org"

gem "cocoapods"
gem "dotenv"
gem "fastlane"

# Optional: if using Fastlane plugins in a Pluginfile
# plugins_path = File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), 'fastlane', 'Pluginfile')
# eval_gemfile(plugins_path) if File.exist?(plugins_path)
