fastlane

✨ Check out docs.fastlane.tools on how to get started with fastlane ✨

fastlane is a tool for iOS and Android developers to automate tedious tasks like generating screenshots, dealing with provisioning profiles, and releasing your application.

Use a lane to define your process:

lane :beta do
  increment_build_number
  cocoapods
  match
  testflight
  sh "./customScript.sh"
  slack
end

Then to deploy a new ‘beta’ version of your app just run fastlane beta :rocket:

Metrics

fastlane tracks a few key metrics to understand how developers are using the tool and to help us know what areas need improvement. No personal/sensitive information is ever collected. Metrics that are collected include:

• The number of successes, errors, and crashes for fastlane and each action run in a Fastfile
• The running time of fastlane
• The method by which fastlane was installed
• Whether fastlane is being run on CI
• The platform (e.g. iOS, Android) for which fastlane is run
• A hash of the app identifier or package name, which helps us anonymously identify unique usage of fastlane

We have recently changed the destination service to which these metrics are reported, as well as the format of the data, but the data that is collected has not changed.

You can easily opt-out of metrics collection by adding opt_out_usage at the top of your Fastfile or by setting the environment variable FASTLANE_OPT_OUT_USAGE. Participating helps us provide the best possible support for fastlane, so we hope you’ll consider it a plus! :heavy_plus_sign:

Crash Reporting

In order to continuously improve stability, fastlane will record crash reports with sanitized stacktraces. Sanitization removes personal information from the stacktrace and error message (including home directories, fastlane path, gem paths, environment variables, and parameters).

You can easily opt-out of crash reporting by adding opt_out_crash_reporting at the top of your Fastfile or by setting the environment variable FASTLANE_OPT_OUT_CRASH_REPORTING. Just like metrics mentioned above, participating helps us provide the best possible support for fastlane, so we hope you’ll consider it a plus! :heavy_plus_sign:
