Being an iOS developer for the last 6 years, I have spent a lot of time dealing with code signing, preparing localized screenshots, and doing manual deployments. After working on my first Ruby on Rails application, I saw how easy the release of software could be, so I decided to build fastlane.
fastlane solves all of the problems around iOS tooling that larger mobile development teams experience as they grow—automatic building, code signing, screenshots, push certificates, and others. Before fastlane, most companies maintained their own shell scripts, resulting in breaking builds every other month due to changes in the Xcode build system.
In this book, Doron gives an introduction to fastlane, and how you can use it to optimize your mobile development process. While fastlane offers documentation online, this book is a great resource to get started with mobile app automation using fastlane. Doron did a great job going through the available fastlane features and how you can make use of them.
