Setting up Fastlane

Navigate your terminal to your project’s directory and run

fastlane init

You’ll be asked to confirm that you’re ready to begin, and then for a few pieces of information. To get started quickly:

  1. Provide the package name for your application
  2. Press enter when asked for the path to your JSON secret file
  3. Answer ‘n’ when asked if you plan on uploading info to Google Play via fastlane (we can set this up later)

That’s it! fastlane will automatically generate a configuration for you based on the information provided.

You can see the newly created ./fastlane directory, with the following files:

  • Appfile which defines configuration information that is global to your app
  • Fastfile which defines the “lanes” that drive the behavior of fastlane
    • default_platform(:android)
platform :android do
	lane :beta do
		path = '../app/build.gradle'
		re = /versionCode\s+(\d+)/
		s = File.read(path)
		versionCode = s[re, 1].to_i
		s[re, 1] = (versionCode + 1).to_s
		f = File.new(path, 'w')
		f.write(s)
		f.close
		releaseFilePath = File.join(Dir.pwd, "../app/", "YOUR_KEY_STORE_FILE_NAME")

		gradle(task: 'clean')

		gradle(
			task: 'bundle',	
			build_type: 'Release',	
			print_command: false,	
			properties: {
				"android.injected.signing.store.file" => releaseFilePath,
				"android.injected.signing.store.password" => "STORE_PASSWORD",
				"android.injected.signing.key.alias" => "MY_KEY_ASIAS",
				"android.injected.signing.key.password" => "SIGNING_PASSWORD",
			})

		upload_to_play_store(
			track: 'internal'
		)
	end
end
