-------######fastlane lets you define and run your deployment pipelines for different environments. It helps you unify your apps release process and automate the whole process. fastlane connects all fastlane tools and third party tools, like CocoaPods and xctool.

- Connect all tools, part of the
fastlane
toolchain to work seamlessly together - Define different
deployment lanes
for App Store deployment, beta builds or testing - Deploy from any computer
- Jenkins Integration: Show the output directly in the Jenkins test results
- Write your own actions (extensions) to extend the functionality of
fastlane
- Store data like the
Bundle Identifier
or yourApple ID
once and use it across all tools - Never remember any difficult commands, just
fastlane
- Easy setup, which helps you getting up and running very fast
- Shared context, which is used to let the different deployment steps communicate with each other
- Store everything in git. Never lookup the used build commands in the
Jenkins
configs - Saves you hours of preparing app submission, uploading screenshots and deploying the app for each update
- Very flexible configuration using a fully customizable
Fastfile
- Once up and running, you have a fully working Continuous Deployment process. Just trigger
fastlane
and you're good to go. - Over 30 built-in integrations available
Take a look at the fastlane website for more information about why and when to use fastlane
.
Thanks to all sponsors and contributors for extending and improving the fastlane

Check out the project pages of the other tools for more sponsors and contributors.
I recommend following the fastlane guide to get started.
If you are familiar with the command line and Ruby, install fastlane
yourself:
sudo gem install fastlane
Make sure, you have the latest version of the Xcode command line tools installed:
xcode-select --install
If you want to take a look at a project, already using fastlane
, check out the fastlane-example project on GitHub.
The setup assistent will create all the necessary files for you, using the existing app metadata from iTunes Connect.
cd [your_project_folder]
fastlane init
- Follow the setup assistent, which will set up
fastlane
for you - Further customise the
Fastfile
using the next section
For a more detailed setup, please follow the fastlane guide.
Why should you have to remember complicated commands and parameters?
Store your configuration in a text file to easily deploy from any computer.
Open the Fastfile
using a text editor and customise it even further. (Switch to Ruby Syntax Highlighting)
You can define multiple lanes
which are different workflows for a release process.
Examples are: appstore
, beta
and test
.
You define a lane
like this (more details about the commands in the Actions section):
lane :appstore do
increment_build_number
cocoapods
xctool
snapshot
sigh
deliver
frameit
sh "./customScript.sh"
slack
end
To launch the appstore
lane run
fastlane appstore
When one command fails, the execution will be aborted.
- CocoaPods: Setup your CocoaPods project
- increment_build_number: Increment the Xcode build number before building the app
- snapshot: Automate taking localized screenshots of your iOS app on every device
- xctool: Run tests of your app
- Testmunk: Run integration tests on real devices
- gcovr: Generate summarized code coverage reports
- cert: Automatically create and maintain iOS code signing certificates
- sigh: Create and maintain your provisioning profiles
- resign: Re-Sign an existing ipa file
- ipa: Build your app for further use of the uploading section
- xcode_select: Set a path to a custom Xcode installation
- xcodebuild: Archive, build, clean, test or export your app.
- deliver: Upload screenshots, metadata and your app to the App Store
- HockeyApp: Upload beta builds to Hockey App
- Crashlytics Beta: Upload beta builds to Crashlytics Beta
- DeployGate: Upload beta builds to DeployGate
- ensure_git_status_clean: Makes sure, the git repository is in a clean state
- commit_version_bump: Automatically commit the version bump of your project
- add_git_tag: Automatically add a git tag
- push_to_git_remote: Push local commits to a git remote
- reset_git_repo: Reset the git repository after the
fastlane
run
Send success and error messages:
- frameit: Put your screenshots into the right device frames
- produce: Create new iOS apps on iTunes Connect and Developer Portal
- clean_build_artifacts: Cleans up temporary files created by
sigh
and the other tools - team_id: Select a team ID for the Apple Developer Portal if you are in multiple teams
This block will get executed before running the requested lane. It supports the same actions as lanes.
before_all do |lane|
cocoapods
end
This block will get executed after running the requested lane. It supports the same actions as lanes.
It will only be called, if the selected lane was executed successfully.
after_all do |lane|
say "Successfully finished deployment (#{lane})!"
slack({
message: "Successfully submitted new App Update"
})
sh "./send_screenshots_to_team.sh" # Example
end
This block will get executed when an error occurs, in any of the blocks (before_all, the lane itself or after_all).
error do |lane, exception|
slack({
message: "Something went wrong with the deployment.",
success: false
})
end
Why only use the default actions? Create your own to extend the functionality of fastlane
.
The build step you create will behave exactly like the built in actions.
Just run fastlane new_action
. Then enter the name of the action and edit the generated Ruby file in fastlane/actions/[action_name].rb
.
From then on, you can just start using your action in your Fastfile
.
If you think your extension can be used by other developers as well, let me know, and we can bundle it with fastlane
.
The Jenkins
setup was moved to Jenkins.md.
