fastlane for Android

This guide will show you step by step how to get started with fastlane for your Android project.

Initial setup

Install fastlane if you haven't already

sudo gem install fastlane --verbose

Navigate your terminal to your project directory and run

fastlane init

Feel free to skip any of these inputs by submitting with empty without entering anything.

Package Name

That's your package name, which usually looks something like com.krausefx.app

Google Play Access

To enable fastlane to access Google Play you have to follow these steps:

  • Open the Google Play Console
  • Open Settings => API-Access
  • Create a new Service Account - follow the link of the dialog
  • Create new Client ID
  • Select Service Account
  • Click Generate new P12 key and store the downloaded file
  • The Email address underneath Service account is the email address you have to enter as the Issuer
  • Back on the Google Play developer console, click on Grant Access for the newly added service account
  • Choose Release Manager from the dropdown and confirm

Issuer

Copy and paste the email address which looks like this 137123276006-aaaeltp0aqgn2opfb7tk46ovaaa3hv1g@developer.gserviceaccount.com

Keyfile

Store your p12 file in a secure place and pass the path to it here

Finishing up

You'll be asked if you want to start using supply. Do it if you plan on upload screenshots or binaries to Google Play.

Editing the configuration files

fastlane created 2 important files and a metadata folder for you

fastlane/Fastfile

This file contains the actual deployment process. It defines which steps to run in which order. Check out Actions.md for a list of all available integrations.

fastlane/Appfile

Contains basic metadata of your app that can be used by the actions you define in your Fastfile

fastlane/metadata/android

This folder contains the metadata fetched from Google Play. You can modify any values here and run supply to upload the updated metadata.

Next Steps

Go ahead and modify the Fastfile to fit your needs. You might want to add the API Keys to your crashlytics action or your Slack URL to show notifications in your Slack room.

To get a list of all available integrations run

fastlane actions --platform android

and to get more information about what a specific action does and the available parameters use

fastlane action [action_name]
