iOS Continuos Deployment support for Titanium using fastlane.tools. With TiFastlane you'll be able to fully optimize the way you submit your app updates and maintain your certificates and provisioning profiles on the App Store.
Building apps for iOS it's all great until you have to deal with Certificates, Provisioning Profiles and sending iTunes Connect. Then came fastlane.tools a collection of 9 tools that enable Continuous Deployment of iOS Apps.
TiFastlane it's a way to use those tools for Titanium development. Now you'll be able to do real continous deployment of your Titanium app. Sending your app for review will be a breeze:
tifast send
With TiFastlane you'll be able to fully optimize the way you submit your app updates and maintain your certificates and provisioning profiles.
Make sure, you have the latest version of the Xcode command line tools installed:
xcode-select --install
Then we need to download and install the Fastlane toolset that TiFastlane uses for all the magic.
sudo gem install fastlane
Finally we can install the TiFastlane CLI.
[sudo] npm install -g tifastlane
tifastlane or tifast must be executed from your Titanium App directory. It will automatically read your tiapp.xml to determine your App configuration for all the tools.
First we need to setup how TiFastlane will work on your app, run:
tifast setup
This will take you to a list of simple prompts to configure language, Apple ID and CLI to use when building your app. At the end of the process a tifastlane.cfg file will be created in your app project directory.
TiFastlane needs to initialize the configuration files needed to keep iTunes Connect updated with the correct information. If the app it's not in iTunes Connect then run to start fresh settings:
tifast init
If your app is already on iTunes Connect, then run the wizard which will automatically download all your current metadata and screenshots:
tifast init -s
You can view the current settings that would be used by running:
tifast status
You will see something like this:
Apple ID Username: contact@universopositivo.com.br
Name: Easy Ticket
AppId: br.com.universopositivo.easyTicket
Version: 1.0.0
CFBundleVersion: 107
GUID: "32cc538e-4fd3-4d6e-9999-870ce50ab039"
SKU: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
Register your Titanium App ID on the Apple Developer Program and iTunes Connect, and then generate the Provisioning Profiles for App Store, Ad Hoc and Development.
tifast register
Everything is done behind the scenes using produce and sigh. If the App ID already exists on the Developer Program or iTunes Connect it will be safely skipped.
For default provisiong profiles will be generated for all platforms, but if you wish you can target a single platform: appstore, adhoc or development.
tifast register <platform>
When you have a new version of your App that you wish to push to iTunes Connect, all you have to do is:
tifast send
TiFastalane will get Appcelerator to build the ipa. It will build it as AdHoc so we get an ipa, so make sure to select your App Store certificate so it works when sending it to iTunes Connect.
You might want to update only the metadata and/or screenshots of your App without having to submit a new version or binary. To do so use:
tifast send -m
This will login to iTunes Connect and update your app information based on your configuration, as well as uploading all the App screenshots.
After the build, then using deliver TiFastlane will login to iTunes Connect. It will automatically read the new version of your ipa and create a new version if necessary, upload the metadata, screenshots and finally your binary.
If you want to upload an Beta version of your app, you can do it by using:
tifast send -t
It will use pilot to communicate with iTunes Connect and upload your App, already sending it to beta internal test and notifying your testers.
Generate or rewnew your push certificates by using:
tifast pem [password]
For default certificates will be created for distribution using the password you define, if you want to target the development certificates then use:
tifast pem -d [password]
Each of TiFastlane's commands has it's own set of arguments you can use to further control. You can easily look at each avaiable argument with -h, for example:
tifast setup -h
All metadata and screenshots are easily maintained from the TiFLDelivery\APPID directory, here you will find the following files:
Deliveryfile
You can configure Price, Copyright, Developer Notes, etc. You can read the full documentation here.
./metadata/[LANG]/*.txt
In this directory you will see several text files with the contents of the metadata that is language dependant. By default it's only created with the EN_US language, but if you run the wizard and you support more language, you'll see them listed here.
./screenshots/[LANG]/.
As with metadata, screenshots support multi language. Based on the dimension of the images they will be correctly set to the appropiate device. The images are ordered alphabetically, so make sure to name them correctly to control the right display order.
