fastlane-plugin-ionic_conf

fastlane Plugin for Ionic CLI

This fastlane plugin helps you build your Ionic Cordova project via the ionic CLI.

It is based on fastlane-plugin-cordova (where it borrows a lot of its code. Thanks!).

Getting Started

This project is a fastlane plugin. To get started with fastlane-plugin-ionic, add it to your project by running:

fastlane add_plugin ionic

Actions

ionic

Runs ionic cordova build (technically: ionic cordova prepare first, then ionic cordova compile [which is the same as what build does internally]) to build your Ionic project.

ionic(
  platform: 'ios', # Build your iOS Ionic project
)
ionic(
  platform: 'android', # Build your Android Ionic project
  release: false # Build a "Debug" app
)

Examples

Lanes using these actions could look like this:

platform :ios do
  desc "Deploy ios app on the appstore"

  lane :deploy do
    match(type: "appstore")
    ionic(platform: 'ios')
    deliver(ipa: ENV['CORDOVA_IOS_RELEASE_BUILD_PATH'])
  end
end

platform :android do
  desc "Deploy android app on play store"

  lane :deploy do
    ionic(
      platform: 'android',
      keystore_path: './prod.keystore',
      keystore_alias: 'prod',
      keystore_password: 'password'
    )
    supply(apk: ENV['CORDOVA_ANDROID_RELEASE_BUILD_PATH'])
  end
end

with an Appfile such as

app_identifier "com.awesome.app"
apple_id "[e-mail]"
team_id "28323HT"

---

The ENV['CORDOVA_ANDROID_RELEASE_BUILD_PATH'] is only valid for cordova-android 7.x and newer (which you should be using anyway!).

If you're using Crosswalk (which oyu should not really be doing anymore), replace supply(apk: ENV['CORDOVA_ANDROID_RELEASE_BUILD_PATH']) (and equivalents) by:

supply(
  apk_paths: [
   'platforms/android/build/outputs/apk/android-armv7-release.apk',
   'platforms/android/build/outputs/apk/android-x86-release.apk'
  ],
)
