Published on raywenderlich.com, a leading source of information for mobile developers, this tutorial will give you a nice, thorough walkthrough of getting started with fastlane. One of the hassles with learning new DevOps tools is that you need a sample application to work with in addition to the tool that you’re learning. This tutorial handles that end of things for you. It includes a sample application as a download that you can use as you work through the tutorial, but you will need to subscribe to download the practice materials. After downloading the practice app, you’ll go through a full fastlane workflow, including automating screenshots and deployment to the App Store.

If you prefer to follow video tutorials, you’re in luck. This YouTube tutorial will let you follow along with the lead maintainer of fastlane, Josh Holtz, as he takes you from installation to a fully functional setup. Holtz has been a core contributor to fastlane since 2015 and has been the lead maintainer since 2018.

In this video walkthrough, you will start with a SwiftUI app with an iOS and macOS build target that doesn’t have any fastlane integration, and by the end, you will have installed and set up fastlane, and deployed apps to both the Developer Portal and App Store Connect. You will also build and code sign the app, and then submit the resulting binary to the App Store.

Finally, the fastlane docs offer a wealth of information, and they are easy to navigate. The docs cover all of the information discussed in the above resources, along with integration details for a variety of CI tools such as Jenkins, GitLab CI, Bitrise, and more.

You will also find in-depth coverage of advanced topics such as Fastfiles, Lanes, Actions, and more.

This list of fastlane resources will help you get up to speed and get started with fastlane. Do you have any other great fastlane tips or resources? Let us know in our MacStadium Community. We would love to hear from you!
