I\u2019m happy to announce the supply of Fastlane<\/a> in your AWS CodeBuild<\/a> for macOS environments. AWS CodeBuild is a totally managed steady integration service that compiles supply code, runs assessments, and produces ready-to-deploy software program packages.<\/p>\n

Fastlane is an open supply device suite designed to automate numerous facets of cellular software growth. It gives cellular software builders with a centralized set of instruments to handle duties akin to code signing, screenshot era, beta distribution, and app retailer submissions. It integrates with common steady integration and steady deployment (CI\/CD) platforms and helps each iOS and Android growth workflows. Though Fastlane affords vital automation capabilities, builders might encounter challenges throughout its setup and upkeep. Configuring Fastlane could be complicated, notably for groups unfamiliar with the syntax and package deal administration system of Ruby. Holding Fastlane and its dependencies updated requires ongoing effort, as a result of updates to cellular platforms or third-party companies might necessitate changes to current workflows.<\/p>\n

When we launched CodeBuild for macOS in August 2024<\/a>, we knew that certainly one of your challenges was to put in and keep Fastlane in your construct atmosphere. Though it was attainable to manually set up Fastlane in a customized construct atmosphere, at AWS, we take away the undifferentiated heaving lifting out of your infrastructure<\/a> so you may spend extra time on the facets that matter for what you are promoting. Beginning in the present day, Fastlane is put in by default, and you should use the acquainted command fastlane construct<\/code>in your buildspec.yaml<\/code> file.<\/p>\n

Fastlane and code signing
<\/strong><\/span>To distribute an software on the App Retailer, builders should signal their binary with a non-public key generated on the Apple Developer portal. This non-public key, together with the certificates that validates it, should be accessible throughout the construct course of. This generally is a problem for growth groups as a result of they should share the event non-public key (which permits deployment on chosen check units) amongst group members. Moreover, the distribution non-public key (which allows publishing on the App Retailer) should be obtainable throughout the signing course of earlier than importing the binary to the App Retailer.<\/p>\n

Fastlane is a flexible construct system in that it additionally helps builders with the administration of growth and distribution keys and certificates. Builders can use fastlane match<\/code> to share signing supplies in a group and make them securely and simply accessible on particular person builders\u2019 machines and on the CI atmosphere. match<\/code> permits the storage of personal keys, the certificates, and the cellular provisioning profiles on a secured share storage. It makes certain that the native construct atmosphere, whether or not it\u2019s a developer laptop computer or a server machine within the cloud, stays in sync with the shared storage. At construct time, it securely downloads the required certificates to signal your app and configures the construct machine to permit the codesign<\/code> utility to select them up.<\/p>\n

match<\/code> permits the sharing of signing secrets and techniques by GitHub, GitLab, Google Cloud Storage, Azure DevOps, and Amazon Easy Storage Service (Amazon S3)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When you already use certainly one of these and also you\u2019re migrating your tasks to CodeBuild, you don\u2019t have a lot to do. You solely want to verify your CodeBuild construct atmosphere has entry to the shared storage (see step 3 within the demo).<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s see the way it works
<\/strong><\/span>When you\u2019re new to Fastlane or CodeBuild, let\u2019s see the way it works.<\/p>\n

For this demo, I begin with an current iOS venture<\/a>. The venture is already configured to be constructed on CodeBuild. You’ll be able to discuss with my earlier weblog submit, Add macOS to your steady integration pipelines with AWS CodeBuild<\/a>, to study extra particulars.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll present you the right way to get began in three steps:<\/p>\n
