iOS & Android Builds using Github Actions (Without Fastlane)
Learn the underlying xcode commands
This is a re-post from 4 years ago. I think it’s a good one to take a look at this week, because it isn’t discussed on many websites, how you can do all of this without a third party service.
Expo, Xcode Cloud, etc have all gotten better, it didn’t even exist at the time of this post.
What still applies today, is the fact that you can, if you want, build xcode apps from the command line, without any other tool in place.
Whether you want to do this or not, that’s another question.
In a few more weeks I’ll be back to all new posts.
The past few days I was attempting to auto deploy a react native app to App Center using Github actions. This process is the exact same for a fully native app, since we are running the normal xcode / gradle commands. I'll walk you through all the annoying things Apple put me through, so you don't have to. If you only want to build for Android, you can skip to that and be done in a few minutes... iOS setup is much more involved
