How to Use Fastlane for Android (with examples)

General News

Summary

Often, we wind up bringing in various Gradle plugins to integrate with tools, or worse—take matters into our own hands by manually notifying our teammates of new builds or uploading APKs directly to Google Play. In comes Fastlane, a tool to automate all of these repetitive tasks, from building and testing to notifying our teammates and deploying to Google Play. We will need to provide the package name, press enter when asked for the path to our JSON secret key, and answer when asked about uploading to Google Play; we will set up our secret key and Google Play uploads later. We use Fabric’s Crashlytics Beta to deploy our test builds; Fastlane offers excellent support for this. When we submit a new build to Crashlytics, we can send out a Slack notification, closing the loop with the Test Engineers.
