How to make a release

Apple

  • test the build on a real device. It is imperative that you run selftest and it gives you OK
  • if necessary, up version number in all relevant files (you can use ./edit-version-number.sh)
  • run ./scripts/release-notes.sh - it prints changelog between latest tag and now, put this output under new version in file ios/fastlane/metadata/en-US/release_notes.txt (on top); if file got too big delete the oldest version from the bottom of the file
  • now is a good time to commit a ver bump and release notes changes
  • create this release version in App Store Connect (iTunes) and attach appropriate build. note last 4 digits of the build and announce it - this is now a RC. no need to fill release notes yet
  • cd ios/ and then run DELIVER_USERNAME="my_itunes_email@example.com" DELIVER_PASSWORD="my_itunes_password" fastlane deliver --force --skip_binary_upload --skip_screenshots --ignore_language_directory_validation -a org.bitflate.app --app_version "6.6.6" but replace 6.6.6 with your version number - this will upload release notes to all locales in itunes
  • go back to App Store Connect and press Submit for Review. choose Yes, we use identifiers - for installs tracking
  • once its approved and released it is safe to cut a release tag: run git tag -m "REL v6.6.6: 76ed479" v6.6.6 -s where 76ed479 is a latest commit in this version. replace the version as well. then run git push origin --tags; alternative way to tag: git tag -a v6.0.0 2e1a00609d5a0dbc91bcda2421df0f61bdfc6b10 -m "v6.0.0" -s
  • you are awesome!

Android

  • do android after ios usually
  • test the build on a real device. We hace accounts with browserstack where you can do so.
  • its imperative that you run selftest and it gives you OK. note which build you are testing
  • go to appcenter.ms, find this exact build under master builds, and press Distribute -> Store -> Production. in Release notes write the release, this field is to smaller than iOS, so you need to keep it bellow 500 characters.
  • now just wait till appcenter displays a message that it is succesfully distributed
  • noice!
