pantograph

pantograph is another way to automate releases for your apps. 🚀 It handles all tedious tasks, like generating screenshots, dealing with code signing, and releasing your application.

You can start by creating a Pantfile file in your repository, here’s one that defines your release process:

lane :release do
  test_app
  build_app
  deploy_app
end

lane :test_app do
  gradle(task: 'clean testRelease')
end

lane :build_app do
  gradle(task: 'clean assembleRelease')
end

lane :deploy_app do
  artifactory
  slack # Let your team-mates know the new version is live
end

You just defined 4 different lanes, one for release deployement. To release your app, all you have to do is:

pantograph release
