Continuous Integration with Microsoft App Center
Brief List of Things that Suck
- Drinking orange juice after brushing teeth
- The way Game of Thrones ended
- Deploying React Native apps manually
List of Things that Suck about deploying things manually
- Xcode is bad
- Managing provisioning profiles
- Apple
- iOS
- Android
- Needing to be an organized person
- Forgetting to tick version up +1
- Forgetting passwords (yikes)
- Getting a team on the same page
- Google Updates every 2 days
- Apple also updating things
- Time-consuming
- Losing track of provisioning profiles
- Xcode seriously is bad
- Android
- Not using fast lane
- No one else does it this way
Fastlane
- Helps automate tedious processes
- Handle code signing
- Automate deployment from beta to full release
- Flexible enough to work with many CI tools
However, I'm still too lazy for Fast Lane
Enter App Center
What does App Center do?
- Continuous Integration
- Testing
