From heroics to habit
Manual releases are error-prone. A pipeline makes shipping boring — which is exactly what you want.
The pipeline
- Run analysis and tests on every push.
- Build signed Android and iOS artifacts.
- Upload to Play Console and App Store Connect with Fastlane.
Lessons learned
Keep secrets in encrypted CI secrets, cache the pub and Gradle directories to keep builds fast, and gate releases behind a manual approval so a green pipeline never surprises you.
