fastlane Plugin for Ionic CLI

fastlane Plugin Badge License Gem

This fastlane plugin helps you build your Ionic Cordova project via the ionic CLI and its ionic cordova build command.

It is based on fastlane-plugin-cordova (where it borrows a lot of its code. Thanks!).

Getting Started

This project is a fastlane plugin. To get started with fastlane-plugin-ionic, add it to your project by running:

fastlane add_plugin ionic

Actions

ionic

Runs ionic cordova build to build your Ionic project.

ionic(
  platform: 'ios', # Build your iOS Ionic project
)
ionic(
  platform: 'android', # Build your Android Ionic project
  release: false # Build a "Debug" app
) 

Examples

Lanes using these actions could look like this:

platform :ios do
  desc "Deploy ios app on the appstore"

  lane :deploy do
    match(type: "appstore")
    ionic(platform: 'ios')
    deliver(ipa: ENV['CORDOVA_IOS_RELEASE_BUILD_PATH'])
  end
end

platform :android do
  desc "Deploy android app on play store"

  lane :deploy do
    ionic(
      platform: 'android',
      keystore_path: './prod.keystore',
      keystore_alias: 'prod',
      keystore_password: 'password'
    )
    supply(apk: ENV['CORDOVA_ANDROID_RELEASE_BUILD_PATH'])
  end
end

with an Appfile such as

app_identifier "com.awesome.app"
apple_id "[email protected]"
team_id "28323HT"

If you're using Crosswalk, replace supply(apk: ENV['CORDOVA_ANDROID_RELEASE_BUILD_PATH']) (and equivalents) by:

supply(
  apk_paths: [
   'platforms/android/build/outputs/apk/android-armv7-release.apk',
   'platforms/android/build/outputs/apk/android-x86-release.apk'
  ],
)
