fastlane Integration

Your Fastfile should look like this

lane :release do
  produce(
    username: '[email protected]',
    app_identifier: 'com.krausefx.app',
    app_name: 'MyApp',
    language: 'English',
    app_version: '1.0',
    sku: '123',
    team_name: 'SunApps GmbH' # only necessary when in multiple teams
  )

  deliver
end

To use the newly generated app in deliver, you need to add this line to your Deliverfile:

apple_id ENV['PRODUCE_APPLE_ID']

This will tell deliver, which App ID to use, since the app is not yet available in the App Store.

You'll still have to fill out the remaining information (like screenshots, app description and pricing). You can use deliver to upload your app metadata using a CLI

How is my password stored?

produce uses the password manager from fastlane. Take a look the CredentialsManager README for more information.
