ci

fastlane.ci was an open-source project designed to give mobile app teams their own self-hosted continuous integration system. In plain terms, it was meant to automatically handle the repetitive work of building, testing, and preparing mobile apps for release, all running on infrastructure the team controlled rather than on a third-party cloud service.

However, this project is deprecated as of September 2018. The team realized during development that it wasn't going to meet all the requirements they had set out to support. Rather than pushing forward with a solution they felt was lacking, they stopped active development to re-evaluate their entire approach. The existing source code remains publicly available for reference, but the project is no longer maintained, and no new issues or contributions are being accepted.

The broader fastlane toolset, which this project was built to extend, is still actively developed and widely used by mobile developers. It helps automate tasks like taking screenshots, managing code signing certificates, and publishing apps to the App Store or Google Play. The team is now focusing their energy on improving the core fastlane product by adding support for the new App Store Connect API, improving secure storage for build secrets, and enhancing compatibility with cross-platform development environments.

If you are looking for a continuous integration solution today, this specific repository will not serve that purpose. You can subscribe to the fastlane mailing list linked in the README to be notified if they launch a new continuous integration product in the future. In the meantime, the core fastlane tooling remains a popular choice for automating mobile app deployment tasks.
