fastlane is an open-source Ruby-based CLI tool that automates building, code signing, screenshot generation, and releasing of iOS, macOS, and Android apps. Developers define release workflows as 'lanes' in a Fastfile, integrating with App Store Connect, Google Play, TestFlight, and 400+ other services.

Use cases

  • automate iOS and Android app store releases
  • generate localized App Store and Google Play screenshots
  • distribute beta builds to TestFlight or Google Play
  • manage iOS code signing certificates and provisioning profiles
  • upload app metadata and screenshots to the App Store
  • run mobile release pipelines from CI
  • increment build numbers and version apps automatically

When to choose

  • you release iOS or Android apps frequently and want to automate builds, signing, and uploads
  • you need consistent, localized screenshots across many devices and languages
  • you want a single tool that works with App Store Connect, Google Play, and major beta services
  • you want repeatable release lanes that run locally or on any CI server

When to avoid

  • you build web apps or non-mobile software
  • you only need simple one-off builds without release automation
  • you are not comfortable with Ruby-based configuration and tooling
  • you need fully managed cloud release infrastructure rather than a local CLI
