Add non-expo with fastlane support

[dougg0k]

Hey, nice website.

Could you also add automation for different features non-expo (bare workflow) related, with Fastlane and Github Actions?

I would suggest also making it not tied to yarn, but give the options available, at least the main ones.

Thanks.

Fair with yarn, i will give an option on that,
Do you have any suggestions for automation for different features @dougg0k

[dougg0k]

I meant mostly in what fastlane can do https://fastlane.tools/

I asked github copilot to give a quick list, not all are needed, but I suppose the most important ones is already enough.

1. Automated Build Generation
Build iOS and Android apps from the command line.
Support for different build types
Easily manage build configurations.
2. Code Signing and Provisioning
Automatically manage iOS certificates and provisioning profiles with match.
Handle Android keystores securely.
Upload/retrieve signing credentials from remote storage (e.g., Git, Google Cloud, S3).
3. App Store & Play Store Deployment
Automatically upload new app versions to the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
Submit screenshots, metadata, and update release notes.
Manage beta releases (TestFlight for iOS, Internal/Alpha/Beta tracks for Play Store).
4. Automated Screenshots
Capture and upload localized screenshots for different devices and languages using snapshot (iOS) and screengrab (Android).
Resize and frame screenshots for required store formats.
5. Beta Distribution
Distribute builds to testers using TestFlight, Firebase App Distribution, Crashlytics Beta, or third-party services like HockeyApp.
6. Versioning Automation
Automatically increment version numbers and build numbers.
Tag releases in version control (Git).

Got it, will see to the same, what more tools can be added here and take inspiration from fastlane

[dougg0k]

Other tools would probably be different CI setup, other than github actions.

Having a github action runner would be a way to not reach spend limits.

Another thing could be OTA related tooling, but it requries more manual work, there is a bunch being released open source after codepush end. A well built one is https://github.com/gronxb/hot-updater

They (hot-updater) started adding implementations that will lead to fastlane / native work, they seem to plan to make their CLI more complete.

Hey @dougg0k! I'm picking this project back up and prioritizing features. Is bare workflow (non-expo) + Fastlane support still relevant for you? Also — we've since added npm and pnpm support alongside yarn, so that part of your request is covered! Would love to know if you're still interested.

[dougg0k]

Not at the moment. But I suppose that kind of information would be useful to others. Bare Workflow + Fastlane, that is.
