What this prompt does

This prompt sets up a complete mobile CI/CD pipeline for your [platform] app using Fastlane and [ci_provider]. It creates a Fastfile with your [lanes], code signing via [signing_approach], environment management for dev/staging/production, automated version bumping ([versioning_strategy]), beta distribution through [beta_channel], automated App Store and Play Store submission, screenshot automation for [screenshot_devices], changelog generation from git commits, Slack/Teams build notifications, and a rollback procedure. It includes match setup for iOS certificates, supply configuration for the Play Store, and secrets management with [secrets_manager].

The structure works because manual mobile releases are where mistakes hide. Code signing with match and automated version bumps remove the two steps people most often get wrong under release pressure, and a defined rollback lane means the time to plan for a bad build is before you ship one — not during the incident. Generating the changelog from commits and notifying a channel keeps the whole team aware of what shipped.

When to use it

  • You're releasing a [platform] app manually and want the whole path automated.
  • Code signing keeps breaking and you want match to manage certificates consistently.
  • You need consistent beta distribution through [beta_channel] before store releases.
  • You want automated version bumps and changelogs instead of hand-editing them.
  • You're setting up store submission and want it scripted with supply and Fastlane.
  • You need a rollback procedure ready before a bad build forces you to improvise one.

Example output

Expect a Fastfile defining your [lanes] (test, beta, release, screenshots), match configuration for iOS certificates, supply setup for Play Store uploads, environment configs, version-bump logic following [versioning_strategy], beta distribution to [beta_channel], screenshot automation for [screenshot_devices], commit-based changelog generation, notification hooks, and a rollback lane. Secrets are wired through [secrets_manager] rather than committed.

Pro tips

  • Keep certificates in match with a private git repo for [signing_approach]; shared, reproducible signing is what ends "works on my machine" release failures.
  • Define [lanes] for the real stages you ship — test, beta, release, screenshots — so each step is a single command anyone on the team can run.
  • Automate [versioning_strategy] (semantic version with auto-incremented build number) so two people never collide on a manual bump under pressure.
  • Store every credential in [secrets_manager], never in the repo; leaked signing keys and API tokens are expensive mistakes.
  • Build the rollback lane now and test it, because the moment you need it is the worst moment to write it.
  • Limit [screenshot_devices] to the few sizes the stores actually require, since screenshot automation is slow and each extra device multiplies run time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this prompt handle iOS code signing?
Yes. It configures Fastlane match with the `[signing_approach]` you choose, typically a private git repo, so certificates and provisioning profiles are shared and reproducible across machines and CI rather than managed by hand.
Which CI provider does it work with?
It targets the `[ci_provider]` you specify — GitHub Actions by default. Because the heavy lifting lives in Fastlane lanes, the pipeline ports to other CI providers with mostly the same Fastfile and minimal workflow changes.
Can it automate App Store and Play Store submission?
Yes. It scripts store uploads using Fastlane, with supply configured for the Play Store, and distributes betas through `[beta_channel]` first. You'll still manage store-listing metadata and any required manual review steps in each console.
Does it include a rollback plan?
It generates a rollback procedure as part of the pipeline, because the time to plan for a bad release is before you ship one. Test the rollback lane in advance so it works when you actually need it under pressure.
