Thanks for tuning in to the devops for mobile apps update for july 13, 2022, I've got a demo of the new fastlane match integration which I'll get to in just a second. The first thing I want to do is go over some usage stats, real quick. The last two weeks we've got 83 projects that are using the secure files feature. That's up 76.

From the last update. We have 61 projects that have uploaded one or more files in the last two weeks, so that's up 12 and then 11 700 jobs have run so that's uh up 40 from the last update. So a lot of nice growth there really happy with that. So the next thing I'll go into. Is this fastlane match storage mode demo? This is something I've been working on with the fastlane open source project. If you don't know what fastlane is I've got a link here that explains this.

A little bit better and fastlane match is specifically focused on code signing for ios projects. So the first thing I want to show is the sample project that I've created.

This project is just a skeleton of what a mobile project would look like, so this is associated with a project in the apple developer portal, but it hasn't had any certificates created yet so the first thing I'm going to do with this integration is I'm going to init fastlane match, and so I'm just going over my console and I'm going to run bundle exec fast lane match in it, and what this is going to do is it's going to prompt me, for which storage mode do I want to use and the gitlab secure files is the new one.

So we're going to hit 4 for that, and then it's just going to ask for the project, and so this is the project id sms like that and paste it in here, and so that will do all the work of generating this file and so here's the file that it generates. This is the file that match uses to tell the project how to find its files. So basically, what we're telling it is, use this gitlab project and use the storage mode of secure files.

The next thing that that I want to show is how to actually run fastlane match, and so what this is going to do here is this is going to generate the certificates and the provisioning profile up in the apple developer portal and it's going to download those files and then upload them into the secure files backend in gitlab. Once I run this command you'll see it all happen. It takes a second to run, but now it's going to go through and do all that work all right. So that's done.

We can go over into the project in the ci cd settings and go down to secure files and see that we've uploaded the files here now when you go to run a fastlane build, it will have all the files that you need there so pretty easy to get started with that. There's one other component to this, that I won't demo that I just want to talk about real, quick, there's, also an import function.

This kind of does the same thing except it assumes that you've already generated all these files and it'll just prompt you for the path to those. Once you give it that it will then upload those files to gitlab and and then you're ready to go, I've also got a link here to the demo project. In case you want to go and reference it. That's it for the demo. Just a quick note of what I'm working on next I'm going to be focused on is a series of blog posts on mobile code signing.

I want to walk through how to do this, for android for ios give a few different options on how to get started. That is all I have for today, thanks for watching and see you next time.
