No matter the project or stack we strive to automate the testing and deployment pipeline as much as possible. Mobile applications are no different, but do come with their own set of challenges between iOS and Android. We are happy to have a fully automated solution for both platforms that pieces together several fastlane tools to achieve an elegant solution.
We can share how all these pieces fit together to create a robust mobile app pipeline.
One day our iOS fastlane repository responsible for automatically renewing provisioning profiles and certificates started failing. We utilize match which was affected by this removal causing our provisioning profiles to not renew and thus application builds to fail. The error was suggesting that Apple was removing a parameter we depended on.
The provided entity includes an unknown attribute - 'templateName' is not an attribute on the resource 'profiles' - /data/attributes/templateName
This is our journey of solving it both as a temporary workaround and a long-term solution.
