The TestApp is currently being used as a dummy app by Circle CI for nightly jobs. The challenge comes when testing the arm64 build as we don't have a way to code-sign our TestApp. This is where Fastlane came to rescue. Fastlane is a trendy automation tool for building and managing iOS applications. It also works seamlessly with Circle CI. We are going to leverage the import_certificate
action, which can install developer certificates on CI machines. See Fastfile
for more details.
For simulator build, we run unit tests as the last step of our CI workflow. Those unit tests can also be run manually via the fastlane scan
command.
