Mobile CI Fastlane Automation

Fastlane is an open-source Ruby tool that orchestrates mobile app release workflows. It sits between your code and app stores, automating build signing, testing, beta distribution, and production releases. Fastlane works with both iOS (Xcode, TestFlight) and Android (Gradle, Play Store). A Fastlane setup integrates with CI/CD (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins) so that pushing a tag or merging to main automatically builds, tests, and releases your app. Teams report release time dropping from 30 minutes (manual) to 2 minutes (automated).
