aws_s3 fastlane Plugin

Getting Started

This project is a fastlane plugin. To get started with fastlane-plugin-s3, add it to your project by running:

fastlane add_plugin aws_s3

About aws_s3

Upload a new build to Amazon S3 to distribute the build to beta testers. Works for both Ad Hoc and Enterprise signed applications. This step will generate the necessary HTML, plist, and version files for you.

The aws_s3 action can upload both iOS apps (IPAs) and Android apps (APKs). If you would like to upload both iOS and Android apps to the same bucket, you can set the app_directory parameter so each app goes into their own S3 bucket directory.

Below is what the default generated page looks like that gets hosted on S3.

Example

Add the aws_s3 action after the gym step:

aws_s3

You can also customize a lot of options:

aws_s3(
  # All of these are used to make Shenzhen's `ipa distribute:s3` command
  access_key: ENV['S3_ACCESS_KEY'],               # Optional - defaults to AWS Instance Profile Creds.
  secret_access_key: ENV['S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'], # Optional - defaults to AWS Instance Profile Creds.
  aws_profile: ENV['AWS_PROFILE'],                # Optional - defaults to AWS Instance Profile Creds. (overrides if access_key and secret_access_key specified)
  bucket: ENV['S3_BUCKET'],                       # Required from user.
  region: ENV['S3_REGION'],                       # Required from user.
  acl: ENV['S3_ACL'],                             # Optional - defaults to 'public-read'
  server_side_encryption: ENV['S3_SERVER_SIDE_ENCRYPTION'], # Optional

  endpoint: 'https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com', # Optional, for buckets that require a specific endpoint
  ipa: 'AppName.ipa',                             # Required (if not uploading an APK).
  dsym: 'AppName.app.dSYM.zip',                   # Optional if you use `ipa` to build.

  apk: 'AppName.apk',                             # Required (if not uploading an IPA).

  app_directory: 'ios_or_android',                # Optional but nice if you want to put multiple apps in same bucket

  path: 'v{CFBundleShortVersionString}_b{CFBundleVersion}/', # This is actually the default.
  upload_metadata: true,                          # Upload version.json, plist and HTML. Set to false to skip uploading of these files.
  version_file_name: 'app_version.json',          # Name of the file to upload to S3. Defaults to 'version.json'
  version_template_path: 'path/to/erb'            # Path to an ERB to configure the structure of the version JSON file
)

It is recommended to not store the AWS access keys in the Fastfile. You can use AWS Instance Profiles by attaching IAM roles to your EC2 configurations.

The uploaded version.json file provides an easy way for apps to poll if a new update is available. The JSON looks like:

{
    "latestVersion": "<%= full_version %>",
    "updateUrl": "itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=<%= url %>"
}
