fastlane VS react-native-code-push

Fastlane: For mobile development, Fastlane is an automation tool that can automate the building and releasing of iOS and Android apps.

The 20 testers closed beta should be very easy to automate through Fastlane and a script, I think https://www.20testers.com/ is already using this, seeing that they say "We run automated tests on 20 separate Google accounts for 14 consecutive days. The testing involves interacting with your app in a human-like manner - pressing buttons, filling in inputs, etc.".

Fastlane is an open-source platform designed to simplify Android and iOS deployment. It allows you to automate every aspect of your development and release workflow.

-> You can use codepush. -> If you like me, you can use fastlane https://fastlane.tools/ -> You can use Expo OTA without use expo too :)

Building your app using only GitHub Actions is possible, but it's definitely not a straightforward process. There are tools such as Fastlane and of course XCode Cloud that simplifies this process, however my goal was a solution that was not dependent on third party libraries or services.

Yep, MIT licensed FOSS just like Godot itself :)

Fastlane - self-hosted solution for building apps on a "box in the closet".

Your testing team is using AppCenter.

Appcenter will allow you to build your app for iOS and install on your device without submitting to the App Store. https://appcenter.ms/

I used expo-updates with a CI script to push updates. CodePush is also a good alternative.

We've been using app center for build distribution (https://appcenter.ms/)

But, https://appcenter.ms/ and others like it are already available with generous free tiers and a lot more features (which you don't have to use, but can grow into), not to mention GitHub actions as others have noted. Does this advantages over existing, standard solutions?

There are lots of choices. Google android device testing. Offhand https://appcenter.ms comes to mind.

you don t need a mac, use microsofts app center to build it. https://appcenter.ms

I've heard good things about App Center from Microsoft https://appcenter.ms/

Don’t muck with automating simulators, it’s a PITA: we used https://aws.amazon.com/device-farm/ and it was ok. This was pretty ok: https://bitrise.io As much as I hate Microsoft, https://appcenter.ms was workable, but required the most calories and was slow.
