About App Center

With App Center you can continuously build, test, release, and monitor your apps. This plugin provides an appcenter_upload action which allows you to upload and release distribute apps to your testers on App Center as well as to upload .dSYM files to collect detailed crash reports in App Center.

Usage

To get started, first, obtain an API token in App Center. The API Token is used to authenticate with the App Center API in each call.

appcenter_upload(
  api_token: "<appcenter token>",
  owner_name: "<your appcenter account name>",
  app_name: "<your app name>",
  apk: "<path to android build binary>",
  notify_testers: true # Set to false if you don't want to notify testers of your new release (default: `false`)
)

The action parameters api_token and owner_name can also be omitted when their values are set as environment variables. Below a list of all available environment variables:

Sample uses .env for setting private variables like API token, owner name, .etc. You need to replace it in Fastfile by your own values.

There are three examples in test lane:

upload release for android with minimum required parameters
upload release for ios with all set parameters
upload only dSYM file for ios

Run tests for this plugin

To run both the tests, and code style validation, run

rake

To automatically fix many of the styling issues, use
