Workflow​

iOS and Android Apps​

Zealot SDKs​

Integration with the Zealot SDK allows non-client development to automatically trigger new version checks, view change logs, and install functionality.

Install fastlane​

In addition to the fastlane-plugin-zealot plugin, which is required to upload applications and debug files, it is highly recommended to install the following plug-ins in addition to fastlane.

  • ci_changelog | Support for multiple CI systems to automatically generate change history
  • update_jenkins_build | Automatically Update Jenkins Build Description
  • humanable_build_number | Generate a build version number that is recognizable to development
  • app_info | View metadata about the application after successful packaging
  • ram_disk | Create in-memory virtual disks, mainly used to improve App build speed (consider if memory is large)
  • debug_file | Automated search for iOS/macOS dSYM or Android Proguard (obfuscation) and packaging of Zip files
# Build and upload ipa to zealot service
lane :upload_app do
# Building the package file, using gym in iOS, gradle in Android
gym

# Uploading to Zealot
zealot(
endpoint: '...',
token: '...',
channel_key: '...'
)

# Uploading dSYM file to Zealot
zealot_debug_file(
scheme: 'AppName'
)
end

# Build android package file and generate progguard then upload to zealot service
lane :upload_debug_file do
# Building the package file, using gym in iOS, gradle in Android
gradle

# Automated search for iOS/macOS dSYM or Android Proguard (obfuscation) and packaging of Zip files
debug_file

# Uploading to Zealot
zealot(
endpoint: '...',
token: '...',
channel_key: '...'
)

# Uploading Proguard file to Zealot
zealot_debug_file(
build_type: 'release',
flavor: 'googleplay'
)
end

CI/CD Service​

For example, Jenkins, configure the project, set up the git hook to trigger packaging, nothing to say

Zealot Service​

In addition to managing each uploaded application and debug file, each time an uploaded application is received, a configured web hook is triggered to send a notification to the third-party service that a new version has been received, and for mobile clients that integrate with the Zealot SDK, they will receive a new version installation alert each time they open the app for the first time.
