AWS CodeBuild Now Supports Fastlane to Simplify iOS Deployments
Briefly

AWS has enhanced its CodeBuild service to include Fastlane support, allowing developers to manage various tasks essential for iOS and macOS app development. This addition eliminates previous manual installation hurdles, enabling out-of-the-box usage. However, developers must still ensure proper configuration by integrating Fastlane securely with necessary credentials for code signing. By utilizing secure repositories for sensitive signing materials and AWS Secrets Manager for storing environment variables, developers can better protect their workflows during the build and deployment processes.
AWS now installs Fastlane by default in CodeBuild, simplifying the management of iOS app development tasks, though proper configuration remains essential for developers.
The integration of Fastlane in CodeBuild allows developers to utilize its full capabilities out-of-the-box, but they must still supply necessary signing materials securely.
Developers need to configure Fastlane with access to private keys and certificates needed for iOS builds, highlighting the importance of secure storage and retrieval.
While Fastlane improves the iOS development workflow in AWS CodeBuild, the setup involves various environmental configurations and the use of AWS Secrets Manager for security.
