Mobile CI Server with GitLab CI and Fastlane

on YouTube ↗16m

" summary

A mobile CI pipeline using GitLab CI and Fastlane runs on a macOS runner to build, sign and publish native iOS and Android apps. It uses match to manage and auto‑renew iOS certificates, gym/xcodebuild and Gradle to produce signed binaries, scan for unit test reports, and snapshot to generate screenshots across devices/locales. The pipeline automatically deploys betas to TestFlight and the Play Store and produces 30+ screenshots for visual checks.
