Click-free releases & the making of a CLI app
summary
A travel‑app team replaces a brittle Ruby Fastlane workflow with a Kotlin JVM CLI called Kronos, adds unit and integration tests (including fake file‑system git tests), and automates Android releases end‑to‑end via Gradle Play Publisher hooked into CircleCI and Zapier calendar triggers. Distribution uses the Shadow plugin to publish uber‑jars to an internal Maven repo and a GitHub Action to publish on release. A performance issue is solved by using a detached configuration.
