fastlane is a CI/CD tool to automate beta deployments and releases for Android and iOS apps. It is an open-source platform for Android and iOS app deployment. It will take care of all the tasks like testing, generating screenshots, dealing with code signing, and releasing your application. Provides integration support with all the major CI systems. Adding the TestMu AI fastlane plugin in Fastfile will help you upload the app to the server and run tests on TestMu AI real devices.

Installing TestMu AI fastlane Plugin

---

Step 1: Add TestMu AI fastlane plugin by running.

fastlane add_plugin lambdatest

Step 2: Add the below action in fastfile in desired lane to upload the app to TestMu AI.

upload_to_lambdatest(
    lt_username: ENV["LT_USERNAME"],
    lt_access_key: ENV["LT_ACCESS_KEY"],
    file_path: "app_file_path"
)

or if you want to used custom_id.

upload_to_lambdatest(
    lt_username: ENV["LT_USERNAME"],
    lt_access_key: ENV["LT_ACCESS_KEY"],
    file_path: "<app_file_path>",
    custom_id: "<custom_id>
)

NOTE: custom_id is an optional field.

Step 3: Once the app is uploaded to TestMu AI, this action will set an identifier to the uploaded app as APP_URL in the environment variable and can be accessed in the test.

String app = System.getenv("APP_URL");
capabilities.setCapability("app", app);

Step 4: Execute the below command to upload app and run tests.
