initial fastlane structures

IzzySoft commented 1 year ago

The promised initial fastlane structure. I left out the screenshots as you already have them in your repo. So here are the suggested next steps:

move over the screenshots from screenshots/ to fastlane/metadata/android/en-US/images/phoneScreenshots (directory needs to be created first). Ideally, have no spaces in the file names. Keep the numbering at the start of the file names, the order of screenshots will then be kept as well.
take a look at fastlane/metadata/android/full_description.txt and adjust as needed. Find some formatting hints here. I recommend what my notes there call "simple Markdown", as that works well for most places
you can place your per-release changelogs into fastlane/metadata/android/en-US/changelogs. Naming convention of the files: <versionCode>.txt (so the current one would be 7.txt), size limit: 500 chars
ideally you'll have a dedicated icon available soon (that Android default one does not really fit). Hope you find someone to design it for you! That would then go to fastlane/metadata/android/en-US/images/icon.png
if you have a featureGraphic (512x250 or 1024x500), that would go next to the icon. Icing on the cake, though :smile:
additional languages might be provided by contributors later

Also important: Whatever is missing in another language will fall back to en-US. So e.g. no need to duplicate icon, featureGraphic or screenshots when you add a new language.

More hints here – and if you have questions, be welcome to ask :smiley:

Thank you! This is greatly appreciated and clear 👍🏼. I'll get to them asap, and totally on the app icon, I just have 0 design skills and don't want something generic. I'll ask if someone can make it happen. Thanks again!

Pointer: Currently your screenshots will get mixed like 1-10-11-12-2-3…

Pad the initial numbering, like 01- instead of 1- if you want that fixed :wink:

I've now enabled what is there currently. Should you add new element types (icon, featureGraphic, video.txt) please give me a ping so I check them as well. No need to ping me if you e.g. add more screenshots, or other languages – those will be picked up automatically.

jpkhawam commented 1 year ago

fixed! thank you! I really appreciate the guidance, I am aware most people don't get that so I am grateful for the time you're taking

Should you add new element types (icon, featureGraphic, video.txt) please give me a ping so I check them as well.

Noted!

I try my very best. You pick it up so fast that you always encourage me to place the next hint – but at the moment I'm running out of hints :rofl: Thanks!

jpkhawam commented 1 year ago

Hello, @IzzySoft! Sorry for the ping, I just want to ask if I need to do something specific to get new releases to get to your repo, and if not, how long does it usually take?

IzzySoft commented 1 year ago

Checking my config for your app:

AutoUpdateMode: Version v%v
UpdateCheckMode: Tags

keep tagging and attaching the APK :smiley:

Oops: Pre-Releases, my bad… give me a sec, toggling a bit… Done, now accepting pre-releases. Apologies for my missing that! Dong a test-run to compensate… Looks good now:

Thanks for the quick fix! 😄 I'm marking them as pre-releases as I don't feel production ready release fits yet

IzzySoft commented 1 year ago

All fine! As you have the metadata here, you can point this out in the app's description – and once the app is "mature" remove that pointer again plus let me know to disable pre-release fetching. All in your hands! :smiley:
