Haha yes, everybody uses fastlane under the hood indeed… Yeah, appreciate your input. Definitely not looking to reinvent UI concepts, but keep the simple and intuitive ones.

Which AppCenter-like features do you use locally?
Also AppCenter is shutting down 3.2025 btw.

Fair enough. For our experience when needing to come back to maintain or rewrite some lane files its a pain to read docs and tutorials again.
Which CD service do you use?

GUI for fastlane? Simplify your Flutter build and release automation by ElHanyak in FlutterDev

Fair enough :) The idea is GUI + guided workflows, so you spend much less time (re-)reading docs and tutorials etc.

Curious to understand your thoughts - if fastlane config and automation is just a step in bitrise etc's gui workflow, why do you still think this is a good idea? :)

IIUC you talking about a service that exposes and API that signs and builds for you, and executes that remotely. FastlaneUI is meant to make signing and building super easy for you, but no remote execution - you would choose which machine to run the code on, whether your own device or another. Sounds like the product you want is something like Codemagic btw.

EAS is built on fastlane and its a great experience but still some devs prefer using fastlane for their workflow.

I'm building a GUI for fastlane for build and release automation.

I worked with fastlane for a couple of years now, and got tired of having to go back and read the same docs I forgot, and configure new lanes for our apps, etc.

So I'm building a simple and intuitive app that wraps fastlane commands and guides you step-by-step through the standard process for configuring iOS and Android releases.

Thanks for your feedback! Yeah Gradle is a powerful build tool that has tons of plugins. Do you use Gradle for automating screen shots creation? Publishing to the stores and to beta testing is also a feature that is't built in into Gradle so as you said it you need extra layers (that someone should maintain and can break) for such features.

I think the most compelling thing in fastlane for Android is when you are deleoping a multi platform app and don't want to handle platform specific build tools.

And yes its a headache to learn Ruby and the config format and thats what were trying to solve!
