How to make a release

Apple

• test the build on a real device. It is imperative that you run selftest and it gives you OK
• if necessary, up version number in all relevant files (you can use ./edit-version-number.sh)
• run ./scripts/release-notes.sh - it prints changelog between latest tag and now, put this output under new version in file ios/fastlane/metadata/en-US/release_notes.txt (on top); if file got too big delete the oldest version from the bottom of the file
• now is a good time to commit a ver bump and release notes changes
• create this release version in App Store Connect (iTunes) and attach appropriate build. note last 4 digits of the build and announce it - this is now a RC. no need to fill release notes yet
• cd ios/ and then run DELIVER_USERNAME="[email protected]" DELIVER_PASSWORD="my_itunes_password" fastlane deliver --force --skip_binary_upload --skip_screenshots --ignore_language_directory_validation -a swiss.dfx.bitcoin --app_version "6.6.6" but replace 6.6.6 with your version number - this will upload release notes to all locales in itunes
• go back to App Store Connect and press Submit for Review. choose Yes, we use identifiers - for installs tracking
• once its approved and released it is safe to cut a release tag: run git tag -m "REL v6.6.6: 76ed479" v6.6.6 -s where 76ed479 is a latest commit in this version. replace the version as well. then run git push origin --tags; alternative way to tag: git tag -a v6.0.0 2e1a00609d5a0dbc91bcda2421df0f61bdfc6b10 -m "v6.0.0" -s
• you are awesome!

Android

• do android after ios usually
• test the build on a real device. We have accounts with browserstack where you can do so.
• its imperative that you run selftest and it gives you OK. note which build you are testing
• go to appcenter.ms, find this exact build under master builds, and press Distribute -> Store -> Production. in Release notes write the release, this field is to smaller than iOS, so you need to keep it bellow 500 characters.
• now just wait till appcenter displays a message that it is succesfully distributed
• noice!
