Thanks for watching!

[@jqnvlog]

One thing I had to do to get this part working was to install the versioning action $ fastlane add_plugin versioning

[@akmalahmed4660]

Thank you very much :-)

[@yim]

No problem!

[@kwii22789]

Great video. Do you think you could do a video on "schemes" on xcode? I'm having trouble understanding exactly how they are used

[@yim]

That's a good idea. I'll add it to my list of videos to do.

[@techkyguy]

thanks jim. great videos. I am wondering do l still have run match,supply snd deliver init commands?

[@yim]

You only have to run the init commands one time

[@leestud1896]

Thanks. I posted a few issues on the github repo of this project. Could you please check it out?

[@skaramicke]

Regarding the version numbers: I feel that you should either use the same semver version in Android and iOS, or just skip the whole semver system alltogether and use dates as version numbers. Having two different versions for the same codebase is weird wither way.

[@Trucidare]

Small typo on line 11, "Gem:Version"

[@yim]

Thanks for letting me know!

[@creative-commons-videos]

can you make a tutorial video / playlist on react-native-animated and gesture handler

[@yim]

Have you seen William candillions videos? He’s the king of gestures and animations.

[@creative-commons-videos]

@@yim yes, but they randomly choose animation, it would be great if there are any playlist tutorial for animation from scratch

[@henryosim3477]

Thanks for the informative video. I am getting this error when the gym action runs
"error: No profiles for 'com.example.myap123' were found: Xcode couldn't find any iOS App Development provisioning profiles matching 'com.example.myap123'. Automatic signing is disabled and unable to generate a profile. To enable automatic signing, pass -allowProvisioningUpdates to xcodebuild. (in target 'myap123' from project 'myap123')"

[@kristinlau8018]

Have there been a lot of changes to Fastlane since this video was made? Would it still be the same steps?

[@yim]

Should be many changes, I’m still using a similar setup

[@ruizheshang4808]

Thanks Jimmy for sharing the knowledge, life saver tonight :) One question, for the ReactNativeFastLane.xcodeproj, do we create these files during Fastlane setup?

[@yim]

No need to add another .xcodeproj, you should already have an .xcodeproj for your app. ReactNativeFastLane was the name I picked for this demo app

[@emilrasmussen7429]

I'm wondering why you aren't explaining how to identify where to get target and app_identifier for projects... I am assuming people are just in here copying off your code, not learning how to take the information and apply to a new and complete different Fastlane project.

[@yim]

My only goal is to share what I've learned. Doesn't matter to me whether someone copies the code directly or applies the info to something completely different.

[@emilrasmussen7429]

@@yim I'm not saying copying the code is bad, I'm really just asking for more explanation i.e "this is target, we are using that for increment_bui... and you can find it here, here and here" or w/e. Explaining the attributes in the code, rather than just saying: "Increment_build_number_in_plist() set the build number directly in plist ios"
Ovbiously you can take this feedback or not, it's really just my opinion on how you could improve

[@yim]

@@emilrasmussen7429 ohhh I see what you are saying now. That's good feedback, appreciate it!
