fastlane Cheat Codes
Whether you're a single developer or work on a team, this course will save you hours of time. Every. Time.
I discovered fastlane almost a year ago in a different course called Production Ready React Native from Handlebar Labs and I've never looked back. I didn't want to. One single lesson in that course setup fastlane to manage my iOS certificates and provisioning profiles only. Mind you, that's about 10% of what fastlance can do and I was HOOKED.
I was in awe of what that simple setup could do and how much time and frustration it saved me. I mean how many times have you gotten an error that said no matching profiles found, or no signing certificate found when you know they're there. You're looking right at them. The fix? delete them all in the Developer Portal and start over. Super Frustrating not to mention a complete waste of time.
The simple setup I learned took all that pain away. I was in love with a new tool called fastlane
We've all had similar headaches, but here are a few I had.
- A valid provisioning profile for this executable was not found
- Certificates had expired or not not found
- Push notification certificates were not built into the provisioning profile
- Editing gradle.build any time you need to bump the build number
- Remembering to increase the version number in xCode to match iTunes Connect
- Speaking of that, setting up iTunes Connect as a whole is a hassle too
- Lets talk screenshots for a second, can we? Complete PITA! Making sure they're the correct size, having to generate the same ones in different simulators or emulators, ugh. I'm gettign an ulcer typing this.
THIS is why fastlane Cheat Codes exists. Within minutes you can automate these headaches away for good.

Sr. Programmer Analyst / Founder
I teach Mobile Application Design at Messiah College and am the founder of VenüDesk, a conference management system with a mobile app for attendees which was built with React Native. I've been using React Native for almost two years and exploring FastLane for over a year, and it changed my life as a mobile developer.
Frequently Asked Questions
I use Windows, do I need a Mac?
Currently, fastlane is officially supported to run on macOS. However, they are working on Windows and Linux. You can view the system requirements here
Is this course finished?
Nope. I am still recording and editing videos for you, that's why I have such a great deal on the price. After it is complete, the price will increase, so get in now :)
How long will I have access to the course?
If you're like me, you'll need to reference certain videos and docs multiple times before it sinks in. This is a one time fee for lifetime access.
I only build for iOS
That's great, fastlane is geared toward iOS and everything will go smoothly for you as you learn, and you can skip over the Android videos.
I only build for Androdid
I have good news for you too! While fastlane is geared more toward iOS, everything I cover in this course can be applied to Android as well. No device left behind... well except for maybe Windows phone :)
I am a poor student, do you have an educational discount?
Absolutely. I was a poor student too, actually I'm a poor adult now, so I get it. Just send me an email - jwheat@jcmplabs.com with proof of enrollment and I'll send you a promo code to use. Easy as that.
I don't use React Native, is that ok?
Sure is. fastlane utilizes calls to both xCode and Android related commands for building and taking screenshots. Even though I use React Native examples in the videos, if you are a native developer, you can follow along with no issues.
