Is there a way I can automatically upload android+ios with source map for react native?

According to user feedback the app slug alone isn't helpful to identify the app and obviously any prompt breaks CI.

Proposal:

• Add optional parameters app_os, app_platform, app_display_name which will be used if the app slug not found
• If all parameters provided, there will be no prompts, so it will be possible to use the action in CI

Hi,

It seems it's impossible to use this plugin (yet) to upload mac apps.
(e.g. zip file with the .app).
I know it's possible to use the website to upload and distribute the app, but seemingly not through the plugin.

Hi,

i have some kind of version problem. The error in fastlane-appcenter-plugin is:

Error uploading binary 422: {"status"=>"error", "message"=>"Version could not be created from build. Please make sure that your .ipa file has the correct format."}

How can i check what the real problem is. Normally the flutter build pipeline should add the current version into the Info.plist file of the resulting image. Or does appcenter look into a different file for the version?

Hi,

Thanks for this plugin! 👍

I've found a bug, due to this patch HTTP request. In release = response.body is always just "distribution_group_name", "release_notes" which is probably unwanted because I would expect the whole release object.

I'm willing to open pull request, just don't know if my solution is good enough. jukben@95f6375

This is technically two separate issues:

• Server error for unknown reasons (no explanation anywhere as to why)
• Validation doesn't catch the error, marking the step as a success

• OS: Android or iOS could be selected by my choice of apk or ipa file to upload. Or am I missing complexity here?
• Platform is not defined by any of the params, but maybe can also be deduced from the app file?

Is the value of owner_name what I get from the "Username" field on https://appcenter.ms/settings/profile?

Please switch to appcenter.ms instead of hockeyapp.net to be appropriate to the repository name!

I got this error message several times when uploading apps now:

[21:09:26]: Error creating app 400: {"error"=>{"code"=>"BadRequest", "message"=>"Validation error: Validation is failed"}}

Is there any way to find out what was is actually going wrong?

The default usage of lane_context, according to the documentation, is lane_context[SharedValues::BUILD_NUMBER].
Applying the format to this plugin lane_context[SharedValues::APPCENTER_DOWNLOAD_LINK] results in the following error:
NameError: [!] uninitialized constant Fastlane::Actions::SharedValues::APPCENTER_DOWNLOAD_LINK

Instead, the user is required to type lane_context[Fastlane::Helper::SharedValues::APPCENTER_DOWNLOAD_LINK] which is not mentioned in the docs and only becomes clear when looking into the source code.

The SharedValues module should be moved to Fastlane::Actions where all other shared values are defined.

I'm getting the following error when trying to upload an app, when the app_name isn't already created. This use case works fine in Hockey, but seems to be a problem with App Center. We generate new build names for each of our feature branches which is why we need this.

In the log I see that it tries to prompt to create the app name. Can we have an option that automatically creates the app without user input based on what we entered as the app_name?

appcenter_upload(
      api_token: ENV["APP_CENTER_API_KEY"],
      owner_name: ENV["APP_CENTER_OWNER_NAME"],
      app_name: build_name,
      ipa: "./App.ipa"
    )

Previously used version is 0.22.

If "APPCENTER_DISTRIBUTE_GROUP" is defined as an environment variable.
Before it can be omitted, and all works well.

But now got the error message:

Option `group` is deprecated. Use `destinations` and `destination_type`

So the two lines were added below the apk line:

       appcenter_upload(
           apk: "xxx/yyy/zzz.apk",
           destinations: ENV["APPCENTER_DISTRIBUTE_GROUP"],
           destination_type: "group"
        )

Still same error:

Option `group` is deprecated. Use `destinations` and `destination_type`

Finally found a fix: rename the environment variable to something else other than APPCENTER_DISTRIBUTE_GROUP, problem solved.

I think the readme needs to be updated to show the right way.

It seems like there have been some attempts to support uploads to apps owned by an organization and not an individual, but none of them have been merged: #48

It would be great to have a timeout parameter for uploading the app files just as fastlane hockey has (https://docs.fastlane.tools/actions/hockey/#parameters).

Recently my CI server had issues uploading a build to AppCenter as for some reason the upload took longer than 60 seconds. (The app is only 7MB large.)

This is my output from fastlane:

There are very similar issues for fastlane hockey, having exactly the same issue and for them adjusting the parameter seemed to work like a charm: fastlane/fastlane#11156

So it would be great to have that parameter for appcenter_upload aswell.

Guessing this should be added as command from fastlane.

I see that it's implemented here

https://github.com/microsoft/fastlane-plugin-appcenter/blob/master/lib/fastlane/plugin/appcenter/actions/appcenter_upload_action.rb#L77

However, when I go to our app center UI as well as the app center docs, I can't seem to find anything related to release notes link. Where is release_notes_link used inside app center once build has been uploaded?

Hi, Is there a way to add or create an app to an organization?, It would be great if there was a way to do this.
Cheers!

Mark a new relesae as mandatory.

On my project, I have a really big Fastfile ~1000, and very often it becomes broken

Recently I did upgrade to 1.0.0 version but unfortunately didn't check API changes...

It will be nice it appcenter_upload will support some dry_run option which will do as much validation as possible but will not upload artifacts to appcenter

I recently updated to 0.2.1 . Everything seemed to be working fine until I tried distributing my app to the Testflight and Beta testers in Google play. Now I only get this error over and over:

Not found, invalid distribution group name
Group 'Alpha' was not found

This is th relevant code in my Fastfile:

# upload to appcenter
appcenter_upload(
      api_token: "<TOKEN>",
      owner_name: "<OWNER>",
      app_name: "<APPNAME>",
      notify_testers: true,
      group: "Alpha",
      release_notes: "<NOTES>",
      apk: lane_context[SharedValues::GRADLE_APK_OUTPUT_PATH]
)

Which makes me think something changed in the way appcenter retrieves the group id. Can you confirm this is the case? If so, how should I modify my Fastfile to reflect this change?

Unable to upload the app to the organization-app.

I don't see any information related to the organisation in the documentation or in the code.
upload url I see in the code, req.url("/v0.1/apps/#{owner_name}/#{app_name}/release_uploads/#{upload_id}")

Need the support to upload the .ipa to the organisaiton-app.

I'm not seeing the index.ios.map file being uploaded to the Symbols when using this plugin. According to these instructions, it should include a source maps file.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/appcenter/crashes/react-native

Create a ZIP file with the dSYM package on your Mac and the JavaScript source map of your app. The source map should named "index.ios.map"

When I download my Uploaded Symbol, the index.ios.map is not there. Does anyone know how to make make sure the source map files are uploaded?

Thanks

Do you support updates thought code push service? Have you any plans on this?

Hello,

I am using latest fastlane (2.114) and appcenter plugin. During the build I see this in the log:

Binary uploaded
..
dSYM uploaded

I do not know how to verify if dSYM is actually uploaded to App Center, but in the Hockeyapp I do see the build, but do not see dSYM. Instead I see Symbols none.

Why? How can I fix this?

I use plugin like this:

appcenter_upload(
    api_token: "my_token",
    owner_name: "my_company",
    group: "Collaborators,some-other-group",
    app_name: "app-name",
    ipa: "ipa-path",
    dsym: "dsym-path"
)

Is this project still alive? The last merge is from a year ago and there are pending PR that no one is merging.
Judging by the state of this plugin maintaining, choosing Appcenter.ms was not a good idea :(

I run the following command

 appcenter_upload(
            api_token: "...",
            owner_name: "...",
            app_name: "...",
            upload_dsym_only: true,
            dsym: "dSYM path",
        )

A zip file is correctly uploaded on app center and I see it in the list of uploaded file but it says "No symbols found" with a size of 0B. I tried to download the zip file and the file correctly contains the symboles apart the fact that the dSym file is present a two places (at root and in a path that sounds like the complete path of the original location of the symbole file (e.g. ../bin/.../...dSym)

When repackaging the zip file with only the dSym file at root and then uploading again in appcenter, the symbols are found and everything works well.

I'm not sure if this is intended behavior, but since notify_testers is now false by default, this will disable both email and Slack notifications for new distributions.

It took me a while to figure this one out, because the notifications just magically stopped working, which makes me wonder if notify_testers being false by default is the intended/best option here?

Since those plugins that were mentioned in another issue #26 (comment)
dont support appcenter code-push, I was wondering if this plugin will support appcenter codepush ?
Seems to be quite reasonable since this is an official fastlane plugin to support appcenter, makes sense to include codepush feature.

It would be very handy if appcenter_upload would show a summary of all the params submitted before starting to work. This would make debugging problems and failures much easier.

Example:
Ran a android lane. Selected Android as OS. Upload failed with "Platform does not match. Expected value: Android. Actual value: iOS". Turns out I had copied over the lane from ios and forgot to change ipa to apk and was also upload an .ipa file. Seeing this output on the command line would have sped up finding this quite a lot.

Hi,

I am facing this issue while uploading ipa file for ios from fastlane, also even when i have already created app on app center still it could not find it and shows the same message. please let me know if anything could fix this.

--- Step: appcenter_upload ---

Error 403: {"message"=>"Forbidden", "code"=>"Forbidden"}

I'm working with a React Native project and what we're trying to achieve is building iOS and Android in the same build. However I'm unable to upload the Android APK after uploading the iOS IPA with the following error:

ERROR [2018-01-08 11:49:38.79]: Couldn't find dSYM file at path '/Users/vagrant/git/App.app.dSYM.zip'
ERROR [2018-01-08 11:49:38.79]: You passed invalid parameters to 'appcenter_upload'.
ERROR [2018-01-08 11:49:38.79]: Check out the error below and available options by running `fastlane action appcenter_upload`

I can't share my entire Fastfile without some editing but in the ios lane we run

appcenter_upload(
  api_token: "token",
  owner_name: "Owner",
  app_name: "App",
  ipa: binary_path
)

Followed by uploading dsyms after they're downloaded:

dsyms = lane_context[SharedValues::DSYM_PATHS]
dsyms.each do |dsym|
  appcenter_upload(
    api_token: "token",
    owner_name: "Owner",
    app_name: "App",
    upload_dsym_only: true,
    dsym: dsym
  )
end

After this completes we build Android and in that lane run:

appcenter_upload(
  api_token: "Token",
  owner_name: "Owner",
  app_name: "App",
  apk: "./android/app/build/outputs/apk/app-releaseStaging.apk"
)

:APPCENTER_BUILD_INFORMATION at the point of Android is set to the iOS project unsure if it helps, but thought that it might. Thanks!

Example Fastfile and param documentation contradict each other:
https://github.com/Microsoft/fastlane-plugin-appcenter/blob/9f99aab3ee7d9bf971a2f72b59e3e2d5043fce77/lib/fastlane/plugin/appcenter/actions/appcenter_upload_action.rb#L442

Or did I miss anything?

Hello everyone,

when I try to upload a binary via fastlane, I get the following error:

Error uploading binary 500:

My build is still labeled as success though.
Is this App Center related?

After installing the plugin in fastlane, the actions list contains mobile_center_upload but not appcenter_upload. I can see there was a renaming taking place in the past, so i am not sure if this did not propagate to the latest release, or something is wrong with my fastlane environment.

I keep getting this error when I try using appcenter. Please advise

I have done all what is stated in the error message but error still persist

Is it possible to retrieve the url of the release page that contains the installation link after the upload to App Center completes? Something similar to the way that Hockey sets a shared variable.

With HockeyApp it was enough to upload an apk or ipa and the app figured out the name by itself by extracting it from the app. From reading the params of this plugin, this doesn't seem to be possible with AppCenter. Is this correct?

It is unexpected that owner_name is needed additionally to api_token (in comparison to the hockey action for HockeyApp for example).

What is the reason behind this requirement?
Only for the API path?

In view of the fact that HockeyApp will soon be discontinued, is there any thoughts going into perhaps migrating this fastlane plugin so that it can be part of the set fastlane actions?

Getting a list of the unprovisioned devices for an app would be very useful. We could then pass that list to https://docs.fastlane.tools/actions/#register_devices to automate adding new users.

Seems what I supply as app_name is actually used in the URL directly:

[21:03:08]: bad URI(is not URI?): /v0.1/apps/piotrowski/FastlaneExample (iOS)

(note the space in the app name)

On the other hand later in the process (if I replace the with - to make it work) the value seems to be used as a kind of "name":

[21:08:43]: App with name FastlaneExample-(iOS) not found, create one?
(y/n)
y

The app is actually created with this slug as name then as well, which makes for awkward names in the UI everywhere (as renaming in the web UI also seems to be broken).

On android apps (built in react native) appcenter_helper is not uploading a new release when destination_type is store.

Steps to reproduce:

• call appcenter_upload to upload a new release making sure destination_type is set to store
• everything works as expected until the plugin calls update_release
• update_release finishes as expected but no release was uploaded (can be checked by going to the releases dashboard for the app)
• the plugin will error on add_to_destination as no release will be found because it was never uploaded

I'm currently facing the issue that it seems like this plugin does not support spaces in the app name.

If I try to upload the app with a space in the name I get the following error message from fastlane:

bad URI(is not URI?): /v0.1/apps/CompanyName/My Awesome App

If I go ahead and URI encode all the spaces I end up with the message

App with name My%20Awesome%20App not found, create one? (y/n)

However in Mobile Center we already have set up the app "My Awesome App". It seems like the plugin does not URI decode the %20s back to spaces when neccessary.

Would love to have this supported :)

Even though I enter the correct app name in my fastfile, when I run fastlane beta I see:

[15:18:32]: App with name myappname not found, create one? (y/n)
y
[15:18:36]: Select OS

Does the conflict error suggest that the app is not created by an app by that name already exists?

Hello,

in the HockeyApp action we used the "dysm" property to upload the mapping.txt.
This does not work with the AppCenter-Plugin.. See the screenshot.

What is the right way, to upload it?

Thanks
Michael

When trying to upload an app from my CI, I am getting the following error:
The app belongs to an organization that I am a part of.
The app is still a part of HockeyApp.
I see the app QA-dev in the list of apps.

Is there something I am missing?

Error 403: {"message"=>"Forbidden", "code"=>"Forbidden"}
App with name QA-dev not found, create one?

Hello.

In the HockeyApp Fastlane action, we had access to a "notify" parameter, with which it was possible to disable automatic email notifications when uploading a new release. See https://docs.fastlane.tools/actions/hockey/

This parameter seems to be missing from the new appcenter_upload action, and emails are being sent to everyone for each release. I can't seem to find a way to have any control over this.

Could it be possible to add this parameter for appcenter_upload as well?
Thanks.

I keep getting a 500 error when uploading a new version to google play.

This is what I'm getting in the console:

I tracked it down to this line:

It looks like the backend keeps responding with a 500. Any idea on what's going on?

Trying to get this working for a macOS application we have, not much luck since I was getting an error related to acceptable file formats.

I have a naive solution here. If anyone has any feedback on this, I'm more than willing to open a PR for it.

edit: I'm just passing the path to the app.zip to the :ipa option since based on the source, it works the same. we probably should have a differently named option for consistency (though if anyone's ever used the hockey fastlane action, the option works the same way. source).
