Pilot should use Deliverfile user for authentication about pilot HOT 11 CLOSED

I don't think that's right. The Deliverfile is exclusively for deliver. The Appfile is shared across all tools.

The better solution would be to support separate email addresses per platform in the Appfile

from pilot.

That works too.

As long as I can define each account email and get both passwords stored in the keychain so I only need to configure it once I'll be happy. 😎

Is there a recommended workaround to set the pilot to use the Deliverfile from inside the Fastfile / pilot action? (i.e. a simple way to set the Deliverfile values as environment vars?)

from pilot.

Following this because I switched from deliver to pilot after the big iTunes Connect change and following fastlane release and now pilot asks me for the username. Just had a look at the Appfile thing, specified app_identifier and apple_id there and I get:

/Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0/gems/gym-0.8.3/lib/gym/detect_values.rb:16:in `set_additional_default_values': No project/workspace found in the current directory. (RuntimeError)

from pilot.

@vittoriom So the app identifier works, but it can't find your project. You only have to specify your Xcode project using the following options from gym --help

    -w, --workspace STRING Path the workspace file (GYM_WORKSPACE)
    -p, --project STRING Path the project file (GYM_PROJECT)

from pilot.

@KrauseFx gym is already configured through the Gymfile, should I do more steps? Let's say I drop the Appfile, is there something like a Pilotfile? I just would like to avoid passing all these parameters to the pilot steps in the Fastfile :(

from pilot.

@vittoriom There is so Pilotfile, but I could implement it. Would you like to use one?

from pilot.

It's just what came to my mind when thinking about the configuration.
I have a Deliverfile for deliver (even though it's my understanding that other tools also take information from there?), a Gymfile for gym, and now pilot wants to get configuration parameters as well.
Unless the Appfile could work as a Deliverfile + Gymfile + "Pilotfile", I don't see the point in the Appfile as of now :O but I'm a bit confused to be honest.
Nevertheless, between passing the parameters to pilot in the Fastfile and having a separate Pilotfile, I would rather have the latter.

from pilot.

@KrauseFx I have the same issue here. I have an apple dev account to connect to various teams I'm a part of, but I have separate itunes connect email addresses specific to each team. The Appfile seems to need an apple developer ID and an itunes connect ID (for deliver and pilot). What's the best way to handle this at the moment? I currently do this in the deliver file for deliver. But this seems a bit silly.. it's not that the username is specific to deliver, it's specific to itunes connect vs. the apple developer portal.

from pilot.

Update

The latest fastlane update fixes this issue and allows you to specify different credentials for different lanes in a far much more elegant manner

The advice hereon is somewhat defunct

I have a different account for _iTunes Connect_ and _Developer Portal_, to complicate matters, I belong to more than one Team on the developer portal. My solution is as follows (yours could vary)

1. In my Appfile I set the following extra parameters team_name and team_id e.g

app_identifier "uk.co.theweek" 
apple_id "[email protected]"
team_name "Dennis Publishing Limited"
team_id "B999999QWE"

1. In my Fastfile, under pilot, I add the username as an extra parameter. Here is an example

lane :beta do
    sigh
    pilot(
      username: "[email protected]",
      ipa: "Builds/The Week UK.ipa",
      skip_submission: true
      )

I find that the above works rather well for me.

Edit

After reading all the comments above (I skimmed through the first time) I realise that you all have a valid solution, and this is more of a discussion regarding engineering paradigms. So pardon my reply, that said, I will leave it here in case someone genuinely doesn't know how to use multiple accounts between the tools, i.e _sigh_ and _pilot_

This issue was migrated to fastlane/fastlane#1916. Please post all further comments there.

fastlane is now a mono repo, you can read more about the change in our blog post. All tools are now available in the fastlane main repo 🚀
