ClojureDart CI/CD with Fastlane

… sure has a lot of steps.

Anyway, pretty much everything you need to know is explained extremely well here: https://constantsolutions.dk/2024/06/06/automate-flutter-deployments-to-app-store-and-play-store-using-fastlane-and-github-actions/

Bonus points if you run the dart script without looking at the source code first.

The only changes you need to make this work for clojuredart are inside deploy-with-fastlane.yaml:

First, a comment in that blog pointed out these changes that I had to add to the build_ios workflow.

- name: Run Flutter tasks
        uses: subosito/flutter-action@v2.16.0
        with:
          channel: ${{ env.FLUTTER_CHANNEL }}
          cache: true

      - name: Get Flutter dependencies
        run: flutter pub get

      - name: Install CocoaPods dependencies
        run: |
          cd ios
          pod install

      - name: Build iOS app
        run: |
          flutter clean
          flutter build ios --release --no-codesign

      - uses: maierj/fastlane-action@v3.1.0
        with:
            lane: 'release_app_store'
            subdirectory: ios
            options: '{ "version_number": "${{ github.ref_name }}", "verbose": "true" }'

Then, add the cljd setup to the top of build_android & build_ios:

- name: Prepare java
        uses: actions/setup-java@v3
        with:
          distribution: 'zulu'
          java-version: '21'

      - name: Install clojure tools
        uses: DeLaGuardo/setup-clojure@13.0
        with:
          cli: 1.10.1.693

You might have to decrease java-version to 17, but this worked for me. Then, after the Run Flutter tasks step:

- name: Compile cljd
        run: |
          clojure -M:cljd clean
          clojure -M:cljd compile

If you get a mysterious and plain "Error..", you might have to increase the timeout-minutes in the build_android/build_ios blocks.

All I had to do beyond the above was fix a bunch of mysterious iOS errors that were mainly due to me not being familiar with ruby environments. Skill issue.
