Fastlane Appfile in GIT? How to retrieve current apple_id?

Question

I setup Fastlane for the build automation for my XCode project. At least the Fastfile (containing the build options) should be in GIT, but I would also be happy to have the Appfile (Team Identifiers) also in GIT. The main issue: The Appfile should contain the apple id of me. Sample:

apple_id "[email protected]" # Your Apple email address

# Default team ID
team_id "AUE7D4LRRX"

for_platform :ios do
 for_lane :production do
    team_id '-' #reset team id
  end
end

Is it somehow possible to dynamically retrieve the apple id from the apple/xcode preferences? In this current solution I would not be able to add this Appfile to GIT since every developer would have it's own version of that file... with a different apple id of course!

Thanks and best regards!

Answer 1

You can easily set the apple id using an environment variable

Appfile

apple_id ENV["APPLE_ID"]

...

and then run fastlane using

APPLE_ID="[email protected]" fastlane beta

or similar
