How to build iOS applications using Fastlane and Pipelines?

[Ian Merryweather]

I'm looking for CI and CD solutions for our iOS application, and as we use Bitbucket already decided to use Pipelines.

I've finally got the configuration setup how I want it, and have adjusted my Fastfile accordingly.

I would like to know if it is possible to use Fastlane in conjunction with Pipelines to release ad-hoc, and eventually app-store, builds, and to automate running tests.

For what it's worth; I've moved on from Bitbucket Pipelines due to not being able to get an answer to this question.

My own investigation leads me to believe that, due to the reliance on Docker images for Pipelines, it is simply not possible to run a macOS environment.

Docker images do not support the macOS kernel, so there is no way to get the xcodebuild program into a Docker image.

Much sadness!

Nice find, @Khalid_Mills!
Have you tried using this to run a build from BB Pipelines yourself?
