This is the funfunspell dictation app

• Play Store
• App Store

Android release (Fastlane)

Same lane names as Earn Time To Play: beta (internal testing), release (promote), upload_production (new AAB), promote, metadata, validate. FunFunSpell is Capacitor/Ionic — run Capacitor via ./build.sh, not Flutter.

# One-time: copy android/fastlane/env.example → android/fastlane/.env
# (or keep using repo-root .env with GCLOUD_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY)

./build.sh beta_android         # Internal testing (draft)
./build.sh release_android      # New AAB → production; live after Google review
./build.sh promote_android      # Promote internal → production (no rebuild)
./build.sh metadata_android     # Listing + changelogs only
./build.sh validate_android     # Play validate_only dry run
SKIP_BUILD=true ./build.sh beta_android   # reuse existing AAB

release_android maps to fastlane android upload_production. promote_android and direct fastlane android release promote internal → production (no rebuild). PLAY_PRODUCTION_STATUS defaults to draft so a normal release does not submit for Google review. Set PLAY_PRODUCTION_STATUS=completed when you intend to submit.

versionCode is still major*100000 + minor*1000 + patch from package.json. Changelogs still come from release_notes/{en,zh-Hant,zh-Hans}.txt. Play listing copy lives under android/fastlane/metadata/android and uploads with beta/release/upload by default; set SKIP_UPLOAD_METADATA=true for a binary-only upload.

iOS release (Fastlane)

Same lane names as Earn Time To Play: beta (TestFlight), release (metadata + binary), submit, metadata. FunFunSpell is Capacitor/Ionic — run Capacitor via ./build.sh, not Flutter.

# One-time: copy ios/App/fastlane/env.example → ios/App/fastlane/.env
# (or keep using repo-root .env with APPLE_ID_APP_USERNAME)

./build.sh beta_ios          # TestFlight
./build.sh release_ios      # App Store: submit + auto-release after Apple approval
./build.sh submit_ios        # upload + submit (auto-release after Apple approval)
./build.sh metadata_ios     # store listing metadata from ios/App/fastlane/metadata (no IPA)
SKIP_SCREENSHOTS=false ./build.sh metadata_ios   # include screenshots from ios/App/fastlane/screenshots
SKIP_BUILD=true ./build.sh submit_ios   # reuse tmp/App.ipa

release_ios maps to fastlane ios release. SUBMIT_FOR_REVIEW and AUTOMATIC_RELEASE default to true: Apple reviews the app, then it goes live without an extra App Store Connect click. Set SUBMIT_FOR_REVIEW=false to upload without submitting, or AUTOMATIC_RELEASE=false to hold after approval.

Store listing text and screenshots live under ios/App/fastlane/metadata and ios/App/fastlane/screenshots. Deliver detects 6.9″ iPhone screenshots (1320×2868) by resolution — device subfolders like APP_IPHONE_67 are not required. iPad 13″ screenshots (2064×2752) use APP_IPAD_PRO_3GEN_129-*.png filenames in the same locale folders. Play 10″ tablet shots live under android/fastlane/metadata/android/{locale}/images/tenInchScreenshots/ (1600×2560); 7″ is not used.

CFBundleVersion is still major*100000 + minor*1000 + patch from package.json. Signing stays Xcode Automatic Signing (no match).
