Cannot distribute via Testflight using fastlane in Jenkins

I have been struggled to distribute our beta software via fastlane. It used to say that I put an incorrect username or password. But I already assigned the environment variable like below.

env["FASTLANE_USER"] = "xxxxxxx@xxxxx.com" 
env["FASTLANE_PASSWORD"] = "xxxxxxxxx"

• The error log Your Apple ID or password was entered incorrectly. (-20101)

In my case I just added another line to reassign the env["FASTLANE_PASSWORD"] before it uploads the file to Testflight. By the way I feel that it takes too much time to process a build in Apple Testflight. So I have thought about moving to another service for my beta software release.

Today I have got a strange issue on my Apple Magic Mouse. The symptom was like I tried to scroll a certain place in the screen then the scroll was stuck on the edge of the area. So I tried setting displays on the preference option. But it was no luck.

Then I started to suspect the mouse. So I changed my Magic Mouse to another Magic Mouse and it works! So the issue was my Magic Mouse has a software issue I guess. Then you need to reset your Magic Mouse connection with your Mac and try it again.

Bye Slack, Meet Teams

I have been a long time user for Slack. The thing that I don’t like Slack is getting heavier and getting slower.

Today I read a new article saying Microsoft Teams got over 2M daily active users in their Teams service. I think that they bundled it as a part of Microsoft Office 365 and it could be a booster to acquire enterprise users.

It is interesting to see what Microsoft has been doing in the recent years. Then I feel that I become a fan of Microsoft. So next time if I have a chance to build a new team I would like to try Microsoft solution for our teams.

Git ignore vs Git exclude

If you are a developer you might have used git to manage your source repository. Then you might use .gitignore file to exclude files or folders that you don’t want to sync with your remote repository.

.gitignore

If you specifies files or folders in .gitignore file, you can exclude files or folders messed up by an unexpected situation. Because it syncs with your remote repository which means all your team members share this configuration for a project.

exclude

git ls-files --others --exclude-from=.git/info/exclude

When I work on a React Native project then I need to be careful not to affect Android sources. In this case exclude file could be a solution for you. The scope of exclude file is for your machine which means that you exclude folders or files in your machine not to sync with the remote repositories.

React Native - launch an app on iOS device and quit immediately without errors

Recently I have got an error(?) when I launched a React native application on iOS device for testing. Then it caused a strange symptom like below.

• No loading from React native testing server
• The app launched and quit automatically without errors in the Xcode console

So I take a time to figure out. Then I just thought about looking into Device crash log which you can check in the Xcode Device and Simulators menu. Then I found that there was a library linker error and it caused the crash.
After I fix the library link in Xcode and it works fine. I hope it helps someone who faced this kind of error.
