Hey! 👋 Do you share a repo for all the targeted platforms? If so, how’s the recommended CI setup regarding branches to allow independent deployments/releases on each platform? Thanks!

I prefer to use one repo for all platforms (so far that's Android and iOS), but I configure separate pipelines for each platform. Meaning if you were to run build and tests you would have 2 pipelines and if you were to also add release jobs you would have 4. Standard Android and iOS pipelines usually work by just updating the target folder to corresponding subfolder.

Sounds reasonable, thanks. And how do you trigger those flows? Do you use prefixed tags or something like that?

That could work, I usually want to run build and test on both and release on schedule so I haven't used anything like that

We use tags with prefixes to trigger releases per platform

We always build everything on each commit. We want to be sure everything is kept in sync and any error surfaces immediately.

Building is OK, but what about publishing or deploying? That can't be done on each commit and, I guess, it's better to do it independently per platform.

Ahh yes, our release process is a bit cumbersome as we have to deal with a lot of security stuff. The pipeline always archives all the built artifacts, and then an additional pipeline handles releases on demand, but they get pushed simultaneously, all of them.

Oh, OK, that makes sense. Thanks for the info!

Sometimes a platform may just get a version bump, with no changes. It's a trade off and it works OK here

Ok, got it!
