main branch: Use a special version of fastlane to enable Add Identifiers

[marionbarker]

Purpose

1. Enable the use of the Add Identifiers action which stopped working following a modification made at Apple in May 2025.
2. Update the version number for main to 3.6.2

Method

The solution requires using a special version of fastlane 2.228.0 with PR 29596 applied along with a modification to the fastlane/Fastfile file.

This uses a branch at the loopandlearn fork: https://github.com/loopandlearn/fastlane/tree/wip_2.228.0_pr29596

Details of updated files

See also PR #285 for the dev branch Add Identifier fix where this solution was initially implemented for Loop. This same method (regarding changes needed for items 1 and 2 below) also works for LoopFollow, LoopCaregiver, Trio, xDrip4iOS and iAPS.

1. The Gemfile file is modified to use the SHA of the custom branch mentioned above, running bundle update fastlane and then committing the Gemfile and Gemfile.lock files.
2. The fastlane/Fastfile was modified according to the suggestion by @dnzxy which adds the "platform" variable to the configure_bundle_id function.
3. Following initial tests, it was determined that USERNOTIFICATIONS_TIMESENSITIVE is no longer supported, so this was removed from the fastlane/Fastfile capabilities for the Loop Identifier

Test

The detailed testing for this PR is found in the next comment.

Test

Summary
When using fastlane 2.228.0 with the addition of changes from fastlane PR 29596 and the required modifications to Fastfile:

• Add Identifiers works as expected with one caveat
  • The Time Sensitive Notification capability is not automatically added and must be enabled manually
• The Build Action works as expected with newly created Identifiers

The GitHub action tests are performed at the GitHub organization name: docs-test.

Confirm Error

Run Add Identifiers using main branch (3.6.1) as the default branch.

• failed action

with this error:

The provided entity includes an unknown relationship - 'capability' is not a relationship on the resource 'bundleIdCapabilities' - /data/relationships/capability

Confirm Success

Test with Existing Identifiers

The Identifiers required for a successful build already exist for this test.

Run Add Identifiers using hotfix/add_identifiers as the default branch

• successful action

Test with Missing Identifiers

Initial identifiers list for Loop

and Loop Watch App

1. Delete all except the Loop Identifier, which cannot be deleted.
2. Run Add Identifiers using hotfix/add_identifiers as the default branch
   • successful action
   • confirmed that all Identifiers are restored

Build with newly created Identifiers, with Time Sensitive Notifications

1. Configure the App Groups capability with Loop App Group for the 3 Identifiers that require it.
2. Delete my Distribution Certificate (this deletes all profiles at developer.apple)
3. Before Building: check the Loop capabilities:
   • App Groups
   • HealthKit
   • NFC Tag Reading
   • Push Notifications
   • Siri
   • Time Sensitive Notifications << previously enabled, will not be added automatically for new builders
4. Build
   • Successful Build with Time Sensitive Notifications
   • The TestFlight build number for this build is: Version 3.6.2, Build 156
   • Install this build onto a test phone
   • Loop continues to operate

Remove Capabilities from Loop Identifier and run Add Identifier

Remove all capabilities from Loop Identifier and then run Add Identifier again.

• Successful Add Identifiers
• Confirm that only 5 of the original 6 capabilities are added back (Time Sensitive Notifications is not enabled)

Build without Time Sensitive Notifications Capability

1. Delete Certificate (removes all profiles)
2. Run Build action
   • Failed build without Time Sensitive Notifications
   • The error is not terribly descriptive - we need to train the mentors on this

I think the relevant error is:

Archiving workspace LoopWorkspace with scheme LoopWorkspace

with more details:

[15:27:31]: Called from Fastfile at line 131
[15:27:31]: ```
[15:27:31]:     129:	    )
[15:27:31]:     130:	
[15:27:31]:  => 131:	    gym(
[15:27:31]:     132:	      export_method: "app-store",
[15:27:31]:     133:	      scheme: "LoopWorkspace",
[15:27:31]: ```
[15:27:31]: Error building the application - see the log above

The other thing mentors can look for is the Loop profile on the https://developer.apple.com/account/resources/profiles/list page shows as Invalid.

Restore Time Sensitive Notifications Capability

1. Enable the Time Sensitive Notifications Capability to the Loop Identifier
2. Build
   • Successful Build with Time Sensitive Notifications
   • The TestFlight build number for this build is: Version 3.6.2, Build 157
   • Install this build onto a test phone
   • Loop continues to operate
