Extra Features

gota creates a gotalink.txt and ipalink.txt (if uploading an ipa) that contains the url or direct download link. If you are using a CI server, you can have it read these files for quickly getting the url that you can send to your team.

Site Directory Layout

destDir
\__(ipa CFBundleShortVersion or apk versionName)
   \__version.json
   \__(ipa CFBundleVersion or apk versionCode)
	 \__appicon.png
	 \__(ipa or apk file)
	 \__app.plist (if ipa file)

go test -v ./...

Testing S3 Feature

Set these environment variables before running go test in s3 package.
