Over a two-month period, contributed to Skyscanner’s backpack-android and backpack-ios repositories by delivering three features focused on CI/CD automation and reliability. For backpack-android, implemented secure GitHub App authentication in GitHub Actions workflows using Shell and YAML, replacing personal tokens to improve pipeline security and scalability. On backpack-ios, enhanced CI reliability by provisioning iOS 18 simulators and ensuring compatibility with Xcode 16, using scripting and shell automation to manage simulator lifecycles and streamline testing. The work strengthened CI feedback loops for mobile builds, centralized secrets handling, and prepared both repositories for future platform updates without introducing new bugs.

Jan 1, 2025Concise monthly summary for 2025-01 focusing on key features delivered, major bugs fixed, impact, and technologies demonstrated. In Jan 2025, the primary delivery was enabling secure CI/CD authentication for Backpack-Android by integrating GitHub App authentication into the GitHub Actions workflows. This reduces risk by replacing long-lived tokens with GH App-based authentication and positions the repo for scalable automation in future releases. Key changes included updating main.yml and release.yml to pass GH_APP and GH_APP_PRIVATE_KEY to _build.yml, enabling proper authentication in CI/CD processes.
