Does this skill work for Android apps?

This specific 'beta' skill is designed for iOS and TestFlight; however, the parent repository provides general Fastlane support for mobile development.

Can I skip the build number increment during a release?

Yes, you can use the --skip-build-increment argument to keep the current build number during the upload process.

What should I do if I get a 'username' error?

Ensure your Apple ID is correctly set in your fastlane/Appfile using the apple_id('your@email.com') directive.

What credentials are required to use this skill?

You need an Apple ID with App Store Connect access and an app-specific password configured as the FASTLANE_APPLE_APPLICATION_SPECIFIC_PASSWORD environment variable.

How do I distribute builds to external testers?

By using the --external flag, the skill will trigger the beta_external lane, allowing you to include a changelog and reach testers outside your internal team.
