Hi @vsambasiva550, have you tried to install Fastlane manually using the same gem command as the task?
gem install fastlane
also, have you tried to update the local ruby version to 2.7?

Issue 2: Task never ends (with installFastlane:false)
Fastlane installed by manually in mac agent

Could you please share the version of Fastlane that you installed, and a portion of the logs where the task gets stuck?

In mac agent fastlane installed manually

Exactly the same issue here. Fastlane installed manually. Ruby updated to latest version using rbenv. Azure devops agent bale to find Fastlane. Even if the install flag is set and I put a pre command line script in before this action to ensure everything is as it should be in the context in order for it to install fastlane, it just fails with 2025-01-30T17:49:45.1192270Z [command]/usr/bin/gem install fastlane

This is pretty important that is addressed given Microsoft decided to deprecate App Centre leaving most people without a means of deploying to IOS if the tool they are supposed to move to doesn't even work.
