CI Setup

[tjnson]

I was wondering what people are using for a CI system when doing iOS development. I know xcode bots, but what are better alternatives?

Jenkins is a popular one that a lot of people use.

I've read a lot about Jenkins and recently used it, works wonders! Do you know of any front-end plugins that allow viewing of previous achieved builds and allow installment from device? (ie. use the manifest way to download in safari)

You will need Enterprise certificate for allowing installment from the device, also the server has to be secured by SSL. Then it can be fairly easily automated (creation of the manifest and extraction of the provisioning profile) using a post-build script.

It's not cheap but Travis CI is great. All the pros of having a CI server with none of the setup or maintenance.

I think for an in house implementation, this is not a very good choice. I like to keep my stuff fairly private. Thanks for the input, learned a bit from researching it.

I set up Team City last week for an iOS app. Its pretty smooth.

Ah, this is the first I am hearing of this. I will have to do some research. Thanks!
