Xcode Bots Cocoaheads Montréal 11/2014
Who ? • Romain Pouclet • @palleas • iOS developer
at TechSolCom / R3D • Wrote a book
I wrote a book • Pro Continuous Integration for iOS
• 230 pages • Anybody wants one ?
Continuous integration (CI) is the practice, in software engineering, of
doing a bunch of stuff... — Wikipedia (kinda)
Existing solutions • Jenkins !!! • Bamboo """ • Travis-CI
& Ci ###
Jenkins & TechSolCom • OpenSource ❤️ • Nice bash script
• Homemade distribution store
Bamboo & TechSolCom • ! • Complicated to use •
Terrible support for Xcode projects • Unstable network = unstable instalation
Travis & TechSolCom (Nope)
Continuous integration is hard (and boring)
Continuous integration is hard (and boring) Entering Apple (a few
years later)
Writing a book talking about Bots? • Working with Apress
is great • Initially a small chapter about a promising solution • A bag of hurt at the time • Had to rewrite / update a few chapters after WWDC
Getting started with Bots • Standalone Application • 20$ •
Some cool features (App Store caching...) • Super easy to install ! • Super hard to remove "
Repository Management • Manage access to remote repositories • Host
your project on your OSX Server (This can be done via Xcode)
User Management
XCode service
Setting up a bot • Build app • Static Analysis
• Automated Tests / Performance analysis • Archiving
Static Analysis
Static Analysis from command line (For comparison purposes)
Unit Testing
Archiving
Web interface
Demo (Maybe.)
1 branch = 1 bot (Basically)
1 branch = 1 bot 1. Create a branch 2.
Create a bot 3. Work on the feature 4. Merge branch 5. Delete bot 6. Repeat
Conclusion • Apple is finally entering the game • OSX
Server is super easy to install / use • Still a lot of room for improvements • Bots are cheap, use them
Thank you! Questions?
