Transcript

1. Xcode Bots Cocoaheads Montréal 11/2014
2. Who ? • Romain Pouclet • @palleas • iOS developer at TechSolCom / R3D • Wrote a book
3. I wrote a book • Pro Continuous Integration for iOS • 230 pages • Anybody wants one ?
4. Continuous integration (CI) is the practice, in software engineering, of doing a bunch of stuff... — Wikipedia (kinda)
5. Existing solutions • Jenkins !!! • Bamboo """ • Travis-CI & Ci ###
6. Jenkins & TechSolCom • OpenSource ❤️ • Nice bash script • Homemade distribution store
7. Bamboo & TechSolCom • ! • Complicated to use • Terrible support for Xcode projects • Unstable network = unstable instalation
8. Travis & TechSolCom (Nope)
9. Continuous integration is hard (and boring)
10. Continuous integration is hard (and boring) Entering Apple (a few years later)
11. 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
12. Getting started with Bots • Standalone Application • 20$ • Some cool features (App Store caching...) • Super easy to install ! • Super hard to remove "
13. Repository Management • Manage access to remote repositories • Host your project on your OSX Server (This can be done via Xcode)
14. User Management
15. XCode service
16. Setting up a bot • Build app • Static Analysis • Automated Tests / Performance analysis • Archiving
17. Static Analysis
18. Static Analysis from command line (For comparison purposes)
19. Unit Testing
20. Archiving
21. Web interface
22. Demo (Maybe.)
23. 1 branch = 1 bot (Basically)
24. 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
25. 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
26. Thank you! Questions?
