If it's complicated… simplify

• Your CI server usually had to contain a lot of tools:

• xctool

• PMD

• Slather

• oclint

• gcovr

• Hockey app, Crashlitycs, Testflight plugins

• Cocoapods or Carthage installed

• Keychain plugin

• Slack or HipChat plugin

If it's complicated… simplify

• … and a lot of scripts:

xcodebuild clean archive -archivePath build/MyApp \

-scheme MyApp

xcodebuild -exportArchive \

-exportFormat ipa \

-archivePath "build/MyApp.xcarchive" \

-exportPath "build/MyApp.ipa" \

-exportProvisioningProfile
