With a click of a button, we can check our app on the iPad. Be mindful of this if you’re working on multiple branches at a time. Then, the app will automatically be deployed on change. Tip: You can get rid of the when: manual from the review stage if you’re the only one working on the app. But, at least for interim builds, you can get by with just ios-deploy because it always rebuilds and reloads. You’ll need to bump the version number in ist in order to successfully deploy to TestFlight (you can’t send the same build number again). You can still TestFlight when you need to from any of these areas. deploy from the merge request, in the drop down for the review stage of the pipeline.build_template : &build_common stage : build script : - xcodebuild -destination='platform=ios' artifacts : paths :. Stages : - build - review - testflight variables : LC_ALL : " en_US.UTF-8" LANG : " en_US.UTF-8" GIT_STRATEGY : clone. If you’re not on the same network as the Mac GitLab runner, then you may still need to put your build through TestFlight to get it on your device. Your team doesn’t have to know Xcode to push a button and try a different version of the app on the review unit they’re using. With ios-deploy and a GitLab runner installed on your network, you have everything you need to get faster to your next iteration. Xcode wireless debugging allows you to install an app on devices on the network that are paired to your Mac, and ios-deploy makes this a simple command line you can include in your GitLab CI script for Mac runners. So, why wait on TestFlight, when we can build and distribute the app internally in seconds? deploy to multiple devices simultaneously.quick edits instead of firing up a full development environment.quickly switching back and forth between versions.But there are a few cases where pulling some tools together with GitLab CI/CD can open up some new possibilities: It depends on how much of a backlog Apple’s servers have at the time.įor local development and testing, Xcode’s “run” button works fine. Sometimes it was as short as 5 minutes, sometimes as long as 30 minutes. TestFlight is great, and all, but most of the time I spent was waiting on TestFlight to deploy my build. This relies on TestFlight to do the work of building and distributing the app. Jason showed how to use fastlane to do an iOS beta. Update CI config with review environment.
