Mapbox iOS Examples + Xcode Server Bots

[roblabs]

Goal — one button Xcode builds with Xcode Server Bots 🤖 or XCS.

The repo for ios-sdk-examples already has a CI solution. The goal with this issue is to document how to use Mapbox iOS Examples with Xcode Server Bots, to better understand the build, and to use the excellent reporting tools built into Xcode.

Advantages of XCS

• The reporting from Xcode gives insight into the automated Tests & Code Coverage
• Allows testing on many simulators and devices in my local setup
• No extra dependency to install
• the Mapbox team has done an excellent job over the years of adding features and tests. These notes may help others that are learning the code or want to use Mapbox APIs in their own repos. We use it in our lab, and we thought it were worthwhile to share out.

How to

Notes excerpted from roblabs / xcode-continuous-integration which discusses a process to setup XCS for any Xcode project.

1. The Git branch and Xcode scheme you want to test is very important, so check out a local copy to your development folder. For example, set the branch you want and perform the initial step to make the Xcode Project.

From a fresh clone of the Mapbox project ios-sdk-examples

git clone \
  https://github.com/mapbox/ios-sdk-examples.git \
  tmp/ios-sdk-examples

cd tmp/ios-sdk-examples

# Initial steps to properly getting a local build working
pod --version
pod install --repo-update

xed Examples.xcworkspace

2. The call to xed will launch the Xcode application and opens the given documents. From man xed.

3. Change the Scheme to Examples.

4. On your development Mac, choose Product > Create Bot.

5. Add Pre-Integration Triggers

   • Script environment - Git repo metadata & Build versions
   • Script mapbox - project specific build commands
