Continuous Integration
Using Sim Deploy with a continuous integration server like Jenkins, Hudson, or Cruise Control couldn't be easier - in fact, this scenario is exactly why we built support for a custom URL Scheme.
- Zip up the fresh simulator .app bundle
- Copy to a location accessible through HTTP
- Generate and publish a Sim Deploy link that points to the .zip copied in step 2
# JENKINS - COMMON 'EXECUTE SHELL' BUILD COMMAND
# zip stores files relative to current directory, we cd to
# ensure we don't end up with a ton of empty directories
cd "${WORKSPACE}/build/Release-iphonesimulator"
zip -ry "MyRadApp.zip" "./MyRadApp.app"
cp ./MyRadApp.zip /Library/Webserver/Documents/MyRadApp.zip
echo '<a href="simdeploy://fetch?url=http://myserver.lan/MyRadApp.zip">MyRadApp</a>' \
