adventures in wonderland - a plone developer's year in ios
TRANSCRIPT
enquos is the first system to combine the tracking of nutrition, fitness & health data so that insights can be made between day to day actions and health outcomes. It is completely
integrated, consolidating the functions of multiple applications and tracking devices into one secure platform while providing tools for
making smart choices.

iOS Build Process• Long
• Arcane
• Requires variations
• Requires certificates / keys

Many weeks latency
Our automated build system
Fastlane
• Automates builds • Allows multiple ‘lanes’ to be built • Repeatable, scriptable builds • An ‘API’ for iTunes Connect • Takes the hassle out of the build and
deployment process
def do_build(scheme, configuration) increment_build_number( build_number: ENV['BUILD_ID'] )
profile = 'build/nutrition.mobileprovision'
if configuration == 'Release' app_identifier = 'com.enquos.nutrition' display_name = 'enquos nutrition' set_istest_false sigh( app_identifier: app_identifier, filename: profile, ) else app_identifier = 'com.enquos.Nutrition.alpha.' + GIT_BRANCH_ID display_name = 'enquos nutrition ' + GIT_BRANCH sigh( app_identifier: '*', adhoc: '1', filename: profile, ) end
update_info_plist( app_identifier: app_identifier, display_name: display_name, plist_path: 'Nutrition/Info.plist', xcodeproj: 'Nutrition/Nutrition.xcodeproj', )
update_project_provisioning( xcodeproj: "Nutrition/Nutrition.xcodeproj", build_configuration_filter: ".*Nutrition.*", profile: profile, )

end
Per-branch app deployment
Things I’ve learnt
iOS 8 → 9
Swift 1.2 → 2.0
Incompatibilities :(
Xcode 6.4 → 7
import Foundation
extension String { public func toIso8601Date() -> NSDate? { let formatter = NSDateFormatter() formatter.timeZone = NSTimeZone(forSecondsFromGMT: 0) formatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd" return formatter.dateFromString(self) } }

• Imposter syndrome is real
• Friendly communities rock
• Lack of virtualisation sucks
• Good documentation is great
• I still don’t understand Ruby
