Question

I want to build an local iPhone project without source control using jenkins. However I havent had any luck with the documentation or searching the web. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

You should be using source control BUT:

1. Create a new job, enter a meaningful name and select “Build a free-style software project”
2. Select “None” from the “Source Code Management” section

3. Select “Add A Build Step” -> “Execute Shell” and add the following

   cd /your/project/dir
   xcodebuild -sdk iphoneos -project your_project.xcodeproj -target your_target clean
   xcodebuild -sdk iphoneos -project your_project.xcodeproj -target your_target build
   

4. You can then also change the “Build Periodically” setting in the jenkins job to have it run every hour or whatever

5. Save the job

If you’re expecting the xcodebuild tool to codesign your work and jenkins is running locally then it’ll probably pop up a keychain window at some point during the “build” process.
