We build IOS projects generated by Unity3d. We don't have unit tests in xcode projects. We don't even have a distributed build setup yet. Our main use case is for IPAs generation followed by testflight distribution . > == do you use the xcode plugin ? If yes, what are you missing ?

From my point of view, the plugin * has flexible to support multiple user cases (IOS & Mac apps) * has a rather convoluted configuration (I think) * lacks of unit tests / integration tests * because of the above, there are alternative implementations https://github.com/0xc010d/iosbuilder-plugin What I would like to see improved: * on a community level, people are increasingly using stackoverflow to ask questions about xcode & jenkins. Not really sure to do about this. * I would have preferred the xcode plugin to be a thin wrapper to something I could reuse outside of jenkins, maybe something like https://github.com/rayh/xcoder/. This would make it easier I think to troubleshoot and reproduce issues. * I would have liked to have a set of xcode projects (3-4) that could be use for integration testing (e.g. with different main scenarios, e.g. IOS app with / wout unit tests, mac os x app with/wout unit tests, archiving, etc) * I would have liked a set of machines with different configurations to test the plugin, and maybe an integration job / matrix build for people to help test in their environments. Distributed, non distributed, headless, etc. * I wonder if people need the latest xcode service features. E.g. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18059642/apple-ci-xcode-service-and-jenkins I would love to take part of a hackathon in Oslo, Norway (or any town I could be in) to improve the state of the ecosystem.
