In this video, I’m going to discuss continuous integration for mobile apps. I’ll be mainly focusing on iOS and iPadOS app development, but this should apply to android as well.

Topics I’ll cover:

  • What is continuous integration
  • What is continuous deployment
  • Why you should use CI/CD
  • How to configure bitrise.io

Grab your coffee or drink of choice and I’ll get started!

What is continuous integration

Continuous integration is a software development practice where members of a team integrate their work frequently, at least once a day. Each integration is verified with an automatic build and automatic tests, though tests aren’t required.

Do you have to be on a team to use continuous integration? NO. You can use CI tools with however many people are working on the project which could be 1 or 10 or 50. 50 might be too many, but I’m sure it happens somewhere.

You might also be thrown off by the word integrate. If you’re working in Git, then think about pushing to a remote branch and then merging to the main branch.

I like to solve problems using Swift, make YouTube videos, and take photos. I also really enjoy a good cup of coffee.
