Re: Jenkins with iOS development
Hi, Sorry I was off for a long period and a lot overwhelmed It should be better from now and I already saw new issues sent in the plugin bugtracker and pull requests in github. Many people are nowadays successfully using the xcode plugin on a jenkins server. It can be hosted itself on macos or on any other platform with an agent on macos. At the Jenkins User Conference Paris last week I did a presentation about this : http://www.slideshare.net/aheritier/hands-on-ios-developments-with-jenkins Feel free to ask more details if you need.

Re: Jenkins with iOS development
Great! I'm glad there is no problem building iOS applications using Jenkins. The only funny thing is that plenty of people seem to have trouble with it even though it is so easy. I have a couple of follow-up questions: You mention $PASSWORD needed to unlock the keychain. Since Jenkins Mac installer creates the jenkins user with no password and with login disabled, you have probably done some additional customization? What did you need to do? Change login shell? Change password? Did you also need to set up something in the jenkins user's home directory? mkdir Library? Thanks, -- Sami 2012/4/5 kenstir kens...@gmail.com: I don't have any problem signing code with my iOS build fired by Jenkins. I think it is straightforward if not easy. I did not need to modify Jenkins in any way. My setup is: - linux master fires osx slave using SSH - osx slave runs as user jenkins - user jenkins has the signing cert loaded into its keychain - user jenkins must allow access to the signing cert. In the Keychain Access application, right-click on XXX private key, choose Get Info, click Access Control, select Allow all applications to access this item. - key step here: build sh script executes this command: security unlock-keychain -p $PASSWORD ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain Hope that helps, Ken

RE: Jenkins with iOS development
The application that requires access to your private key is “/usr/bin/codesign” if you don’t want to grant wildcard access to your private key. If you’re doing any simulator orchestration then you will also want to be sure that the user logged into the CI agent is the same user Jenkins is running as.

Jenkins with iOS development
I've been reading stackoverflow.com and seen there are lots of people having problems with Jenkins in iOS development. This is because iOS apps have to be signed and the signing certificates and keys and whatnot are located in some user Keychain (a Mac OS specific native keystone.) When Jenkins is running as a background daemon, it has no access to the user keychain. I saw some people discussing a possible fix in this page: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6827874/missing-certificates-and-keys-in-the-keychain-while-using-jenkins-hudson-as-cont/9968764#9968764 I am not an iOS developer myself, so I have not run into this problem. Is there anyone here who can verify that adding the SessionCreate setting to orgi.jenkins-ci.plist fixes the problem? Probably this is not the whole solution. The keys and certificates still need to be copied to the jenkins user keychain, I believe. Is there something we can do to make it easier? -- Sami
