Question: is it optional? if not then why should we share our target scheme? Now Share your project schemes, to share your project scheme in Xcode, choose Product > Scheme > Manage Schemes. you can see again that diagram for more understanding. Note- CI-CD work flow diagram is an example of pipeline.
It builds code, runs tests, and helps you to safely deploy a new version of the software.
In simple words a CI/CD pipeline automates the process of software delivery. It involves from the integration and testing phase to delivery and deployment. Pipeline introduces automation and continuous monitoring throughout the lifecycle of a software product. in this script (.yml file) we define our pipeline steps, which make our ci-cd more intelligent. yml file which helps to automate our traditional process. Script is basically a simple language where instructions are written for a run time environment. if you are not familiar with unit tests it's okay, I will explain unit tests very deeply in my next blog. I think now you are confused about what is pipeline, script & unit test?ĭon’t confuse yourself, I am here to explain all these things one by one, If you are familiar with the unit tests then you know why we include these testing bundles with our ios project. With continuous delivery, the software is built so that it can be deployed to production or testing environments at any time. Most teams work with multiple environments other than the production, such as development and testing environments, and CD ensures there is an automated way to push code changes to them. CD automates the delivery of applications to selected infrastructure environments. What is Continuous Delivery (CD)?Ĭontinuous delivery (CD) picks up where continuous integration ends. With continuous integration, errors and security issues can be identified and fixed more easily, and much earlier in the development. Basically, Continuous Integration is the practice of integrating all your code changes into the main branch of a shared source code repository early and often, automatically testing each change when you commit or merge them, and automatically kicking off a build. What is Continuous Integration (CI)?Ĭontinuous integration (CI) is a great tool for helping developers be more productive and write higher-quality code. Before moving on to the CI CD pipeline’s implementation, let’s understand what is CI-CD & why it’s helpful for us.
In this blog, I will explain how to implement CI-CD using Gitlab with your ios project very easily.
