Since the release of new 2018 mac minis, we have received several questions from users on the impact of T2 security chip included in the new mac minis on Anka Build setup. This blog describes in detail how Anka technology foundation is agnostic to T2 and can co-exist with it. There is enough written about […]
The new Mac mini 2018 which was released this month, with 8th Generation Intel CPU going up to six cores and support for up to 64GB of memory, is now a powerful contender for enterprise-grade macOS workloads. Here at Veertu, we were looking forward to this new mac hardware release to run Anka Build. Anka […]

Dynamically provision iOS build/test environments from GitLab CI on Anka Build macOS Cloud Anka Build software is used to configure an AWS like macOS cloud on mac hardware. Once Anka Build setup is complete, DevOps can create multiple build/test images for their iOS CI, and dynamically provision container like instances on Anka Build macOS cloud […]

It’s obvious that mobile development is very mainstream now and as a result, the size and number of mobile development projects continues to grow. However, as projects and teams scale, and the number of dependencies increase, ensuring a consistent and stable build for all developers while ensuring code and test quality is a much bigger […]

Guest Blog Post By Peter Wiesner, Senior Software Engineer @Skyscanner Every year Apple releases a new version of Xcode. CI systems for iOS application development need to adopt it, so developers can take advantage of the new iOS features. CI systems using Anka Build have a head-start here. For folks not familiar with Anka Build, […]

Most of the existing iOS CI environments are configured to run the build and tests jobs directly on the Mac hardware. In such installations with large projects, some data like XCode derived data, and code repository get cached on the hardware and subsequent builds use these caches. In this blog, we will describe how you […]

There is “Lunchable,” and then there is “Lunchable Uploaded”. Today, we are announcing nested beta support in Anka Build platform to run Docker workloads in macOS VMs. It takes DevOps up a notch for macOS ecosystem. So, why nested support in Anka? Nested for everyone who is familiar with virtualization, means to run a hypervisor […]
There is some confusion about the feasibility of executing iOS simulator based UI testing in macOS VMs. Anka macOS VMs provide pretty much all capabilities of macOS running on hardware to set up a scalable, agile CI infrastructure for building and testing iOS applications. Since iOS simulator uses software-based rendering for graphics, it can run […]
Anka run command line interface enables command execution inside Anka macOS VMs directly from the host. It’s very similar to container docker run. Why is this interesting – It allows Devops to take their existing container based Linux CI workflow automation, repurpose it for macOS and use it on Anka Build macOS Cloud infrastructure for […]

You start with one iOS app and then it morphs into multiple apps, and you are shipping a new version of all these apps frequently to the app store without compromising on quality. How do you do it? First, you build an application architecture that supports the scale – a large team of developers working […]
