In this blog, we will describe the path to move from static, physical hardware-based build and test iOS CI infrastructure to one that is agile, scalable, and enables infrastructure-as-code for macOS. In short, you will be able to setup an AWS-like self-service macOS private cloud to run your iOS CI jobs in container-like environments to

Growth is good, and when development teams grow, often, they find themselves having to choose between performance and scalability factors related to their development process. Most often, iOS application development project start by consuming hosted service offerings for their build and test processes.

It presents a single entry point, through its REST APIs, for external systems to provision macOS VMs on a cluster of mac hardware (Anka Build nodes) from a specific version of a VM template pulled from Anka registry, for each run. It eliminates
Is iOS developer productivity suffering in your organization? Let’s take a scenario of a company with more than one iOS developer working on different iOS projects. In such a setting developers tend to have issues running builds on CI, only to have it pass in their local environment. These types of failures during integrated build
