CI/CD for iOS: Automate App Building, Testing, and Deployment

Manual app deployment and testing can slow down your iOS development cycle and introduce critical errors. Adopting modern Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) workflows allows you to automate repetitive tasks and focus on writing great features. In this course, you will transition from manual build processes to establishing robust, automated pipelines for your iOS applications. You will learn how to integrate code frequently, run automated test suites, and deliver updates efficiently while maintaining high software quality. What you'll learn: - Understand the foundational principles of continuous integration and continuous delivery specifically for mobile environments. - Configure automated build pipelines using modern tools such as GitHub Actions and Fastlane. - Automate the execution of iOS unit and UI tests to catch bugs before they reach production. - Manage code signing, certificates, and provisioning profiles within an automated environment. - Deploy builds automatically to beta testing platforms and prepare them for App Store distribution. - Apply modern DevOps best practices to collaborate seamlessly with other developers on a shared codebase. You will start by exploring core CI/CD terminology and fundamental concepts before moving step-by-step through configuring your first automated pipeline. Through written explanations and practical configuration examples, you will learn to manage code signing, execute automated tests, and streamline delivery. This course is designed for beginner iOS developers and software engineers looking to adopt DevOps practices. No prior experience with CI/CD tools is required, though a basic understanding of iOS development concepts is helpful.
