This is a talk given at Codemobile 2017 conference in Chester, UK. It was a 5 minute lightning talk detailing how to automate the building of apps for each and every feature branch created as part of a git-flow workflow.
Despite my previous thoughts, you can actually use Xcode 8’s find-by-name functionality for manual signing on a CI setup.
If you want to increase concurrency in your Jenkins pipeline builds, but need to ensure that certain resources are not used concurrently, then you can use lockable resources
This was a talk I gave at the SWMobile Meetup in Bristol in October 2016. The talk was a lightning talk on automating the new Xcode 8 automated signing system when using it in a CI setup. In our case we use it with Jenkins and Fastlane to automate all our builds.

We wanted to have build numbers that were unique and incremental across all of our build jobs. Here is how I did it with a small python microservice.
Jenkins 2.0 beta is out and has included a multi-branch pipeline plugin that allows automatic build of feature branches from Github. Here is how I set it up to build feature branch builds of our iOS apps
Jenkins 2.0 pipeline jobs get their locale from the master not slave, so you need to set the local on master to get UTF-8 output working correctly
