Logic Tests (aka Unit Tests) and Application Tests (aka Integration Tests) with Jenkins and xcode

Motivation

Apple Developer: About Unit Testing

Logic Tests

  1. Apple Developer: Setting Up Unit-Testing in a Project
  2. Download convert OCUnit command line output to JUnit XML: OCUnit2JUnit and put it in your project
  3. Setup Freestyle project in Jenkins
  4. Add Execute shell step:
    • chmod +x ./pathtoscript/ocunit2junit.rb
    • xcodebuild -target myTarget -configuration myConfig -sdk iphonesimulator clean build | ./pathtoscript/ocunit2junit.rb
  5. Add post build action Publish JUnit Test Results with location:
    • test-reports/*.xml

Application Tests

  1. Apple Developer: Setting Up Unit-Testing in a Project
  2. Download the patched RunPlatformUnitTests script and put in your project
  3. Open the Build Phases - Run Script setting and change script path to "${PROJECT_DIR}/pathtoscript/RunPlatformUnitTests"
    • Download convert OCUnit command line output to JUnit XML: OCUnit2JUnit and put it in your project
    • Setup Freestyle project in Jenkins
    • Add Execute shell step:
      • chmod +x ./pathtoscript/ocunit2junit.rb
      • xcodebuild -target myTarget -configuration myConfig -sdk iphonesimulator TEST_AFTER_BUILD=YES clean build | ./pathtoscript/ocunit2junit.rb
    • Add post build action Publish JUnit Test Results with location:

    How to link to TestFlight App in iOS

    There are two things you need to do. First, check to see if TestFlight is installed. Then create a new link to your app. NSURL *customAppURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"itms-beta://"]; if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:customAppURL]) {     // TestFlight is installed     // Special link that includes the app's Apple ID     customAppURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"https://beta.itunes.apple.com/v1/app/978489855"];      [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:customAppURL]; } This special https://beta.itunes.apple.com URL will be opened directly in TestFlight. Finally, if you are using iOS 9 (or later), you need to make an addition to your Info.plist to get the canOpenURL: method to work. If your app is linked on or after iOS 9.0, you must declare the URL schemes you want to pass to this method. Do this by using the LSApplicationQueriesSchemes array in your Xcode project’s Info.plist file. For each URL scheme you wan...

    Working natively with JavaScript in iOS and Android without WebView

    Using JavaScript code from native code without using a WebView (sic!) can be really useful to introduce dynamic functionality that was updatable without need of updating the app shorter iteration cycles share code between backend and native iOS and Android apps You can have business logic provided by a JavaScript that then controls the app that inject native functionality in the JavaScript context. You could even write an A/B testing framework based on this approach. iOS iOS offers the native JavaScriptCore: Evaluate JavaScript programs from within an app, and support JavaScript scripting of your app. So you can evaluate a script and read its return value natively: context.evaluateScript(myLib); let result = context.evaluateScript("myFunction();") let myFunction = context.objectForKeyedSubscription("myFunction"); let parametrizedResult = myFunction.invokeMethod(...) Or you can inject a native object into the JavaScript engine: @objc protoco...

    Tips for working with Firebase Remote Config

    Caching As long as we're talking about loading strategies, let me hit on a related topic; caching. It sometimes confuses developers that values from remote config are cached for 12 hours instead of being grabbed immediately every time you call fetch(). And while you can reduce this cache time somewhat, if you start making network calls too frequently, your app might start getting throttled, either by the client, or the Remote Config service. Obviously, while you're developing and testing your Remote Config implementation, this can be inconvenient, which is why you can override the local throttling behavior by turning on developer mode . Force Update of Remote Config With Firebase Cloud Messaging, you can send a data-only notification to all of your devices, letting them know that there's an urgent update pending. Your apps can respond to this incoming notification by storing some kind of flag locally. The next time your user starts up your app, it can look for thi...

    Bundeskartellamt prüft Apples Tracking-Regelungen für Dritt-Apps (ATT, App Tracking Transparency Framework)
