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

    Server-driven UI (SDUI): Meet Zalandos AppCraft and AirBnB Lona

    A short WTF: Joe Birch:  SERVER DRIVEN UI, PART 1: THE CONCEPT Zalando seems to follow the SDUI principle as well - defining a common design language and construct the screens on the backend while displaying them natively on the clients. They even go one step further; they implemented a mighty toolset to enable non-technical stakeholders to define their own native app screens Compass: Web tooling to create screens and bind data Beetroot: Backend service that combines the screen layout definition with the data Lapis/Golem: iOS/Android UI render engines Crazy cool! Good job, guys (when you do an open-source release?) To even move faster a Flutter based UI render engine implementation was great!

    In-App Purchase Receipt Validation on iOS

    A vulnerability has been discovered in iOS 5.1 and earlier related to validating in-app purchase receipts by connecting to the App Store server directly from an iOS device. An attacker can alter the DNS table to redirect these requests to a server controlled by the attacker. Using a certificate authority controlled by the attacker and installed on the device by the user, the attacker can issue a SSL certificate that fraudulently identifies the attacker’s server as an App Store server. When this fraudulent server is asked to validate an invalid receipt, it responds as if the receipt were valid. iOS 6 will address this vulnerability. If your app follows the best practices described below then it is not affected by this attack. iOS Developer Library In-App-Klau jetzt auch im Mac App Store ( Heise )

    CloudApp

    CloudApp allows you to share images, links, music, videos and files. Here is how it works: choose a file, drag it to the menubar and let us take care of the rest. We provide you with a short link automatically copied to your clipboard that you can use to share your upload with co-workers and friends. Additionally you can view, track and delete files right from your menubar. CloudApp

    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...

    CFPropertyList

    The PHP implementation of Apple's PropertyList plist can handle XML PropertyLists as well as binary PropertyLists. It offers functionality to easily convert data between worlds, e.g. recalculating timestamps from unix epoch to apple epoch and vice versa. A feature to automagically create (guess) the plist structure from a normal PHP data structure will help you dump your data to plist in no time. github

    App Indexing

    A better search experience for apps and users with linking to in-app content. Google is working with app developers and webmasters to index the content of apps and relate them to websites. When relevant, Google Search results on Android will include deep links to apps. App Indexing
