Uploading Xcode Bot builds to Testflight, with launchd

So if you want to upload to TestFlight what can you do? Well the solution offered by anyone I’ve seen blogging about it is to go make your own IPA using xcrun. That doesn’t sound so bad until you end up with code signing and keychain issues and it’s all to do something that is about to happen as soon as you’re done anyway.

My solution was to just wait until the IPA file was made. My initial naive attempts were to schedule the upload from the post-archive script using at or simply adding a delay for some amount of time while the IPA file didn’t exist. What I should have realised though is that the Bot will wait as long as I’m waiting and only when my script finishes will it continue and make the IPA file.

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!
