This little project cdm about because of a need to install an ipa from our TeamCity (our CI server). I’ve heard people fawning all over Jenkins, but I have very mixed feelings on open source. Sometimes it’s great, and sometimes you start contributing to an open source project and find yourself wondering how the thing […]

This is a follow up to this post on how to use Frank with RSpec. I have found that unfortunately Frank has some really sad documentation. The easiest thing to do is just read their source code. This file is the most useful. But even then there’s some issues I’ve run into. Once you get the

I hate Cucumber. It is a colossal waste of time and effort just to make your tests ‘read more easily’. And I’m not alone.1 When I started looking for an automation framework for iOS, I originally started off with Calabash in mind. Looking at the documentation, everything looked great, but when it came down to
Most of the information to mix Frank and CocoaPods was gathered from Pete Hodgson’s blurgh – Being Agile. The rest of it was gathered through my own experience. In an effort to keep the lines from being blurred. This post is specifically about using Frank and CocoaPods together. Not how to use Frank or CocoaPods.

As certainly everybody knows, iOS 8 has been announced, and Xcode 6 is in the hands of us developers in the form of a beta. So far, things are looking great. I’ve played with Swift a bit and can see some promise in it. My favorite part is the new debugging tools. Like any good

Just like relational databases are not perfect all the time, NOSQL databases are not perfect either. That being said, we’ve decided to try out a

This is the fourth post in my Project Euler series. The fourth problem is here. Problem 5 2520 is the smallest number that can be divided by each of the numbers from 1 to 10 without any remainder. What is the smallest positive number that is evenly divisible by all of the numbers from 1 to 20? This was by far my favorite

This is the fourth post in my Project Euler series. The third problem is here. Problem 4 A palindromic number reads the same both ways. The largest palindrome made from the product of two 2-digit numbers is [latex]9009 = 91 \cdot 99[/latex]. Find the largest palindrome made from the product of two 3-digit numbers. I was a little disappointed at

In one of our iOS projects we used PLCrashReporter to capture crash reports and email them to one of our servers. Since then we have decided that Crashlytics does a much better job for a lot less work, and cost the same amount (FREE!). Because of this, we switched over to using Crashlytics, so I won’t explain

In the world of dependency management, every platform has their own solutions. Up until recently there hasn’t really been a good solution in Objective-C. CocoaPods is a relatively newish dependency management system for Objective-C. I’ve seen it mentioned in a few GitHub projects over the years, and recently I decided to try it out. At
