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.
I upgraded a build server to macOS Sierra and the keychain unlocking stopped working, here is how I fixed it.
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.

Instead of the 'wipe workspace' checkbox that used to be in Jenkins, you can now use deleteDir() to clear the workspace before building.
The git changelog is not exposed as a variable in Jenkins for pipeline builds to use. This is how we got it and send it via Gradle to Fabric Beta when we distribute our automated 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
