Creating the Build Job
For the remainder of this chapter, we're going to assume that you have an Xcode project
checked into a source control system, as outlined in the last chapter. Since the entire
point of automating your builds is to take the most recent version of your project under
source control and create a build of the app from it, it is obviously a prerequisite.
I've set up a repository on github that has all the examples in this topic, as well as the
tools and utilities mentioned. You can check a read-only copy out of git by using the
repository URL:
git://github.com/blackbear/enterprise-ios-applications.git
With Hudson up and running, we can start implementing our automated build. Help-
fully, Hudson places a link to what we want to do right at the upper left hand corner,
New Job
. If you click on that link, you're brought to an intermediate page that asks you
to name your job, and select what type of build it is (see
Figure 3-2
). For the purposes
of this walk-through, we won't look into these options in detail, just give the build a
name (BuggyWhipBuild) and set it up as a freestyle project.
