The XCode Plugin is bundled with Bamboo from version 6.0. See https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BAMBOO/Bamboo+6.0+Release+Notes.

Very unsatisfied when I read that Xcode builds would be supported and upon installing Bamboo (always used Jenkins in the past), learn that the latest does not work with latest Bamboo.  Please rectify this and provide linkage to latest Bamboo !

Thanks for the tip on fastlane - this looks quite promising!

Can you guys share more information about Bamboo + Fastlane? How to use it for iOS builds and deployments?

Bamboo + fastlane is an excellent solution and it works for us too.

@Sten Pittet - let me echo @Alexey Zimarev 's comment . My company uses Bamboo and we'd prefer to automate all our builds on one platform. The absence of a clear way to build iOS apps with Bamboo has allowed the conversation for other options to occur.

A Google search for "build ios application bamboo" talks about a plugin that our service provider says won't work with our newly upgraded Bamboo server (5.12.1). The other articles returned by that search aren't promising either, they all seem to talk about this seemingly orphaned plugin.

A short blog entry that shows how to build iOS apps with Bamboo would go a long way toward helping many of your customers.

@Sten Pittet: since you decided to stop Bamboo Cloud offering, there is no sense in the Remote Agent for Bamboo Cloud any more. What is the plan now? Please finally make up your mind, there are many customers of yours that need this, hense the number of votes!

Whats confusing is if you look at the plugins source repo

https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/bamboo-xcode/commits/all

You can see there are tags and commits for other versions of bamboo such as 5.10 but there is no actual version of this plugin pushed to the store - and i'm not sure how to build it or get it or anything

Hi, sorry. Do you plan to release new version of XCode plugin in 2016?

Hi,

I just wanted to provide an update on this request. At this stage it's unlikely that we'll release a new version of the XCode plugin in 2015. However we're working on Remote Agents for Bamboo Cloud which will allow Cloud customers to run builds on their own OSX/iOS Cloud.

Thanks everyone for your feedback, please know that we read it and take it into account when prioritising our roadmap but due to other factors we are unable to put this development on top of the backlog.

Thanks,

Sten Pittet

Bamboo version 5.8.1 build 5866
XCode 6.2

For installation, I'm pretty sure I downloaded the bamboo-xcode-plugin.jar and then used the manual add-on installation option. I deploy to HockeyApp from Bamboo.

@Jonathan Graf: Which version of Bamboo and Xcode are you using? Do you just clone the source repository and use Maven to build the plug-in? Are you deploying to iTunes (TestFlight) from Bamboo?

The Bamboo XCode Plugin is only compatible up to Bamboo version 5.5.1 so if you're needing to use this plugin it's recommended not to upgrade past that version.

Thanks!

We moved to xctool and just called it via a Script command

Just so you know, even though the XCode Plugin is not officially supported, you can still install it on your instance and it does work as documented. We use it at my company for Mobile CI successfully.

Hi Team,

We are evaluating Bamboo now and care more about the Xcode build capability.
Is there a timeline of official support for the plugin? Alternatively, what's the workaround or practice for Mobile App CI/CD?

Thanks!
Jay

If no user is logged in to the Mac, the following error results from attempting to test with iphonesimulator8.4:

2015-07-20 15:53:28.710 xcodebuild[59850:476322] iPhoneSimulator: Could not launch simulator: -10810
Testing failed:
Test target FusionMobilityTests encountered an error (The operation couldn't be completed. (OSStatus error -10810.)

** TEST FAILED **

I've tried David Hunt's recommended approach. It appears that testing with iphonesimulator8.[2-4] does not work from within the Bamboo remote agent.

When the tests attempt to run, the iphonesimulator8.4 starts,

1. displays on the Mac screen,
2. hangs for a little bit
3. Exits with the following message:
   • Testing failed:
     Test target MyAppTests encountered an error (Test session exited(-1) without checking in. If you believe this error represents a bug, please attach the log file at /var/folders/l9/wlrmg9yn72j0k6b38kdlmq3m0000gn/T/com.apple.dt.XCTest-status/Session-2015-07-20_15:19:17-Ht7YmU.log)
   • TEST FAILED **

As of Xcode 6, I'm not sure that there's much value left in the plugin as a combination of xcodebuild, xcpretty and JUnit Parser will solve the problem completely:

Build Script

DERRIVED_DATA_DIR="${bamboo.build.working.directory}"

/usr/bin/xcodebuild clean build -sdk ${bamboo.IOS_SIMULATOR_SDK} -workspace MY.xcworkspace -scheme My_Scheme -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 4s' -derivedDataPath $DERRIVED_DATA_DIR | xcpretty -s -r junit -o test-reports/iPhone4_tests.xml && exit ${PIPESTATUS[0]}

Archive Script for AdHoc Builds

DERRIVED_DATA_DIR="${bamboo.build.working.directory}"
ARCHIVE_PATH=$DERRIVED_DATA_DIR"/Build/Intermediates/ArchiveIntermediates/MyApp-AdHoc.xcarchive"
EXPORT_PATH=$DERRIVED_DATA_DIR"/Build/Products/AdHoc-iphoneos/MyApp-AdHoc.ipa"

/usr/bin/xcodebuild clean archive -sdk ${bamboo.IOS_DEVICE_SDK} -workspace MY.xcworkspace -scheme MY_Scheme-AdHoc -derivedDataPath $DERRIVED_DATA_DIR -archivePath $ARCHIVE_PATH | xcpretty -s

/usr/bin/xcodebuild -exportArchive -archivePath $ARCHIVE_PATH -exportPath $EXPORT_PATH -exportFormat ipa -exportProvisioningProfile "My AdHoc Profile"

I like to set up IOS_SIMULATOR_SDK in my Bamboo server's Global Variables (Settings->Global variables) section so that I can move it forward as I update the SDK environment on the server. Here are some variables that I set and use throughout my various scripts:

• IOS_DEVICE_SDK = iphoneos8.2
• IOS_SIMULATOR_SDK = iphonesimulator8.2
• IOS_VERSION = 8.2

Hi,

I'd like to provide a quick update on this issue. At this stage it is hard for us to provide an official support for the Xcode plugin due to other priorities on the roadmap.

As jerry.qassar mentioned it the source is public and it is possible for anyone to use it as a base for improvements.

I would encourage pluging developers to build tasks for Xcode and publish it on the marketplace. You can reach me out at spittet@atlassian.com if you have any question or feedback.

Thanks,

Sten Pittet
Bamboo Product Manager

Of course it is, sorry: https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/bamboo-xcode

@jdumay, is this source on Ecosystem or somewhere where we can get at it and help make improvements?

@JosephEarl Can xctool be integrated with Bamboo? Would that be basically just making a shell script that runs xctool?

Just use xctool https://github.com/facebook/xctool - in case you didn't notice this issue was opened in 2010

Hi. Do you have any ETA for v3.0 getting to the marketplace? Thanks

+1. Xcode is supporting lots of new features which existing plugin does not cover, like multiple -destination parameters for unit testing.

On Demand is a must!!!

Likely not going to go with Bamboo because it is not available on demand

This would be nice as well. Currently looks like it breaks some functionality in non-OSX build agents so not possible to mix remote agents between OSX and Linux.

Need robust xcode support in bamboo. With the number of iOS applications out there this is a lost opportunity.

Why 5.2.2 only supported?
As it opensource(is it?) may be comunity can help

+1 for OnDemand

Please make this work on Demand.

Are there any plans to make this plugin work with Bamboo 5.3?

OCTest is our main problem, doesn't seem to work for any of our projects

For XCTest support, please follow BAM-13874. I've updated that ticket with a link to a beta that supports XCTest.

Hello, is there an option to make this plugin work with XCode 5 unit tests (XCTest)?
When do you plan to add that support?
Thanks!

Can we get this added/supported in Bamboo onDemand! Just let us configure/run our own Mac Mini as the agent.

josephearl what are the outstanding problems with this plugin that you have? Is it just the lack of support?

It looks like our iOS team is going to have to move off Bamboo as soon Xcode 5 arrives, given the lack of features in this plugin.
I'd really like to maintain all my builds under one system, sadly that's just not possible with this level of commitment.

Anyone having luck with this plugin? Would love to see it officially supported ASAP!

Forget it. Even that hosed. Think "backslash*".

Damn JIRA ripped out my back slashes.

The "*" are supposed to be "
*".

Just FYI. I'm doing my own Mac support, using Bash shells. The plugin is completely worthless.

Your standard (non-beta) Command executable has a really bad problem (Which is why I need to use shell scripts).

It only allows one argument to be passed in. To make things worse, it also passes in following arguments, but borks them. It took me a number of hours before I figured out what was happening. Is pooches wildcards as well.

For example, if I want to unzip a directory full of zips, I would do this:

file_1.zip
file_2.zip
file_3.zip
file_3_more.zip

/bin/unzip *.zip

or /bin/unzip file_*.zip

That don't work on your Command executable. I need to list each and every file, each in one task.

I can't even do this:

/bin/unzip file_1.zip file_2.zip file_3.zip file_3_more.zip

That's been in beta for 3 years!

I'm using it, and can't get it to work.

This speaks volumes for your commitment to the Mac.

Have you seen the free Bamboo Xcode, iOS and Cocoa addon? Version 2.0 recently got updated to support testing in the simulator.

I agree. We recently committed to Bamboo by upgrading, and have paid for it for years. Now, however, we will need to run Jenkins alongside with the advent of our new iOS client, and perhaps port some dependencies over as well.

This is pretty disheartening. I just spent several days learning the ins and outs of Bamboo, then I realize that nothing has been done to support Xcode for the last 3 years.

(I still have not gotten a successful build working using the executable -I will need to write a shell script).

I was hoping to be able to migrate away from our overcomplex Jenkins installation, but that does not seem to be in the cards.

I would question the wisdom of deliberately ignoring the Mac workflow, as iOS development is exploding, and the iOS workflow is all Mac.

OK. No Xcode support, no purchase Bamboo. Back to Jenkins...

I've reopened this issue to track requests to add official support by Atlassian for this plugin.

Hi Max,

There is a pull request open to add Workspaces and Schemes to the plugin. I'm just waiting to hear back from the developer who has contributed the changes before I merge it in and release a new version.

Thanks
James

Hi guys,

I'm really enjoying this plugin so far. Do you plan to add support for Schemes (as opposed to Targets) and Workspaces (as opposed to Projects)? That would just be a matter of calling xcodebuild with different arguments, I think.

thank you,
Max

Hey guys,
The Bamboo iOS and Cocoa support plugin is now available from the plugin exchange. It contains support for building Xcode projects and unlocking Mac OS X keychains.

Its in beta and we could really use your feedback!

Enjoy!

James

Thanks Simon!

bamboo-xcodebuild.py attachment

I have attached my bamboo-xcodebuild.py all I do is set this up as the build script instead of /usr/bin/xcodebuild it then processes the output of xcodebuild and creates .xml files that bamboo lines.
