Tutorial - How to test and build your iOS project with GitLab CI
Who is this for?
To keep in line with GitLab's everyone can contribute strategy, I would suggest keeping this relatively accessible to developers of all levels. I'd assume that someone considering CI is probably capable of creating their own Xcode and GitLab projects and is relatively familiar with basic git commands. What do you think?
CI has always struck me as being a little scary to have to set up and maintain. As I mentioned in my submission, GitLab CI is really easy to setup, and I think that could be a big selling point for the service!
