We’re using Atlassian Bamboo for CI / deployment. Had home-rolled a little local server for internal distribution as well but recently migrated to TestFlight as well.

Bamboo has several nice features for scripting – especially when dealing with multiple output builds from a single source tree, like we are – that Hudson / Jenkins doesn’t. But as long as you’re /doing/ CI / CD, the tools you’re using don’t matter so much.

I didn’t think of Siri like this – very insightful.

Great foresight Parveen, and a good excuse to bone up on some fun AI topics that don’t often get used in web and mobile dev!

XIB doesn’t stand for Xcode Interface Builder. Since .XIB files are XML files the X is meant to indicate that. Drop by http://iphoneworxx.com if you are getting started as an iOS developer

FourSquare actually uses PLCrashReporter, and what Peter said is correct — at the time a crash has occurred, you can -not- -do- -anything- that is not async-safe, which precludes using Objective-C *AT ALL*, as locks can easily be held and trigger a deadlock in your crash handling, resulting in the app locking up on crash instead of simply exiting.

I’m not sure users would appreciate having to force quit an app on crash.

It is definitely not safe to send mail when a signal occurs. But the tradeoff is that the user may never re-open the App again and you will never see that crash.

A signal is trapped in a background thread and the App then hops to the main thread to access UIKit.

I’m integrating this into a new project this week. I’ll take a look at the attachment issue. Patches are welcome.

I’ll take a look at plcrashreporter. I wasn’t actually able to Google for anything before I wrote CrashKit.
