Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Building for iOS takes around 30-40 mins so we have separate test and build branches with a CI workflow that runs tests on both PRs and pushes to test, but only builds on pushes to build.
The plan was to allow anyone that wanted to check if their branch builds to be able to merge test into build and push but the branch protection rules don't seem to allow restricting pushes on to build from only a specific branch.
Describe the solution you'd like
I think we should create a GitHub app that periodically merges test into build to trigger the CI to build on all platforms, so we get:
much faster iteration on PR CI check results
alerted when a build failed
Describe alternatives you've considered
we could go back to a single dev branch that tests and builds
maybe we could find a way to allow anyone to merge the latest test on to build and push
Additional context
221 -> #223 added the new branches and updated CI to only build on pushes to build
