Build cordova mobile app for iOS

[nicksellen]

We have macOS enabled in our circleci environment so hopefully can get it built for iOS.

See https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/sample-config/#sample-configuration-with-multiple-executor-types-macos--docker for a guide on how to add macOS build steps to our circleci config.

I tried out adding a step to our circleci config and it worked, you can see the config here https://github.com/yunity/karrot-frontend/blob/ios/.circleci/config.yml#L44-L51. I don't know what to put in there beyond that though.

Another option could be to explore if we can use https://github.com/fastlane/fastlane to help us, seems to integrate with circleci, and have a cordova plugin. I did not investigate it any further though.

Superbil was interested to investigate :) - what is your github username btw?

[Superbil]

I already had an fastlane script for your app, let me see what I can do.

[nicksellen]

What's the current state of this @Superbil? I had someone who was interested to use it on iOS yesterday :)

[Superbil]

I had make fastlane script to build project, it don't support auto deploy with CI yet. CI system need special setup to work with personal apple account.

[nicksellen]

Is it something you'd be interested to continue working on?

[Superbil]

Yea, I want to work on it. I will continue at next month.

[tiltec]

Hey @Superbil, how is it going?

[Superbil]

@tiltec Just setup new profile key and try to rebuild it again.

Just leaving it registered here that people from the Bike Kitchen are requesting this app, especially because another Bike Kitchen is joining the Karrot group and many there have iphones.

[tiltec]

@Superbil what was your experience when you worked on it? Were there some major roadblocks?

[Superbil]

@tiltec Build progress must fix some flow about build cordova, build script (fastlane) had some to implement. I think that's all. When this to feature finish, that should work. I think end of November will finish.

Hello, could we open this issue again please? Several people from my group are requesting an iPhone app. How complex is it to do with the current tech stack? @Superbil any news from your side?

[brnsolikyl]

If there's demand, it should definitely be re-opened.

Also for my group, a lot of people would use it.

This would still be nice.

[nicksellen]

We're a bit stuck without any iOS dev people in our team, so any ideas for that would help a lot!
