iOS builds & testing

You choose what to run — job type, target and OS version. MacOps provisions and scales the hardware, and runs every job in a clean, isolated macOS VM.

Job types

• Build — compile the scheme. Produces the built .app as an artifact.
• Test — build & run your test plan on a simulator. Produces a .xcresult bundle with results & coverage.
• Archive — produce a signed .ipa you can download (uses your managed signing certificate).
• Deploy — archive, sign and upload to TestFlight. See Signing & TestFlight.

Targets

• iOS Simulator — fast, cheap; for builds and tests. MacOps picks an available simulator inside the VM.
• Physical iPhone — on-device testing on a leased pool device (Team plan). The device is erased after your lease.
• macOS VM — a clean macOS environment for generic build jobs.

OS & Xcode versions

Pick a macOS image (Tahoe 26, Sequoia 15, Sonoma 14, Ventura 13 — each with Xcode) and an iOS version for simulator/device jobs. The scheduler matches your build to a runner that satisfies the version matrix.

Test results & coverage

Test jobs report a pass/fail summary and line coverage right on the build page, and attach the full .xcresult bundle as a downloadable artifact (open it in Xcode for the complete report).

Project environment & secrets

Add per-project variables and secrets (Project → Variables). Secrets are encrypted at rest and injected into the build environment only inside the ephemeral VM.
