Travis CI (for now) is stuck on iOS 6, so you're out of luck if you're targeting 7. They expect to resolve this soon. You must also subscribe to a paid plan if you want Travis to build your private repo. That said, I use Travis for all of my iOS 6-compatible public cocoapods on Github. Xcode 5's built-in Xcode bots require OS X Mavericks Server ($20) and, in my experience, has a very brittle setup if you're using Cocoapods. It's probably fine for simpler projects. I've personally been running Jenkins locally. My build script: - Downloads provisioning profiles from Apple's dev center using Cupertino[0] - Builds and codesigns my app using Xctool[1] - Archives the app with xcrun - Builds my app again with the Testflight library, then uploads the result to TF [0] https://github.com/nomad/cupertino https://github.com/nomad/cupertino [1] https://github.com/facebook/xctool https://github.com/facebook/xctool -- the only Facebook product I use! Edit: Jenkins has an Xcode plugin, though I don't use it (I use xctool instead). I do use Jenkins' Testflight plugin, which makes it very easy to upload your build to testflight and include the build's changelog in your release notes.
