Hi, I'm not sure why you think we're using bootstrap, we're not. Everything in our code base is bespoke (with the exception of jQuery 2). As a result, we get to choose our breakpoints, and they're flexible for now (there

It does, kind of crudely though. You have to comment out a method and then comment out another. There's a ruby refactor that allows you to just specify an environment var.

How does it handle developer certs from Apple? I'd rather not share mine with a 3rd party or my code. One could easily just run jenkins/hudson/travis (with plugins) locally and do it, which would probably be faster too since it would have l
