The ‘macOS-latest’ image is needed here because we are building an iOS app which requires Xcode on our build agent. Builds can also be triggered manually from the Pipelines screen. Change this to whatever branch you want, or remove it entirely if you do not want to trigger automatic builds. The trigger key here describes that every commit to the ‘develop’ branch will trigger an automatic build.

Your file should now look like this: trigger : - develop pool : vmImage : 'macOS-latest' variables: - group: steps : Remove the comment header and the script parts of the file and change the vmImage to ‘macOS-latest’. On this page we can edit its contents before the file is actually created:Įven though we can change the contents of this file later on, we might as well make some changes for the initial commit. This file contains the instructions that Azure DevOps needs to successfully build and publish our app. On the ‘Review’ tab we can see that an azure-pipelines.yml file will be created in our repository. Then, on the Configure tab we can select ‘Starter pipeline’.

On the Select tab, we will select the repository that we moved our app’s source code to in Step 1. On the Connect tab, we will select ‘Azure Repos Git’ as our source code location: Īssuming your source code was successfully pushed to your Azure DevOps repo, we can continue and create a pipeline to actually build our app.Ī pipeline is created by navigating to Pipelines > Pipelines from the left bar and selecting Create Pipeline. If you want to use an existing (empty) Azure DevOps repository for your code, you can manually import your source code from your current repository into the existing Azure DevOps repository using this guide. If you are creating a new repository in your Azure DevOps Project, you can simply use the import repo feature during the creation of your repository as described here. It is of course also possible to have our Azure DevOps pipeline pull code from an external repository, but that is beyond the scope of this blog. Our first step will be to move our app’s source code from any existing repository to an Azure DevOps repository. Step 1: Moving your code repository to Azure DevOps

Microsoft’s own documentation on how to create such a project can be found here. Note: this guide assumes you have an Azure DevOps Project for your repository and build pipelines.

I will describe each step in more detail below. Using a Service Connection to automatically push app builds to App Store Connect.Moving your code repository to Azure DevOps.We can roughly divide this process in the following steps: In this blog I will explain the basics of what is needed to move the build and release process of an iOS app to the cloud using Azure DevOps. Cloud Moving your iOS app development and release process to the cloud using Azure DevOpsĭeveloping your applications in the cloud has many advantages, including cost reduction, scalability, and ease of use for developers.
