How to automagically deploy to Testflight using Travis-CI

1. Copy the .travis.yml into your repo and edit it
   1. Replace [Workspace name] with your workspace name. If you don't have a .workspace file and wish to use your .xcodeproj file replace the -workspace flag with a -project flag followed by your project name.
   2. Replace [Scheme to use] with the Scheme you wish to use.
   3. Replace [Build configuration name] with the build configuration you want to use.
   4. Replace [Comma separated Testflight distributions lists] with the Testflight distributions lists.
   5. Replace [Name of .app file] with the name of your App. In most cases it's same name as your project name.
   6. Replace [Organization name] with the name of the organization defined in the certificate you will use to sign this App. You'll find this in your keychain. If the certificate has ([User ID]) at the end, don't forget to update [User ID]. If not, delete ([User ID]) and the brackets surrounding it.
   7. Replace [Name of provisioning file] with the file name of your provisioning file name without the extension.
2. Create the folders "scripts/travis/profile"
3. Export the following things from the Keychain app
   1. "Apple Worldwide Developer Relations Certification Authority" to scripts/travis/apple.cer
   2. Your iPhone Distribution certificate to scripts/travis/dist.cer
   3. Your iPhone Distribution private key to scripts/travis/dist.p12 (Important to choose a proper password)
4. Execute travis encrypt "KEY_PASSWORD=[Your .p12 password]" --add
5. Execute travis encrypt "TEAM_TOKEN=[Testflight team token]" --add
   1. You'll find your Team token here
6. Execute travis encrypt "API_TOKEN=[Testflight API token]" --add
   1. You'll find your API token here
7. Copy add-key.sh, remove-key.sh and testflight.sh to scripts/travis
8. Copy your mobile provisioning profile to scripts/travis/profile/
9. Stage all the new files, it should be:
   • .travis.yml
   • apple.cer
   • dist.cer
   • dist.p12
   • [Name of provisioning file].mobileprovision
   • add-key.sh
   • remove-key.sh
   • testflight.sh
10. Commit and push!
11. That's a Wrapp! ;)

Only sending to Testflight if branch is "build_testflight"

In testflight.sh on row 6 we check which branch is being built. At the moment it will only send it to Testflight if the current branch is named "build_testflight". Feel free to remove this if it doesn't suit your needs :)

add-key.sh

security create-keychain -p travis ios-build.keychain
security default-keychain -s ios-build.keychain
security unlock-keychain -p travis ios-build.keychain
security -v set-keychain-settings -lut 86400 ios-build.keychain
security import ./scripts/travis/apple.cer -k ~/Library/Keychains/ios-build.keychain -T /usr/bin/codesign
security import ./scripts/travis/dist.cer -k ~/Library/Keychains/ios-build.keychain -T /usr/bin/codesign
security import ./scripts/travis/dist.p12 -k ~/Library/Keychains/ios-build.keychain -P $KEY_PASSWORD -T /usr/bin/codesign
mkdir -p ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning\ Profiles
cp ./scripts/travis/profile/* ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning\ Profiles/

remove-key.sh

security delete-keychain ios-build.keychain
rm -f ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning\ Profiles/*

testflight.sh

#!/bin/sh
if [[ "$TRAVIS_PULL_REQUEST" != "false" ]]; then
  echo "This is a pull request. No deployment will be done."
  exit 0
fi
if [[ "$TRAVIS_BRANCH" != "build_testflight" ]]; then
  echo "Testing on a branch other than build_testflight. No deployment will be done."
  exit 0
fi

When you unlock the keychain it maybe locked later on due to a timeout.
You can prevent this by adding security -v set-keychain-settings -lut 86400 ios-build.keychain in add-key.sh.
This will set the keychain timeout to 24 hours and that should be enough to build your app.

Special Thanks to Jay Zeschin (http://modeset.com/what-we-know/2013/03/11/jenkins_keychain_timeouts)

Thanks @boekkooi, added it :)

Awesome work. I do have one question. The build fails, if I use default parameters that Travis CI uses:

xcode_workspace: [App name].xcworkspace
xcode_scheme: [Scheme]
xcode_sdk: iphonesimulator7.1

It says that [App name].app does not exist. Any ideas maybe?

Legoless, have you defined this in your .travis.yml?

env:

• APPNAME="[Name of .app file]"

PS. Sorry for the late answer, I don't get any notifications when someone posts here :( .DS

Legoless, now I know why it doesn't work for you. On the following row:

script: xctool -workspace [Workspace name].xcworkspace -scheme '[Scheme to use]' -configuration [Build configuration name] -sdk iphoneos7.1 CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR='~/build/' build

I tell the compiler to place the .app file in ~/build. When you are using the default params the compiled .app-file won't be placed there, and thereby not found by the script.

You are correct. Is there any particular reason you are placing the build in home directory?

Legoless, nope. :)

Great scripts! Is it possible to add the commit message to the release notes for testflight? I'm just wondering how to get the release notes a little more detailed in terms of what was in this build.

Should a corresponding file exist for the -configuration and -scheme directives? Maybe generated by xcode?

More simply, I don't know what to set -configuration and -schema to.

Ok, got further in the process. -configuration 'Debug' and -scheme SRDispatcher were required. Now I am having the following error.

+xcrun -log -sdk iphoneos PackageApplication /Users/travis/build/SRDispatcher.app -o /Users/travis/build/SRDispatcher.ipa -sign 'iPhone Distribution: Stadium Runner, LLC (F283G2H72J)' -embed '/Users/travis/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles/XC_Ad_Hoc_comstadiumrunnerdispatcher.mobileprovision'

error: Failed to read entitlements from '/var/folders/gw/_2jq29095y7b__wtby9dg_5h0000gn/T/It0cBrRabD/Payload/SRDispatcher.app'

Any clue what Failed to read entitlements is all about?

seeing the same entitlements errors as @chrismeyersfsu. any ideas?

For anyone struggling with the entitlements error @chrismeyersfsu ran into, this change to the code signing build settings fixed it for me:
