This document discusses continuous integration for iOS development. It outlines the benefits of continuous integration such as avoiding last-minute chaos, enabling easy build preparation, and automating testing. It then reviews solutions like Jenkins, Xcode Server, and PaaS platforms. It recommends using a PaaS like Bitrise, which provides continuous integration and delivery in a seamless platform and allows developers to focus on making apps rather than managing infrastructure.
