gym builds and packages iOS apps for you. It takes care of all the heavy lifting and makes it super easy to generate a signed ipa file 💪

gym is a replacement for shenzhen.

xcodebuild clean archive -archivePath build/MyApp \
                         -scheme MyApp
xcodebuild -exportArchive \
           -exportFormat ipa \
           -archivePath "build/MyApp.xcarchive" \
           -exportPath "build/MyApp.ipa" \
           -exportProvisioningProfile "ProvisioningProfileName" 

gym

gym uses the latest APIs to build and sign your application which results in much faster build times.

          |  Gym Features

--------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------ :rocket: | gym builds 30% faster than other build tools like shenzhen 🏁 | Beautiful inline build output 📖 | Helps you resolve common build errors like code signing issues 🚠 | Sensible defaults: Automatically detect the project, its schemes and more 🔗 | Works perfectly with fastlane and other tools :package: | Automatically generates an ipa and a compressed dSYM file :bullettrain_side: | Don't remember any complicated build commands, just gym 🔧 | Easy and dynamic configuration using parameters and environment variables 💾 | Store common build settings in a Gymfile 📤 | All archives are stored and accessible in the Xcode Organizer 💻 | Supports both iOS and Mac applications

sudo gem install gym

Make sure, you have the latest version of the Xcode command line tools installed:

xcode-select --install

gym

That's all you need to build your application. If you want more control, here are some available parameters:

gym --workspace "Example.xcworkspace" --scheme "AppName" --clean

If you need to use a different xcode install, use xcode-select or define DEVELOPER_DIR:

DEVELOPER_DIR="/Applications/Xcode6.2.app" gym

For a list of all available parameters use

gym --help

If you run into any issues, use the verbose mode to get more information

gym --verbose

To pass boolean parameters make sure to use gym like this:

gym --include_bitcode true --include_symbols true

To access the raw xcodebuild output open ~/Library/Logs/gym

Since you might want to manually trigger a new build but don't want to specify all the parameters every time, you can store your defaults in a so called Gymfile.

Run gym init to create a new configuration file. Example:

scheme "Example"

sdk "iphoneos9.0"

clean true

output_directory "./build"    # store the ipa in this folder
output_name "MyApp"           # the name of the ipa file

gym works great together with fastlane, which connects all deployment tools into one streamlined workflow.

Using fastlane you can define a configuration like

lane :beta do
  xctool
  gym(scheme: "MyApp")
  crashlytics
end

You can then easily switch between the beta provider (e.g. testflight, hockey, s3 and more).

For more information visit the fastlane GitHub page.

gym uses the latest APIs to build and sign your application. The 2 main components are

• xcodebuild
• xcpretty

When you run gym without the --silent mode it will print out every command it executes.

To build the archive gym uses the following command:

set -o pipefail && \
xcodebuild -scheme 'Example' \
-project './Example.xcodeproj' \
-configuration 'Release' \
-destination 'generic/platform=iOS' \
-archivePath '/Users/felixkrause/Library/Developer/Xcode/Archives/2015-08-11/ExampleProductName 2015-08-11 18.15.30.xcarchive' \
archive | xcpretty

After building the archive it is being checked by gym. If it's valid, it gets packaged up and signed into an ipa file.

gym automatically chooses a different packaging method depending on the version of Xcode you're using.

/usr/bin/xcrun xcodebuild -exportArchive \
-exportOptionsPlist '/tmp/gym_config_1442852529.plist' \
-archivePath '/Users/fkrause/Library/Developer/Xcode/Archives/2015-09-21/App 2015-09-21 09.21.56.xcarchive' \
-exportPath '/tmp/1442852529'

gym makes use of the new Xcode 7 API which allows us to specify the export options using a plist file. You can find more information about the available options by running xcodebuild --help.

Using this method there are no workarounds for WatchKit or Swift required, as it uses the same technique Xcode uses when exporting your binary.

/usr/bin/xcrun /path/to/PackageApplication4Gym -v \
'/Users/felixkrause/Library/Developer/Xcode/Archives/2015-08-11/ExampleProductName 2015-08-11 18.15.30.xcarchive/Products/Applications/name.app' -o \
'/Users/felixkrause/Library/Developer/Xcode/Archives/2015-08-11/ExampleProductName.ipa' \ 
--sign "identity" --embed "provProfile"

Note: the official PackageApplication script is replaced by a custom PackageApplication4Gym script. This script is obtained by applying a set of patches on the fly to fix some known issues in the official Xcode PackageApplication script.

Afterwards the ipa file is moved to the output folder. The dSYM file is compressed and moved to the output folder as well.
