We're back! Join us on Tuesday, July 31st for our first true meetup in... well... a long time. We'll hear an incredible talk on the iOS build process from Michael Sanderson! This event will be generously hosted by the Dumbo Heights WeWork. They request that we provide an RSVP list with full names and that everyone bring a photo ID to check in.

Pipeline to the Fastlane:
iOS Continuous Deployment from Xcode Scheme to App Store Release
To go from code on your machine to an amazing user experience out changing the world, your iOS app must go through the arduous, multi-step build process: schemes, configuations, xcconfig, entitlements, assests scrips and the info.plist are involved. If your app is going up to the cloud, there are still more considerations of source control and CI machines; then Testflight and release.
This talk aims to show how all these moving pieces fit together. We’ll explore the depth of the build process and shine a light on its more obscure pieces, as well as looking at how to use it to handle some common deployment scenarios. Control of the iOS app build system can turn the release process from painful manual stumbling through steps in the dark, to the ease of a system that works automatically out of sight, that takes your work and distributes it safely and reliably whenever needed, freeing you to look for new horizons.
Michael Sanderson has been building iOS apps full-time since iOS 6, ranging from consumer-facing apps at scale, including working on apps for Shake Shack and Wegmans’ supermarkets; to connected hardware, at smart luggage maker Raden; to secure messaging at Wickr, inc.
Past talks at New York iOS meetups include “Mutants of UIKit” and the ‘Game of Thrones’-themed talk, “Coding Defensively Against APIs”.
