xcode_shell is a collection of shell scripts designed to automate common tasks in iOS development, such as building .ipa packages, publishing apps, and managing project assets. Although largely superseded by modern tools like fastlane and fir-cli, this project demonstrates how developers previously streamlined their workflows with custom scripts. The repository includes utilities to compile Xcode projects and workspaces, handle CocoaPods builds, publish .ipa files to private servers or fir.im, send notification emails, and even batch-rename images with the @2x suffix for Retina devices. These scripts are designed for macOS environments with Xcode command line tools installed and rely on simple configuration for server publishing or email notifications. While no longer actively maintained, xcode_shell remains a practical reference for lightweight automation of iOS app build and distribution processes.

  • Publishing utilities for deploying apps to private servers or fir.im
