Build tools and dependencies for objective-c like ant + ivy / maven?

Question

I am looking for a good build and dependency tool for objective-c, like ant for build and ivy for dependencies.

I know that there are several maven plugins for xcode:

But I'm looking for a community read about what is recommended. In fact, I don’t see many resources on this front at all.

However, there are many references to using Hudson for continuous integration with project objects, such as:

I am looking for more directions on the assembly side.

Answer 1

For dependencies you can use CocoaPods . There is a tool (command line) that comes with Xcode called xcodebuild. Documents can be found by running man xcodebuildfrom the command line. I do not know anything that combines the two, but I could be wrong. You can write a script to combine them and then call the script from Hudson. The problem with Hudson is that it should work on a Mac, so it has access to the header and command line tools.
