This great for the iOS community. I hope this will introduce the ability for some establish iOS libraries to prove they are ready for enterprise distribution by using CI.

This is great -- what's people's experience with Travis CI vs Jenkins? I use Jenkins right now for iOS, and it definitely has its warts.

A snarky description would be travis-ci is to jenkins what github is to sourceforge.

Travis-ci definitely has limitations (no windows support, limitation to 15 mins for build time, very difficult to have it installed on a local network), but if it can do what you need it to, it is the best solution I have seen.

Hey David,

We are in the process of adding Windows support, we don't have an ETA just yet, but it is definitely in our sights! Also, the build timeout is 50mins, with a 10 min no-logs timeout.

Thanks,

Josh

Travis is great. My only problem is that I have sometimes agonized for days or even weeks over undocumented changes and features for travis.yml resulting in "broken" builds, and had to figure it out myself.

Still love it to death, especially for verifying pull requests and branch merges.

We are sorry for the recent issues, we need to do better at communicating changes to the VMs and .travis.yml processing. Thanks for the feedback :)

Here is the thing, I want a company to run my CI server, I am happy to pay for this service, yet private paid plans are still not available on Travis CI after a very long time. I know its always easy to say from the outside, but why are new features being added when they have not got a solid business model running? Donations are great but is this a business I can trust or an open source charity where people might get bored and give up in 18 months time?

there are quite a few hosted commercial Jenkins providers. https://www.shiningpanda-ci.com/ etc.
