They also now have a Newsstand app, which is predictably lovely. One of the best programming resources I'm subscribed too, the articles are always interesting and I always learn something new from them.

I subscribe to this and NSHipster. What other Obj-C resources do you follow?

http://inessential.com has some good stuff posted.

How does Travis CI stack up against the builtin continuous integration new to Xcode 5?

One of things that becomes evident when looking at the CI Bots is how inflexible it is. From what I gather pre/post built steps require baking them into your Xcode project for example. It just seems like it was developed for very simple projects being developed by a small team with little to no external dependencies.

I wonder if people building these tools have any experience building large scale iOS apps. Maybe they do, and developing for that case wasn't their objective.

I second the advice to go with a 3rd-party CI (although I am partial to TeamCity). This is especially because Apple's xcodebuild got way better in this release. It's the underlying deployment system behind the new CI, and in addition it can deploy things to devices now and handle all sorts of neat things that not even the best 3rd-party tools could do before. So: > Unfortunately, xcodebuild doesn’t properly support t…

Has teamcity fixed it's Xcode runner yet for Xcode 5? I am using team city with shell scripts that hand off to "xcodebuild" and "xcodebuild -test | ocunit2junit" but for I would have liked to try out the runners.

I prefer Jenkins overall, but our org uses team city and I would rather use something that has people devoted to managing it versus playing system administrator myself.
