Can I use Bitrise to automatically build (and deploy) Ionic 2 (Cordova) based apps?

Thanks for your insights @jlcarvalho!

The issue with this is that it works for android (ionic platform add android generates a proper gradle project), but ionic platform add ios in itself is not enough, as it generates an Xcode project which has incompatible code signing settings for Xcode 8.

So far all I could figure out for iOS is to:

  1. Either include the generated Xcode project in your git repo
  2. Or do the required code signing changes with a script, using e.g. grep to normalize/fix the code signing settings in the xcode project file. This might be a better solution, but it might also be a bit too complicated for someone not familiar with Bash and tools like grep.
