Hi there. Can I use Bitrise to automatically build (and deploy) Ionic 2 (Cordova) based apps? I see support for iOS and Android native. I know GreenhouseCI works nicely with Ionic 1 but we’re building in version 2 (Angular 2 based) and it’s made it a real struggle to find a compatible CI platform! …

Hey Nick, Some time ago I’ve worked on Cordova Android projects integration with Bitrise . I was able to prepare docker image based on bitrise base image and published it to docker hub (search for “vgaidarji/docker-android-cordova”). Then I’ve used this custom image in bitrise and was able to build…

It seems that the default project generated by ionic start ProjectName --v2 ( source ) is fairly broken, eg with the generated .gitignore files we couldn’t build the project which was generated on one Mac on another Mac after a git clone. We couldn’t find any ionic command which would properly regener…

Hi Viktor & team Thanks for the updates. Will be great to be able to build Ionic apps with Bitrise soon :slight_smile: As to regenerating the Ionic setup - after running the npm install, you have to explicitly run npm platform add ios and android - it seems a stupid way to do this but it should wo…

Hi Veaceslav Thanks - I came across that in my search and it looks really useful! However the key platform for me is iOS and I want to ensure that I can build both iOS and Android automatically without needing to use multiple CI providers. Fingers crossed it’ll be Bitrise! :slight_smile: Thanks N…

Hi Viktor, the Ionic 2 sample above works like a charm. I’m trying to setup CI with karma and protractor tests, but without success so far. Btw, it’s not recommended maintain the cordova/ionic generated folders on git. On bitrise.yml you can create an empty www folder. mkdir www Then you can add…

Thanks for your insights @jlcarvalho ! [image] jlcarvalho: Btw, its not recommended maintain the cordova/ionic generated folders on git. 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…

Maybe this can help: https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/guide/platforms/ios/#using-buildjson

Thanks for the link @jlcarvalho ! I guess that can work, although directly specifying code signing options is effectively deprecated since Xcode 7, as it’s incompatible if you have to use multiple signing params, e.g. if your app includes a Today widget extension (where the widget itself have to be …

Question & Answer

A quick update: while we were working on our Ionic 2 guide, we realized that it simply takes too much time to npm install -g ionic cordova, so we will preinstall both in this weekend’s Stack updates.
