I presented two parts of this year’s Getting Started with Xcode session (first starts at 25:11, the second at 44:53.)

Our session went through the whole journey of creating an app from scratch with Xcode 11, so if you’re new to Xcode or you just want to see what the best practices of using it are, check it out!

You should also check out the Testing in Xcode session presented by my colleagues.

I was interviewed on RedBull’s Czech podcast last month (apologies for the few of you who don’t speak that language 😉). We spoke about my personal and professional life and how I ended up at Apple.

You can listen to the full thing below as well.

I spoke at the Smart Future conference about the future of technology in the Czech Republic and beyond. The event was organized by E15 and Info.cz. I was also interviewed for the new InfoLAB magazine.

I presented the first half of WWDC 2018’s What’s New in Testing session. I go through the improvements to code coverage in Xcode 9.3 and new test selection and ordering features in Xcode 10. Then, Ethan comes up to talk about parallel testing.

Our team also presented the Testing Tips & Tricks session, which I highly recommend.

I gave a demo on Activities, Attachments & Screenshots in my team’s talk at WWDC this year, session 409: What’s new in Testing. The demo starts at 31:14, but you should check out the whole talk.

In addition, I also highly recommend another talk prepared by our team, session 414: Engineering for Testability.

My last public appearance before joining Apple happened at mDevTalk on September 29th, 2016. I talked about the Swift Package Manager as a tool for all Swift developers, not just on iOS and macOS, but also on the backend and even on Android. Slides and video below (the sound isn’t great, apologies in advance). The intro is in Czech, my talk is in English.

Due to the news I shared with you earlier this year, all my open source projects have been handed over to new owners. See below where you can find them from now on.

My last two weeks have been filled with writing server-side Swift libraries, installing Ubuntu on virtual machines and waiting for Travis builds to finish. While some of it was painful due to the immaturity of the whole stack, I had a lot of fun overall and I actually learned a couple of tricks on the way.

I regularly get asked about which podcasts are my favorites. Well, here’s the list!

Welcome back! Today we’ll cover the last piece of making Xcode Server a viable CI tool for shipping apps: code signing. Code signing is an important part of the outstanding security of iOS, Mac, Watch and now TV apps on Apple’s platforms. However, managing code signing is still an involved process for beginners, even though Apple has been working hard to abstract away many of the details with recent releases of Xcode. Unfortunately, those improvements haven’t really trickled down to Xcode Server yet, so we’ll need to get our hands dirty to make it archive apps for us and let us test on real iOS devices. Shall we?

In Tutorial 3: Prebuild & Postbuild Scripts we discussed running many useful tools like CocoaPods and fastlane with each Integration of our code. However, this became a bit more complicated with the introduction of the new rootless mode in OS X El Cap. Also, if you prefer to use version managers like rvm, nvm for your Ruby and Node versions, this will help you keep using them instead of having to install your CLI tools globally.

Here are the slides from my talk about custom keyboards at iOSDevUK in Aberystwyth, Wales in September 2015.

Great to see that you’re hungry for more Xcode Server goodies! And boy, do I have plenty of them for you today. We’ll talk all about prebuild and postbuild scripts. These might initially sound boring, but soon you’ll see that they are in fact very interesting - they allow you to plug in tools like CocoaPods and fastlane, which can easily revolutionize your complete testing and deployment workflow. From messaging you on Slack when your build finishes to automatically uploading builds to the App Store, nothing is impossible. So let’s get started!

After almost two years at SwiftKey, I am ready to move on to the next chapter of my life.

Update 27th Aug, 2015: For easier management of Xcode Server from the command line, I created a tool called xcskarel!

Welcome to the first Xcode Server Hack! As you might know, Xcode Server Tutorials are aimed at step by step instructions for Xcode Server users. However, I also needed a format in which to write these (mostly more advanced) random hacks and debugging tips I’ve collected along the way. This is what the Xcode Server Hacks series is for! These articles will to be shorter and always focused on just a single issue. Today? We’ll look at how to get OS X Server (the app I told you you need to get Xcode Server running) out of the mix and control Xcode Server purely from the command line.

Ok, time to stop celebrating your success from Part 1 where you got to install Xcode Server and created your very first Bot, which checked out and tested my demo project from GitHub. I left you just after you created your Bot, which, as you probably saw, triggered the first Integration of your Bot. Today, we will look at what this means and how to take advantage of Xcode’s beautiful visualizations of Integration results.

We all know how it works. Your iOS teammate works on a feature branch for weeks and he doesn’t merge changes from other people into his branch during this time. Then your PM starts pushing the team to deliver said feature, so a pull request is created, people skim over the code (because it contains four thousand additions), and when it’s been reviewed “enough”, you just merge it and all is good. Right?

Nope.
