I would like to know if someone here already try to do CI for a MonoGame project for iOS builds.
I don’t have any Mac to compile my project on iOS but some of my friends have iPhones and I would like to let them play to my Android game too.
Searching on the net, I found Bitrise that seems pretty good (better interface than Travis or AppVeyor IMO) and allow us to make iOS builds for free. It even supports Xamarin directly!
I tried to compile a vanilla MonoGame iOS project using Bitrise, but it fails because of missing MonoGame library.
I know that I need to setup a bunch of things before to make it works (I did it for Android some months ago), and I know it’s a very time consuming task. That’s why I would like to know if any of you has already tried to do that.
I’ve used BitRise for android & iOS Xamarin projects, but not MonoGame… have you tried using the MonoGame nuget packages instead of the installation?
I’ve just tested to install MonoGame iOS through NuGet, but it doesn’t seem to work, I got this error:
