We can find a lot of tutorials about how to setup Android CI/CD. But it’s hard for us to setup the iOS CI/CD. Also It’s expensive to buy a Mac computer to run and build iOS app. As we can find Azure Devops provide MacOS build agent, we can build and publish the iOS app on Azure devops for a lot cheaper prices.

Here is a Pipeline example of building iOS app on Azure Devops:
