Requirements
The Mobile Suite Jenkins plugin requires a Jenkins server running at least version 2.7.3 of Jenkins. It has been tested up to version 2.121.1 (the latest long-term support release at the time of writing). The plugin also requires the Jenkins Ant plugin to be installed. Versions 1.5-1.8 are acceptable and have been tested. Jenkins should automatically install this dependency as part of the installation of the Mobile Suite plugin.
Computers acting as Jenkins worker nodes used for building mobile applications need to be running versions of MacOS compatible with iOS building for
Mobile Designer as given in
Installing the Apple Xcode IDE, but no lower than Catalina. Later versions of MacOS are also expected to work.
All Jenkins worker node computers must have Software AG Designer with the Mobile Development perspective and Mobile Designer installed and configured, along with any platform SDKs (Android Studio, Xcode) that you want to use.
Note:
Single computer configurations are technically possible, if all requirements for the Jenkins worker node and the Jenkins server can be met. There are additional requirements and configuration steps for single-computer setups, many of which are covered in this documentation. However, it is not recommended to use single-computer configurations. It is less secure, scales poorly with additional users, and will make the Jenkins web UI less responsive during building.
Important:
When installing Mobile Designer, Mobile Development and Platform SDKs on a Jenkins build worker node, be aware that the user account doing the installation may not have the same rights and permissions as Jenkins does when building your application. It may be necessary to install files into "common" locations, and/or to adjust the access properties of files after installation.
