## What it is
A collection of shell scripts for automating iOS Xcode project builds, packaging .ipa files, and publishing them to fir.im or a self-hosted server. The project is deprecated and its README recommends using fastlane or fir-cli instead.

## Use cases
- build an ipa from an xcode project from the command line
- automate compiling an xcode workspace with a scheme
- build a cocoapods-based ios project via script
- publish an ipa to fir.im or my own server
- send an email notification after a build
- clean and rebuild an ios app in release configuration

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy iOS build pipeline that already depends on these scripts
- you need a minimal, dependency-light shell-based alternative to fastlane on an old toolchain

## When to avoid
- starting a new iOS CI/CD setup - use fastlane or xcodebuild directly
- publishing to fir.im - the official fir-cli is recommended
- you need an actively maintained or licensed tool

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: abandoned
- function: build-tool, deployment, cli, developer-tools
- domain: mobile-development, developer-tools, apple-ecosystem
- platform: cli
- tags: ios, xcode, ipa, shell-scripts, cocoapods, deprecated, app-distribution, automation, macos
