shenzhen: A Ruby repository from paulb00th

Create .ipa files and then distribute them with TestFlight or HockeyApp, all from the command line!

Less cumbersome than clicking around in Xcode, and less hassle than rolling your own build script--Shenzhen radically improves the process of getting new builds out to testers and enterprises.

shenzhen is named for 深圳, the Chinese city famous for its role as the center of manufacturing for a majority of consumer electronics, including iPhones and iPads. It's part of a series of world-class command-line utilities for iOS development, which includes Cupertino (Apple Dev Center management), Houston (Push Notifications), Venice (In-App Purchase Receipt Verification), and Dubai (Passbook pass generation).
