  • No Mac needed.
  • Install Loop on remote phones. I.e. phones that are not connected to your computer.
  • Have easy access to install/restore Loop on new phones.
  • GitHub provides correct Xcode/Mac versions; no upgrade maintenance.
  • Deploy to newer versions of iOS, as soon as your phone is updated.
  • Developer mode not needed on phones or on watch.
  • Easily revert to previously built versions of Loop.

See Setup Instructions for setting this up for yourself.

Thanks to @budsterblue for submitting #23, which provided the impetus to dig into this, and formed the initial template for the FastLane + Github Actions part of it.

Downsides:

  • TestFlight requires apple id accounts 13 years or older.
  • App must be updated once every 90 days. But it's a simple click to make a new build.
  • Setup is somewhat involved. But is one-time. Subsequent builds are trivial.
