Build tool for iOS and Mac projects

I don't like to depend on the IDE (Xcode) to build my projects, I want an IDE-Free build tool for iOS and Mac projects.
In Java we could use Ant, Maven, Gradle, Raven...

We open-sourced our XCode Maven plug-in some weeks ago. At SAP we use it to build all our iOS apps and libraries centrally with Maven and manage dependencies in a product standard compliant way.

Some overview documentation and binaries on Maven central are still missing, but the sources and technical documentation are already available on Github. If you have questions please write to our mailing list. We will try to help you.

xcode-maven-plugin2

Kind regards, Alex

We use successfully ant for building iOS projects. Basically we need it for continues integration (we use Jenkins). Most developers prefer using XCode IDE, but some of them sometimes (I would say rarely) use ant for quickly building projects from console after quick small change.

Basically you need to call xcodebuild using ant task. But if you need more complex examples google for jenkins (or hudson) + xcode (or iOS, iPhone).
