Some of my colleagues at Pivotal are running iOS builds with it. That is, they're running builds on a Mac which has an iOS device plugged into it. The workers are run using Houdini, which is a container management daemon that, er doesn't use containers:

There's a blog post by someone else at Pivotal, although the details are probably a bit out of date by now:

As the author of that blog post I can confirm some of that is out of date. Hopefully I can find some time to update the post for 1.0, but the main concepts still work.

At Pivotal Toronto we're running iOS and Android builds using a mac mini as an external worker. What's been a great built in feature is using the pool resource to "check-out" a device and lock it from other tests while a suite is running.

Updates would be awesome but that blog post covered a lot, thanks! I'll spend some time looking into Concourse now.

Also, if you have some free time I would love to chat about your experience so far -- I work about 15 minutes away from Pivotal's Toronto office. My email address is listed in my profile.
