Re: [WikimediaMobile] [Apps] Summary: Sprint 53, iOS (16 March - 29 March)

Hi everyone, This is the summary of the work the Android team is planning on tackling in sprint 53. You can see the full workboard in Phabricator <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/mobile-app-sprint-53-ios/>. We're currently on track to get a production release by the end of the quarter which contains lead images, image gallery, and read more. To ensure that we remain on track, our primary priority in sprint 53 will be to fix bugs reported by our release to TestFlight, to keep our production release on track. Our significant feature backlog compared to Android has meant we've pushed really hard on features with little regard for technical debt. While putting our users needs above our own has made us all feel warm and fuzzy, we need to spend a little time tackling the technical debt that we've accumulated over the quarter. We'll be spending sprint 53 setting up a build server so that people have easier access to our alpha testing builds, and we'll be hooking up a dashboard that lets us see our unit tests running in real time. We'll also be auditing our API usage in preparation for our final release that supports iOS 6. We have two stretch goals for the sprint too: getting Jenkins to run our unit tests when a patch is submitted (which is more complicated than for other teams for a variety of technical reasons) and having our build server actually submit beta TestFlight builds to Apple automatically. We're unsure if we'll get to these tasks, so that's why their stretch goals. If you have any questions, feel free to let me know!
