Developer Review: 2017 MacBook 12

by Marcus Zarra

After much consideration and review, I recently purchased a 2017 MacBook.

No, not a MacBook Pro 13 or 15. I purchased the 12 inch MacBook. The small laptop that people say over and over again cannot be used for development.

This is a living review of that MacBook as used by a macOS/iOS developer.

Xcode Continuous Integration: “Server encountered an error with Apple Developer”

by Matt Long

If you get this message when you are adding your server to a team to implement continuous integration using Xcode bots and OS X server:

Server encountered an error with Apple Developer.

Please try again later. If the problem persists, contact Apple Developer Technical Support for help.

It could be a red herring. There’s a support note here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203853 that states the issue has to do with making sure you login as an Agent or Admin. That’s probably a valid scenario, but it may not be as in my case. I got this error message simply because an updated program license agreement needed to be accepted on the web portal. Once that was done, I was able to add the server to the team and could continue on.

(Yes, I know it’s April first, but this is not a joke)
