Continuous integration for mobile

" summary

Starts with Travis CI then moves to self‑hosted Jenkins because control over devices and plugins matters; a templated Jenkins pipeline generation creates per‑branch build, test and distribution jobs automatically. Tests use Robolectric, Espresso and Appium (uploader spells apium) with physical devices, emulators and cloud farms (Testdroid/TestObject/BrowserStack). CI enforces SonarQube code‑quality gates and coverage metrics, uploads artifacts to Crashlytics and HockeyApp, and pushes nightly beta builds to Google Play with Cloud Test Lab monkey runs for automated stability checks.
