Building Mobile Apps with Open Source Tools
summary
Facebook describes the actual tooling and numbers: code lands via git with code review in Fabricator, CI on Buildbot, ~15 APK variants, ~1M beta and ~20k daily alpha users, and builds that drop a full clean from ~10 minutes to ~1 minute with distributed caching. It demos a fast Java-centric build system Buck (clean Buck build 27s vs ant 53s), JVM tests with Robolectric, iOS parallel reporter XCtool, crash symbolication via atsl, and open source repos for each tool.
