iOS 6
DROP IT LIKE ITS HAHT

Start of Sprint 55: * new feature work is done in a separate branch (experimental/prototype1, etc.)

Sprint 56 Release is the last "planned" iOS-6-compatible release; we *may* decide to do the final iOS 6 release on the first Tuesday of Sprint 56 instead of deferring to the first Tuesday of Sprint 57

GitHub
Dependency for implementing new branching strategy Going to email mobile-tech and talk to Tomasz. Show him Brian's GitHub fork w/ Travis & Coveralls

Criteria

 * Keep master green
 * Account for things being kicked back from QA
 * We need to make sure new branching strategies work with CI

Strategies

 * Release branching when builds are cut
 * Cut release branches w/ release candidate builds
 * Regular development continues on master
 * Hot-fixes get merged into release branch

We need to figure out a branching strategy before we need to merge new feature work (end of Sprint 55) ^ Current plan is to merge into master

Crash Reporting in Xcode 6
Better than iTC on the web!

Testing Frameworks
BDD Frameworks:

Resolution: Use OCMockito as mocking framework. Use Expecta/Nimble as main matching framework and keep Hamcrest in the project if needed to use as mock args. Need to experiment a bit more with Nimble.
