Circle CI

Circle CI is a service that allows you to run automated workflows in response to events that are triggered in a repository. You can use Circle CI to automate tasks such as building, testing, and deploying your code.

This guide will show you how to use Circle CI to create and test on your Corellium devices.

Prerequisites​

To use Circle CI with Corellium, you will need:

  • A Corellium account
  • A code repository
  • A Corellium API token
  • A Circle CI account connected to the repository

Create a Corellium API token​

To use Circle CI with Corellium, you will need to create a Corellium API token, which you can do in our Web UI.

Create a repository​

To use Circle CI with Corellium, you will need to create a repository in the code repository service of your choice. For example, GitLab, GitHub, Bitbucket, etc.

Add your environment variables​

To use Circle CI with Corellium, you will need to add your Corellium API token and Project ID to your Circle CI environment variables.

To do this, go to your repository's settings in Circle CI and add the following environment variables:

  • CORELLIUM_API_TOKEN: Your Corellium API token
  • CORELLIUM_PROJECT: Your Corellium project ID

Create a Circle CI workflow​

To use Circle CI with Corellium, you will need to create a Circle CI workflow. You can do this by creating a file called .circleci/config.yml in your repository.

The following example workflow will run the following steps every push:

  1. Create a device (an iPhone 6 running iOS 12.5.6)
  2. Show the installed apps
  3. List the device's files
  4. Stop the device
  5. Delete the device
