I'm looking to setup an automated nightly build server for our iphone apps, and looking for advice on what works and what doesn't.
Basically, something that at least nightly runs all the unit tests and publishes a new adhoc build to our internal website.
All the developers use laptops (which'll be off overnight), so I'm considering getting a dedicated Mac Mini to do this.
I'm not sure if I should get standard Mac OS X or the server edition.
At least for the first attempt, I'm considering just using a simple shell script run from a crontab to do the actual work. In the future a full continuous integration server (hudson etc) would be good.
I've already found a few articles through searching, though they're quite brief:

http://blog.jeffreyfredrick.com/2008/11/27/continuous-integration-for-iphonexcode-projects/
and also this stackoverflow question has some useful software info (though it's two years old now):
Continuous Integration for Xcode projects?
Any guidance people can give on how they've setup a build server and any potential issues would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Joseph
