You might be interested in trying www.buddybuild.com as a simple alternative to scripting a basic CI.

Is Travis CI capable of building and shipping my Ionic 2 app to Testflight / Hockey or direct install on the iPhones of my organisation? Thank you

Hey,
I am working with this and not able to get how to create a TESTFLIGHT_API_TOKEN. Can someone please explain how we can generate that directly from developer.Testflight "https://developer.apple.com/testflight/" site. Thanks!!
