<h2 class="scriptor-paragraph">Why iOS CI Matters: Key Benefits</h2>
<ul class="">
<li class="scriptor-listItemlist!list-79c41048-d3bd-4591-9644-7a2724a9aae50"><strong>Quick Feedback Loop</strong>: CI keeps you in the loop by testing code changes automatically, flagging issues early before they snowball into major bugs.</li>
<li class="scriptor-listItemlist!list-79c41048-d3bd-4591-9644-7a2724a9aae50"><strong>Standardized Builds</strong>: CI pipelines lock down build consistency, wiping out those annoying discrepancies caused by different dev environments.</li>
<li class="scriptor-listItemlist!list-79c41048-d3bd-4591-9644-7a2724a9aae50"><strong>Faster Time-to-Market</strong>: With automated workflows, devs get more time for actual coding while the pipeline handles testing, building, and deploying—efficiently and reliably.</li>
<li class="scriptor-listItemlist!list-79c41048-d3bd-4591-9644-7a2724a9aae50"><strong>Better Team Collaboration</strong>: CI brings everyone’s code into one place, making collaboration smoother and reducing deployment hiccups</li>
