![]() Priceįor now, Xcode Cloud has very competitive plans. Also, the environment is dedicated to Apple apps, so we can expect that build performance will be increasing with time. Future developmentįor now, Xcode Cloud is very simple, but I assume that Apple will present new features soon. We can quite reasonably assume that Xcode Cloud will get a day one support for every new platform feature, beta system, and beta simulator. Once you set up Xcode Cloud, all your team members added to the project will automatically get access to see and run builds in Xcode. If you have ever set up CI/CD, you know what I am talking about :D. You don’t have to generate API keys, export certificates, go from door to door to find the person who’s got a distribution certificate, etc. You can instantly build your project and release it to TestFlight and App Store. Now you just add Xcode Cloud to your project and it gets automatically access to all provisioning profiles and certificates. SimplicityĪnother important thing is the simplicity of the configuration. We don’t need extra tools to format test results etc. Test results are displayed in the same way, we can see logs and warnings as if we run the build locally. Xcode Cloud gives also a similar experience to our daily work with Xcode. This is a really significant advantage, it provides a smooth experience without leaving Xcode. You can even see snapshots from your tests and rebuild branch. ![]() You can check your builds, change workflows, check which test failed and navigate directly to its source code. Now you can see your CI/CD system directly in Xcode. And this is what Apple gives us with Xcode Cloud. Why Xcode Cloud is worth trying outĪs we all know, it is very comfortable to have everything built into one ecosystem. If not please at least take a look at my post: Xcode Cloud – overview & setup. I assume that you have a general idea of how Xcode Cloud works and what it offers. In this post, I will share my thoughts and the problems I encountered. More details about how Xcode Cloud works can be found on the Apple Developer website.I recently had the opportunity to try migrating a large commercial project to the Xcode Cloud for testing purposes. We’ll share more information closer to general availability. The beta program will continue to expand over the coming weeks, and Xcode Cloud is on track to be generally available to developers this year. Developer feedback is proving incredibly valuable in helping us refine the product. Thank you for participating in the Xcode Cloud beta, which is going strong with over 10,000 developer teams enabled. The email also reaffirms that Xcode Cloud will be officially released to all developers later this year, although no specific date has been provided. However, what’s most notable in the email is that Apple revealed access to the Xcode Cloud beta will be expanded to more developers “over the coming weeks,” which suggests that more developers will be invited to try out the platform in February. ![]() The company says the beta program is “going strong with over 10,000 developer teams enabled” and it also highlights some updates that have been made so far. In an email seen by 9to5Mac, Apple thanks developers who have been invited to test Xcode Cloud since the beta release last year. While the platform is still available as a private beta, Apple says access will be expanded to more developers soon, while the official launch is still expected later this year. Apple last year announced Xcode Cloud, which is a new platform that lets developers accelerate the development process by running automated tests and other tasks in the cloud. ![]()
