Apple announced the Xcode Cloud service for the first time at the WWDC 21 event. The technology giant has now started invitations to participate in beta tests of the service.
Technology giant Apple sent messages to some developers the other day informing them that they can now test and use Xcode Cloud platforms in their developer accounts.
Xcode Cloud aims to fix frustrations faster
The Xcode Cloud service, built into Xcode 13, allows developers to build, test, and publish applications in the cloud instead of on the Mac. The company also stated that with its new service, teams can identify and resolve problems more quickly.
The service, where developers can make changes to the codes, will also ensure that the changes are seen by everyone on that team, as it stores and compiles the codes in the cloud service.
In addition, Apple aims to complete automated tests in a short time by running them in parallel. While applications are simulated to run on every Apple device and platform, after compilation, the application can be automatically distributed not only to testers in a team, but also to external beta testers with TestFlight.
Apple also emphasized security with the Xcode Cloud, stating that the source code of the applications is used in a temporary compilation environment. The service ensures that the code is kept private by storing only the products of the assembly.
Finally, it is worth mentioning that Apple allowed developers to sign up for the beta waiting list for the first time in early 2021.
