Apple Xcode

Overview

The Apple Xcode plug-in includes steps that manage the continuous delivery of Apple iOS applications by interacting with simulators and devices. These steps include tasks that are related to installing and removing the application on devices and simulators, and running tests as part of a DevOps solution. The plug-in also includes steps for creating and deleting simulators.

This plug-in is developed and supported by the UrbanCode Deploy Community on the IBM® DevOps Services platform.
