CTOnews.com, August 31 (Xinhua)-- after more than a year of internal testing, Apple today announced that it will offer Xcode Cloud subscription services to all developers.

To put it simply, Xcode Cloud is a continuous integration and delivery service built into Xcode programs that aims to provide developers with cloud-based tools to help developers better develop App, run automated tests, and speed up the development process through other tasks, while making it easier for test distribution and receiving user feedback.

Xcode Cloud is a continuous integration and delivery service built into Xcode that accelerates the development and delivery of high-quality applications. By configuring the workflow in Xcode, you will get 25 free computing hours per month by the end of 2023. Account holders can now subscribe to more compute hours in the Apple Developer application.

Xcode Cloud offers three different payment models:

The $49.99 monthly version can use 100 computing hours.

The $99.99 monthly version can use 250 computing hours.

$399.99 per month can be used for 1000 calculation hours.

According to Apple, developers can switch between these plans at any time. The company also pointed out that the free program is a limited service for developers who are members of Apple's developer program. Starting in 2024, the previously free 25-hour program charges $14.99 a month.

CTOnews.com reminds you that a computing hour is an hour to perform a task in the cloud, such as developing an application or running tests. The usage of calculation hours can be tracked in App Store Connect and Apple Developer apps, and other information can be seen on Apple's Xcode Cloud website.
