How much does it cost?
The cheapest tier will be available from $14.99 until December 2023 and will give users 25 hours per month.
It only gets more expensive from there, 100 hours will sting you $44.99 per month, 250 hours will cost you $99.99 per month, while 1,000 hours costs $399.99 per month.
Xcode is fully integrated with TestFlight, a freeware service that allows for over-the-air installation and testing of mobile applications, which allows developers to feedback before releasing their apps on the App Store.
Apple also said that the new version of Xcode builds up to 25% faster than its previous iteration, and its app footprint is 30% smaller.
