Yes, there have been updates to Xcode Cloud presented at WWDC 2024. Here are some highlights:

  1. Integration and Security:

    • Xcode Cloud is bundled for free with 25 compute hours per month for your developer account.
    • It allows you to configure workflows to start testing in the cloud as soon as you push to a certain branch, view the results inside Xcode, and even configure it to submit directly to TestFlight or the App Store Connect when your tests pass.
    • Xcode Cloud is secure and private, with data encrypted at rest and access protected by two-factor authentication. Your source code is only used when building, and the build environment is destroyed as soon as your build completes. (Xcode essentials)
  2. Extending Workflows:

    • Xcode Cloud workflows can be extended using manual start conditions, custom aliases, and custom scripts to scale your team's workflows.
    • Integration with other systems using the App Store Connect API and webhooks is also possible. (Extend your Xcode Cloud workflows)
  3. Custom Scripts:

    • You can define custom scripts inside your repository that will be run at specific points in your build process, such as after your repository is cloned, before Xcode build is run, or after Xcode build is run. (Extend your Xcode Cloud workflows)
