what's new in xcode cloud ?

Xcode Cloud has introduced several new features and improvements at WWDC 2024. Here are some of the highlights:

Integration with Xcode 16: Xcode Cloud is seamlessly integrated with Xcode 16, allowing you to test and distribute your apps efficiently. This integration helps you stay focused and work faster by leveraging cloud-based tools for building apps, running automated tests, and managing user feedback (Platforms State of the Union).
Extensible Workflows: Xcode Cloud now offers powerful and extensible features that allow you to scale and extend your workflows. This includes the ability to create custom scripts, manage custom aliases, and integrate with other systems using the App Store Connect API and webhooks (Extend your Xcode Cloud workflows).
Security and Privacy: Xcode Cloud ensures that your data is secure and private. Data is encrypted at rest, and access is protected by two-factor authentication. Your source code is only used during the build process, and the build environment is destroyed once the build is complete (Xcode essentials).
Custom Scripts and Aliases: You can define custom scripts within your repository to run at specific points in your build process. Additionally, custom aliases can be created and managed to streamline your workflows (Extend your Xcode Cloud workflows).
Workflow Scaling: As your app grows, you can scale your workflows in Xcode Cloud to handle increased complexity and demands. This includes running automated tests in parallel and delivering apps to testers efficiently (Extend your Xcode Cloud workflows).
