What you'll learn:
- Build your app in the cloud on demand or on every commit
- Test on real iOS devices
- Distribute new builds to beta testers
- Monitor app crashes and performance with comprehensive analytics
- Engage your customers with targeted push notifications
Think aboutthe last time you released an app. How many sessions did your beta testers run? How often did it crash? Where did users spend the most time? Visual Studio App Center gathers this data for you automatically and consolidates into a single web-based dashboard. It alsoprovides a complete continuous-integration/continuous-deployment (CI/CD) solution for your iOS and macOS applications.
You connect your repo to App Center and it builds your apps on cloud-hosted agents, automatically runs unit and UI tests on real devices, and distributes them to beta tester and app stores. After deployment, App Center helps you monitor your apps with crash reports and advanced analytics. It even lets you send targeted push notifications to keep your customers engaged.
This project-based course shows you how to automate your iOS development process. You will start with a provided iOS Swift application and gradually incorporate App Center services. By the end of the course, you will have a native iOS Swift app with a fully integrated CI/CD pipeline.
By the end of this course you will be able to:
Build your app in the cloud on demand or on every commit
Test on real iOS devices
Distribute new builds to beta testers
Monitor app crashes and performance with comprehensive analytics
Engage your customers with targeted push notifications
