Summary

Xcode 14 beta was announced at WWDC 2022, bringing new features for creating, testing, and distributing apps for all Apple platforms. The latest release includes a multiplatform app experience with Swift and SwiftUI, enhanced editor features, and support for Xcode Cloud to TestFlight and the App Store. A binary is now 30% smaller than before, and downloadable simulator runtimes are available for watchOS and tvOS. An open-source project called Food Truck was demonstrated during the State of the Union session, showcasing Swift, SwiftUI, and more using a single codebase and app target for Mac, iPad, and iPhone. The prerequisites for this hands-on lab include Xcode 14 beta or later, an Apple Developer account, and a Bitrise free account. To get started, open the project in Xcode 14, select the Food Truck project, and configure the team and signing & capabilities. Simple UI tests can be added to the project, and the app can be archived for deployment to TestFlight and the App Store. Finally, the application is added to Bitrise for CI/CD workflows, where it's built, tested, and archived using Xcode 14 and an M1 machine.
