Apple Releases Xcode 7.1 With Support for tvOS, iOS 9.1, More

Apple has released Xcode 7.1 bringing support for tvOS, iOS 9.1, Swift 2.1, and more.

Xcode includes everything developers need to create great applications for Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and Apple Watch. Xcode provides developers a unified workflow for user interface design, coding, testing, and debugging. The Xcode IDE combined with the Cocoa frameworks and Swift programming language make developing apps easier and more fun than ever before.

What's New In This Version:
Xcode 7.1 includes Swift 2.1 and SDKs for iOS 9.1, watchOS 2, tvOS, and OS X 10.11 El Capitan.


Now you can go beyond the simulator to test your app on an iPad, iPhone, Apple TV, or Apple Watch — for free. Simply enter your Apple ID into the Accounts preference pane, then attach a device to your Mac using a Lightning cable. You can use the same Apple ID you already use for iCloud, iTunes, or the App Store, or create a new one. Join the Apple Developer Program when you’re ready to distribute or submit your apps to the App Store.

• Support for tvOS including storyboards, unit and UI testing, playgrounds, and crash logs
