How cool would it be to be able to develop an iOS app entirely on the iPhone or iPad. Or use Final Cut Pro X on the iPhone or iPad. It would be amazing, wouldn't it? Maybe Apple thinks so too.
Youtuber Jon Prosser has another message on the short message service Twitter tweetedAccording to this, Apple is allegedly developing an Xcode version for iPhone and iPad, which will be available from iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 respectively. This would pave the way for pro applications on iPhone and iPad respectively. Many tasks can be completed without any problems on an iOS device. Some users have already completely replaced their MacBook with an iPad. But in some areas, Mac devices are still necessary, for example in app development. However, this could change very soon, from iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 to be precise. If Apple actually takes this step, it would open up a whole host of new possibilities - even pro applications such as Final Cut Pro X could eventually be run on the iPad. According to Prosser, this will not be the well-known Xcode preview app (companion application), which is already included in iOS 13.
Unveiling at WWDC 2020?
According to him, he knows more than he wants to reveal at the moment. So it remains to be seen what exactly is in store for us. So far, it is not possible to develop iPhone or iPad apps directly on an iOS device - the exception is the Swift Playground application, which is intended for learning. A Mac device is therefore still required to develop a full-fledged iOS app. What a full version of Xcode on the iPhone or iPad might look like is also unknown. If Apple actually takes this step, it will certainly please some users. We will probably find out whether there is any truth to this statement at WWDC 2020 at the earliest. This year's World Wide Developer Conference is to be held digitally for the first time in June - Apple has already announced this. confirmedHowever, the company has not yet announced a specific event date.
