iOS and Mac App Testing
While the growth of DevOps has helped move testing into the software development workflow via continuous integration and automated unit and integration testing, there will always be a place for a quality assurance (QA) team to complete more thorough testing before releasing an app update.

Mobile app testing uses a combination of local devices, real device clouds, and iOS simulators (which need to run on macOS instances).
Certain tests need to run in your hand to get a feel for responsiveness and real-world “feel,” and others need to run on real devices to understand complex hardware interactions. That still leaves lots of tests for different device sizes, iOS versions, etc. that can be run more cost-effectively on iOS simulators running on Xcode.

Mac app testing

Apps built for macOS can be more complex than mobile apps given the inherent difference in use cases. In addition, Mac apps typically need to support more OS versions and interact with more uncertainty.
Far from the walled-garden of iOS, Mac apps need to perform well despite other apps that may be running and peripherals that may be attached.
MacStadium clouds provide QA teams with an easy way to test Mac apps in TONS of different environments using pre-configured VMs with different versions of macOS, different OS settings, different apps running, etc.
Xcode supports debugging, testing, and profiling your iOS app natively on Macs with Apple silicon. When you open your iOS project in Xcode 12 or later, you have the option to build your app and run it directly on macOS. This option doesn’t run your app in a Simulator; it runs it as an iOS App for Mac.
- Hey everyone, I recently got a macbook air and I'm really enjoying it. It's a really good computer and I would recommend it to anyone who is in the market fo.
- It is not possible to install the iOS Simulator on any operating system except macOS; if you want to develop an app for iOS from a Windows machine then you will need to use a physical iOS device. Step 1: Install Xcode.
