On Monday, Apple alerted developers that
a new beta of Xcode 7 was now available, the sixth beta of the IDE program. The new build, 7A192o, includes an XCTest user interface testing tool, and fixes issues with watchOS app installation protocols and Xcode source control management. The beta also updates its support for forthcoming iOS, watchOS and OS X versions and the latest betas of same.
Xcode 7 will also include new features such as App Thinning, which reduces the size of iOS apps by optimizing them for the device they are on (such as an iPhone or iPad). It also includes support for the Swift 2.0 language, and further compatibility with TestFlight, Apple's iOS app-testing suite. The latest beta is available from the Apple
developer website.
Tim Cook to speak on enterprise at BoxWorks conference
Cloud storage firm Box has announced that Apple CEO Tim Cook
will be interviewed on stage during the company's
BoxWorks developer conference in San Francisco on September 29. The event, which runs from September 28-30, focuses on enterprise, and Box CEO Aaron Levie said that would also be the topic of his chat with Cook. For his part, Cook had previously congratulated Box on its successful IPO

"Tim and I will discuss Apple's role in enterprise, and where they plan to go from here," Levie wrote in the announcement. "Beyond Apple's unfathomable influence on the technology landscape, I admire Tim immensely as a leader and an individual, and hopefully we can also talk about his impact beyond tech to make the world a better place." One of the other notable speakers on the bill is Ed Catmull of Pixar.
