Apple Inc. is on a constant endeavour to nurture its iPhone app development community by offering new tools and frameworks for simplifies development process. This time the company takes a major step in this direction. Apple acquires Vancouver-based Buddybuild Startup Company – the one that focuses on continuous integration and debugging tools for iOS apps.

Founders of Buddybuild - Christopher Stott, Dennis Pilarinos and Johnny Shi officially announced this acquisition by stating “The buddybuild team is now part of Apple!” in its blog section. This comes as good news to iPhone app development company as well as entire iOS app developers community - let’s know how it will matter them:

Buddybuild’s Contribution to iOS App Development

Buddybuild helps in building software that could be of effective use for developers to build apps or software for iPhone or other iOS based devices. This Buddybuild software is the only mobile continuous integration and delivery platform that sets up in just few minutes and enables developers to start building and testing their apps in no time.

This startup binds together integration, delivery and an iterative feedback solution into a single, seamless platform. With such ability, iPhone app development companies need not involve in disparate systems to accomplish app development needs.

“We're excited to share that the buddybuild team has joined the Xcode engineering group at Apple to build amazing developer tools for the entire iOS community.”
                                                                                                                                    -Buddybuild

Buddybuild team is supposed to join Xcode engineering team of Apple Inc. With this expansion, Apple is looking forward to simplify or ease the process of development and deployment to App Store. Developers can pace up the shipment of iOS apps by integration with services like GitHub, BitBucket and GitLab.

Following pointers give a zest of contribution of Buddybuild software in entire development lifecycle:
  • "Git push" creates a secure build environment
  • Triggers a build of an iOS app
  • Runs unit or UI tests 
  • Prepares app for beat test
  • Deploys to Apple's TestFlight

What does Apple Inc. Look Forward to with this Acquisition?

Apple plans to make iOS app development more simple, easy and accessible to everyone. Its acquisition of Buddybuild comes in the same lines of creating and iterating iOS apps in efficient manner. Through this mobile iteration platform that is completely focused on continuous integration and debugging tools is aimed to give iOS app development team a simple workflow for iterating and pushing apps out into the world through GitLab, GitHub or BitBucket.

The Buddybuild system is supposed to fit into Apple’s existing set of tools. In addition to that, the system will allow for integration of new methods for testing, debugging and deploying iOS apps through a systematic channel. Apple plans to improvise app development and deployment process to make available useful apps to iOS users. It would be exciting to know how Google copes up with this rapid pace of development and fast inflow of apps into Apple App Store after this acquisition.

Apple Watch: The Next Fashionable Tech Device


The Apple Watch, above all else, proves that Apple is exceptionally good at refining concepts. The Apple Watch is easily the most refined smartwatch you can spend your technology-buying dollars on.




Fashionable


It's impossible to start assessing the Apple Watch without recognizing that Apple is very-heavily positioning it as a fashion desirable, and how that changes perceptions of it.


Apple's had plenty of products with three different models before, but within each of those selections runs a variety of choices that are everything to do with fashion and nothing to do with functionality.

Fashion is naturally a matter of both taste and trends, and it's very much a personal and budgetary decision which combination suits you.

Operating System Speed


Apple's usual methodology for review samples is to send out the best and brightest, but I doubt anyone's sitting there testing the top-end Apple Watch Edition. In most practical technology terms, though, they didn't need to, because there are only the smallest of differences between each model. 

The smaller 38mm Apple Watch measures in at 21.2 26.5mm with a 272 x 340 pixel 290ppi AMOLED display, while the larger 42mm Watch measures 24.3 30.38mm with a 312 x 390 pixel 302ppi display. Predictably, being Apple, they're both dubbed "Retina" displays.

The display on the Apple Watch Sport is certainly bright and vibrant even under direct sunlight, although the more you pump up the brightness the less overall battery life you'll get.

Apple Watch Apps


Apple didn't invent the smartwatch, but one of the smarter refinements it's brought to the process is in bringing in a lot of app developers to produce watch-centric apps at launch. 

 
A very small smartwatch screen isn't ideal for displaying lengthy information, and not every available app uses that idea sensibly. The app selection includes a wide variety of Australian-specific apps, from shopping companion apps to public transport checkers, with the usual mix of paid and free apps on offer.

The Apple Watch comes with ten different configurable faces - Utility, modular, simple, Motion, Astronomy, Colour, Sonar, Chronograph, Mickey and X-Large. Yes, that's Mickey as in Mickey Mouse.

The Charging Issue


Like most other smartwatches, the Apple Watch charges via an inductive plate, which is supplied with the Apple Watch Sport and Apple Watch; if you opt for the pricier Apple Watch Edition the case is apparently the inductive charger itself. 

 
Charging itself is reasonably fast from the provided charger, although being USB-ended you could charge it from just about any USB port at all.

If you're just using it as a watch, it could last up to 72 hours. Those are all Apple's figures, but my own testing largely bears them out.

Apple Watch Reviews



Where Apple Watch wins is potential - it has a lot of space for the improvement of apps and delivery of genuinely new functions. Right now the Watch App store is cluttered with a lot of repetitive apps and UI choices that need serious refinement in the same way that Apple redefined the mobile space.

Apple launched iOS 8.4 Beta for Developers with Revamped Music App


Apple today seeded the first beta of iOS 8.4 to registered developers for testing purposes, just five days after releasing iOS 8.3 to the public. The beta, build 12H4074d, is available for download from the iOS Developer Center, alongside the Xcode 6.4 beta.


iOS 8.4 introduces a newly-revamped Music app, which includes a new design that shows pictures of artists in the Artists view and offers personalized playlists.It also offers a new MiniPlayer, a redesigned look for "Now Playing," global search capabilities that make it easier to search from anywhere within the Music app, and a streamlined design for iTunes Radio to improve music discovery.

Streamlined iTunes Radio. Discovering music with iTunes Radio is easier than ever. You can now quickly return to your favorite stations in Recently Played. Choose from a selection of hand-curated stations in Featured Stations, or start a new one from your favorite artist or song.


New MiniPlayer. With the new MiniPlayer, you can see what’s playing and control playback while browsing your music collection. To open Now Playing, just tap on the MiniPlayer.

Global Search. You can now search from anywhere in the Music app — just tap the magnifying glass. Search results are conveniently organized to help you quickly find that perfect song. You can even start an iTunes Radio station right from Search.

iOS 8.4 follows hot on the heels of iOS 8.3, which introduced new diversified emoji, a revamped emoji picker, Wireless CarPlay, and more. iOS 8.4 and the new Music app come ahead of Apple's new streaming music service, rumored to be debuting in June at the Worldwide Developers Conference.

Apple's List of 2015: iPhone 7, Apple Watch, iPad Pro & More


For Apple, 2015 is going to be huge and there are some probable speculations of several products that can be the highlight of the year. Take a glimpse of the products, that Apple may unveil this year.

Apple Watch


 
Apple Watch is definitely going to get released this year, as the company has already announced it. This is going to be the first smartwatch by Apple, and it's most likely to launch in mid spring. Health related apps can be the main focus of this watch.

iPhone 7



Although it is a long time until Apple will officially confirm the release of the next generation iPhone, such a device release is absolutely inevitable. The iPhone 6 was another massive success for Apple, indicating that the momentum generated by the world’s most successful smartphone has yet to halt significantly.

iPhone 6s



There has been absolutely no word from the Cupertino-based Company on this persistent Internet gossip, but it would be logical for Apple to release an affordable smartphone for the budget and East Asian marketplace in particular.

iPad Pro



The iPad was a massive success when Apple originally released it, and although the tablet market has slowed since then, last year saw Apple significantly refresh its tablet range, breathing new life into the iPad.

iPad Air & iPad Mini



These two more consumer-focused devices will also probably see the light of day in 2015, as Apple looks to improve his entire iPad range. It is unlikely that Apple will redesign these industry-leading tablets to a great extent, and the focus will probably on upgrading its capabilities and internal components.

iOS 9




There are already reports that Apple’s next operating system for mobiles will be ready in due course, and iOS 9 is being linked with the next iPhone release in September. Functionality in this latest version of the critically acclaimed operating system will likely focus on mobile payment and Apple Watch functionality in particular.

12-Inch MacBook



There are already reports that Apple’s next operating system for mobiles will be ready in due course, and IOS 9 is being linked with the next iPhone release in September. Functionality in this latest version of the critically acclaimed operating system will likely focus on mobile payment and Apple Watch functionality in particular.

Apple TV



Apple TV has been somewhat neglected in recent years, which is perhaps not surprising given that it has always been a minor product for Apple, with massive sellers such as the iPhone driving the company forwards both creatively and economically.

How To Fix Some Common iOS 8.1.2 Issues


Apple’s new iOS 8.1.2 update is now live for all versions of the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch running iOS 8 and while it doesn’t come with new features it does come with some fixes for iOS 8 problems. It’s also causing some problems for select iPhone and iPad users.


Let's take a look at some of the iOS 8.1.2 problems that have popped up and some of the problems that have the potential to pop up for iOS 8.1.2 users in the future.

How to Fix iOS 8.1.2 Installation Problems



One of the initial iOS 8.1.2 problems that we’re seeing relates to the installation process. It’s not server issues troubling iPhone and iPad users, it’s an inability to get the update installed after the download process begins. This is an issue that plagues just about every iOS update and it appears that a few people are running into this issue right off the bat with iOS 8.1.2. Fortunately, there’s an easy fix for the issue.

If the iPhone or iPad gets stuck during the iOS 8.1.1 installation, users will want to perform a hard reset by holding down the power button and home button at the same time for a few seconds until the device restarts. This typically gets the update’s juices flowing again. If it doesn’t continue automatically, it may simply start over.

How to Fix iOS 8.1.2 Battery Life Problems



Per usual, we’re seeing complaints about battery life after the iOS 8.1.2 release. This isn’t unusual, we always see complaints about abnormal drain or various other issues after Apple releases a new iOS update.

There are a number of things that iPhone and iPad owners can try should a device start experiencing heavy battery drain after the iOS 8.1.2 installation or in the days and weeks after the installation process completes. Battery life issues won’t necessarily pop up right at the start and will often times emerge in the days, weeks and months after an update’s arrival.

While there are a ton of things that users recommend, we think there are several key fixes that iPhone and iPad owners should try. These fixes range from small settings tweaks to changes in your daily use. All of them have the potential to fix bad iOS 8.1.2 battery life and we highly recommend looking at them before performing a hard reset.

How to Fix iOS 8.1.2 App Issues



As we’ve noted in our reviews, app performance is strong with iOS 8.1.2 on board. That said, there’s always a chance that some users will encounter difficulties with apps after making the move.

iPhone and iPad users can’t rely on iOS updates for app fixes. Instead, users will need to rely on third-party developers (the makers of the app) and some useful changes to bad habits.

First, make sure applications on the iPhone or iPad are updated. Bug fixes and app updates with support for iOS 8 have been trickling out since launch. iPhone and iPad users who are forgetful or lazy will want to turn on automatic App Store updates because it will keep apps automatically behind the scenes. Auto updates will ensure that they are always on the latest version with the latest bug fixes. To do that, head into Settings > iTunes & App Store > Toggle Updates on.

iOS 8.1.1 Update Unveiled by Apple for iPhone & iPad


On Monday, Apple reveals iOS update 8.1.1 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, but if you have already done a jailbreak, just stay away from the update as it enables the pangu8 jailbreak.


This new update of iOS 8.1.1 fixes plenty of bugs that were encountered in the previous version, generating a more stable system. You can easily have the update by over-the-air, simple go to settings > General > Software Update.

There is also an other alternative way by simply connecting your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with your pc via a datacable and iTunes will prompt a message to update your operating system.

This new update comes with several bug fixes with improved performance and greater stability for iPad 2 and iPhone 4S. There's also an update for Apple TV, available as an Apple TV software 7.0.2 update.

iPhone 4 will no longer have the support of iOS 8.0 or above, now iPhone 4S has become oldest one to have support for iOS 8.0. iOS runs well on older devices, and that's really appreciable that the new OS does support the three year old hardware.
