Azure Pipelines: Now Supports Additional Hosted Apple/Mac Operating System Versions
Azure Pipelines, our facilitated CI/CD arrangement, has been putting forth designers the capacity to manufacture and test applications utilizing Microsoft-facilitated macOS and Xcode specialists, including applications for iOS and watchOS.
Not long ago, we were eager to impart to you that the Hosted macOS operators would have been moved up to OS X 10.14 (Mojave).

This not just helps groups who need more seasoned adaptations of Xcode for their assembles, yet it likewise enables you to work with the most recent bits on Mojave and after that run computerized tests with High Sierra also.
Following stages for Hosted macOS Agents
We are anticipating declarations to originated from Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in June. We will keep on offering help for the most recent macOS and Xcode renditions to empower you to create incredible encounters focused to Apple's biological system, including macOS, iOS, and watchOS. Notwithstanding keeping our macOS develop operators to-date, we will keep on investigating and update different instruments that are added to the specialists. Open up an issue in our GitHub repository for any apparatuses you might want to see included or any issues you keep running into.
