Test on iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch
Students can test and debug their applications using Xcode’s graphical debugger, or collect real-time performance data in Instruments’ timeline view. To see their work in action and ensure proper functionality, students can install their applications directly on iPad, iPhone and iPod touch.
Sharing Applications
The iPhone Developer University Program allows students and professors within the same team to share their development applications with each other through email, or by posting them to a private website for presentation and grading purposes.
