-Cloud synchronization (Vendor TBD)

-Debugging with Xcode

Please bring a laptop with the latest version of Xcode installed (free on the Mac App Store). We have several MacBooks available for loan for the workshop. It’s optional to bring an iOS device for running your project (it will run in a simulator if you don’t have an iOS device.)
