🍎 Export your game on iOS in one-click

A new challenger has appeared!

GDevelop 5.3.191 introduces support for iOS Cloud Builds and automated publishing to App Store Connect.

• This allows to build a game for iOS directly from GDevelop, without any additional development tool or access to a Mac.
• Builds can be done for development (testing on iPhone/iPad) or for the App Store directly.
• An Apple Developer account is required, so that you can generate the required certificate files (and authentication keys for uploading to App Store Connect). Read the documentation to learn more how to set this up.

Using these new "iOS cloud builds" requires a Gold or a Pro subscription. iOS packaging requires running expensive macOS machines in the cloud to build the games and upload them using Apple specific development tools. This means iOS cloud builds can only be offered with a limited number of builds each months for Gold and Pro subscribers. More iOS builds will be available for purchase with credits in a future release.

💝 Improvements

• The project manager has been renovated to have the same UI as the objects list. It supports keyboard navigation, is faster and allow to open multiple scenes quickly.
• Editor performance improvements:
  • Improve display performance on Project and Team members lists
  • Paginate list of games to improve display performance
• Improve visibility on small tablets and mobiles in landscape
  • Prevent the screen to be detected as mobile and some layout to shift unnecessarily
• Improve the UI and UX of the publishing/build flow.
