Apple acquires Vancouver development studio Buddybuild
Vancouver-based development studio Buddybuild shared on their blog that they have been acquired by Apple. Buddybuild offers a service for users to build, test and ship iOS apps to testers, similar to TestFlight, which Apple also acquired in 2014 through its purchase of Burstly.
Buddybuild will eventually integrate into Xcode, Apple’s suite of development tools for iOS, macOS, watchOS and tvOS.
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.
