Apple Seeds Xcode 7 Beta 6 to Developers

Apple today seeded Xcode 7 beta 6 to registered developers, more than two weeks after releasing Xcode 7 beta 5 alongside the fifth beta of iOS 9.

Xcode 7 beta 6 can be downloaded from the software update mechanism in the Mac App Store or through the Apple Developer Center.

xcode7beta6
Xcode 7 is designed to accompany Apple's next-generation operating systems: iOS 9, OS X 10.11 El Capitan, and watchOS 2, all of which will be released to the public in the coming weeks. Xcode 7 supports Swift 2.0 and includes new features like user interface testing and updated playgrounds.

Is anyone seeing this in the software update mechanism in the Mac App Store?
I haven't seen Xcode BETAs in there before (I've seen OS X Betas).

As far as I know, Xcode has never been in the MAS as a beta version. You'll need to get those from the Developer website.

When my 27" iMac comes in, I think i'm going to give xcode a whirl. Time to start learning how to program.

No time like the present. Just dive into Python now.

Python comes preinstalled with OS X and Linux. It's really easy to install on Windows, too.

With Xcode 7b6 shipping with iOS9b5 SDK, it looks as though there won't be a iOS9/watchOS2 beta 6 this week :-(

While the new iPad mini has an OLED display, the device does not support ProMotion, meaning the display's refresh rate is limited to 60Hz instead of 120Hz. ProMotion support would have allowed for the iPad mini's refresh rate to automatically adjust from 10Hz to 120Hz depending on the content being displayed, but evidently Apple has kept the feature exclusive to the iPad Pro among iPad...
