If this feature is real, Apple will take the iPad to a new level

It is likely that the iPad will support Xcode, Apple's software development environment, allowing users to program it right on this device.

MacOS and iOS developers will soon be able to code on iPad even iPhone if the following unconfirmed rumors come true. According to this report, iPadOS 14 and iOS equivalent will support Xcode, Apple's software development environment.

This report comes from Jon Prosser, founder of YouTube Front Page Tech, who recently accurately predicted the launch date of the iPhone SE 2020. On Monday, Prosser said via Twitter: " Xcode is here. on iOS / iPadOS 14. This will mean a lot. Open the door with the "Pro" app for iPad . "

Put Xcode on iPad

Developers use the Xcode environment to create applications for iOS, iPadOS and MacOS. Apple once promised it would be "everything you need to create great apps and bring those apps to more devices."

Xcode supports many different languages, including Apple's Swift, C ++, Python and more. But it only runs on MacOS. At least until now.

Significant upgrade to the role of iPad

Whenever someone compared the power of an iPad to a MacBook, they would always encounter a permanent question: "Can it use Xcode?" This rhetorical question implies that the iPad is only a toy when it can't support work like real computers. But if Prosser's prediction is correct, developers can now use the iPad to write software.

This is a feature that Apple has gradually upgraded for its tablets over the years, especially the iPad Pro line. Now it has the popular USB-C port, supports external file access, mouse support, etc. And the iPad Pro processors have the same power as Apple's laptops.

If the iPad already supports Xcode, who will call it a toy?
