The last days of summer have just been over for us ☀️, but this was a busy month anyhow. See all the important things we did in August!
Updates 🛠

News 🏖
- We support Xcode 9's new exportOptions! property! We have released the new Xcode Archive step version (2.2.0), which is able to auto detect the new exportOptions property, so the workaround we provided two weeks ago is no longer needed. 👻 However, you still have to set some things up! Check them out!
