best online service to backup Xcode? - xcode

I've been making some tweaks as well as adding finishing touches to an app I've been working on. I just noticed my computer started to load very slowly when compiling the app. after several screen crashes and freezes I decided to reboot in a various number of ways. http://www.macworld.com/article/2018853/when-good-macs-go-bad-steps-to-take-when-your-mac-wont-start-up.html
Thankfully I still have all my files and multiple Xcode snapshots for me to use. I don't have a flash drive on me and was wondering what would be the best online service to store my app for the time being?
I know this might be a tad unrelated but I feel this is an important topic and if anyone has any suggestions about which service to use for this task, I'd love to hear it ...ie Google drive , Dropbox, etc...I'm a noob with these services

You can use bitbucket.com, it's free for small projects.

Github is the best repository, it allows you to backup your project, you can clone it anywhere at any system.And you can update your project as well. Along with this, You can make it private.

There is another option if you don't want this to be some console
there is an iCloud drive available in Favourites, that is located in left side of any Finder Folder.

Is it possible to update MSIX packages via appinstaller pushed by Intune

Context:
We want to force the installation of new versions of our MSIX bundled apps. Because of risk of data loss, we don't want to force close them but give users the option to save their work and install the update. Sometimes critical updates happen and we want to update the app ASAP (not wait until next morning).
The solution we have thought of is, using Intune to distribute .appinstaller files, which then will be in charge of installing and updating the app, using the built-in updating system.
Uploading a .appinstaller file via the portal is not supported (AFAIK)
Questions:
Is it possible to distribute .appinstaller files via Intune
Can you schedule app updates in Intune
Is it possible to gracefully close the app in stead of forcing it
Are we looking at it all wrong and are there better ways for facilitating our use case
Thank you for any help in advance!
This is a partial answer that focuses on questions 2 and 3. I am mostly using Azure as opposed to Intune, so I have no idea how to distribute it via Intune. Anyways, you can add a Package.appinstaller file to your MSIX project and specify both what schedule you want to have to update and to allow the user to save their data before the application shuts down and updates. The cool thing here is that this all seems to be handled through configurations as opposed to any code changes. For more information, see the two comprehensive resources that I found useful for one of my questions.
The link below really explains the answer for questions 2 and 3.

The link below explains some of the context too the answer above as it relates specifically to the version of Windows that is being targeted. This is relevant because if you target a lower version of Windows, then these features and configurations will not work.

How can i save media files (images, audios, etc...) to NativeScript application?

so yeah guys, i just started learning NativeScript and i'm making test projects, i tried to make app, that plays little audio file when you touch button, but i don't know how to save files in the program, (i know, i'm 0 to explaining stuff with English) so i can use them later...
i haven't tried any plugin yet, so if there's any about my problem, i will be glad to hear about it
yeah, there's way to store them in servers or cloud, but i'm trying to make offline application...

React Native Expo Best Practices for Sharing Code Base & App Experience Virtually

I am building an app with React Native using Expo and I am trying to collaborate with a third party virtually via Zoom. Ideally I would like that individual to see not just my code base (I can share my screen easily for that purpose) but what the app looks like/functions once i log in. To my understanding, I can use either the Expo app and/or Xcode. The expo app doesn't work here because you need to share the same wifi (at least I believe that's how it works) and Xcode isn't working for me because it takes up so much space locally (I have over 20 gb of free space and it still wont allow me to download). So is there a third option that would solve this problem? Am I overlooking something here? Any help would be immensely appreciated.
There's a guide on how to do what you want to do.
Alternatively, you should be able to share your Expo project with someone by sending them a link, then conference with them using Zoom, if you wish.
Another option would be to use a different IDE, for example VS Code, which has a live share plugin

Team Development of HTML5 PhoneGap App

First, I don't know if this is the right place to make this question but, I don't see any other place where to put it.
I would like to know how could I develop a mobile HTML5 App (using PhoneGap) with another friend, without need to have a copy of the project in more than one PC.
Could I somehow host the Code on a FTP Server and then we both could work on it for example, on Eclipse?
You need to look into using a source control system of some kind. Source control comes in many flavors, but in general it allows software developers to sync code between many servers, and allows developers to work concurrently without breaking each other's environments (imagine I have to take a component offline for many hours to code on it, but other people rely on it to do their work).
The two most common source control solutions are SVN and Git. Both of these work on Mac/Linux/PC and are documented thoroughly online.
without need to have a copy of the project in more than one PC.
How should that be possible? When want to view view something on your local computer, you must have it available on your local computer. But I think I know what you are looking for, three suggestions:
Use a cloud-based IDE. Cloud9 for example is one of the best. However, all of them tend to be slow and buggy.
Just synch the files between your computers. One of the best hosted services is Dropbox, or you can install ownCloud on your own Server.
Use a version control system. This is pretty common for software development as you can easily reproduce who made which change when and why. The best option is git and Github for hosting.
I know this is months late, but check out Adobe's Phonegap Build. Build and deploy in the cloud. They also allow you to assign a development team.

iDisk-like features on Lion Server

The imminent death of iDisk is a bummer. I have used it for years to easily share files with clients without asking them to boot up their FTP software.
I am curious to know if there is a way to mimic iDisk's file sharing features through Lion Server. Specifically, the ability to share links to specific files and have them downloaded through a web browser. I miss the clean interface of iDisk through MobileMe.
I realize that there are third party providers like Dropbox and YouSendIt, but it would be nice to serve the files directly from our local server. I originally thought WebDav might be the answer, but it seems that's not the case.
You will have to install additional software to get that functionality. I've used and had good luck with Boxroom (http://boxroom.rubyforge.org/) but it requires Rails which may be too much work to install if you don't need it for anything else.
Searching for "open source php file manager" turns up a range of options which should work well on Lion as it has PHP already installed. I have also seen Java alternatives, some of which run on top of WebDAV, so it is probably best to start with the development language you are most comfortable with deploying and work from there.
Sorry I couldn't be more specific, my Mini is in transit so I haven't had direct experience with Lion server yet:)
Have a look at Storage Made Easy Mac client. It works a similar way to the original iDisk but also had sync capability. See: https://storagemadeeasy.com/MacCloudTools/ and https://storagemadeeasy.com/wiki/maccloudtools/. There is a native disk piece and also a sync like dropbox piece to the App.
