Is this a recent change? Sounds like a boon to indie devs.

It started last year with Xcode 7.

I just started using this. Maybe someone else can confirm whether this is true for paid accounts as well... with unpaid accounts, you're limited to 10 program builds per week. As in, 10 separate programs built and loaded onto a device.

I don't know the fine details, just ran into that wall last week as I was loading a bunch of different tests and examples to an iPad.
