Description

Xcode offers all the tools you need to craft great apps for iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Apple Watch, Apple Vision Pro, and Mac. It enables a unified workflow that spans from the earliest stages of app development to testing, debugging, optimization, and app distribution to testers and users. And with the Swift programming language, Xcode makes developing apps easy and fun. Xcode includes a world-class code editor with an on-device machine learning model trained for Swift and Apple SDKs, a built-in preview tool that shows the UI of your app as you modify code, and a powerful debugger with conditional breakpoints. Xcode also includes companion tools to help you rapidly prototype and test your app. Simulator enables rapid prototyping and testing your app in a simulated environment when a real device isn’t available. Instruments helps you profile and analyze your app, improve performance, and investigate system resource usage. And you can use Reality Composer Pro to create 3D content, train custom machine learning models with Create ML, and identify potential accessibility issues with Accessibility Inspector. To test or run applications on an Apple device, all you need is a free Apple ID. To submit your apps to the App Store you must be a member of the Apple Developer Program. Some features may require Internet access and may not be available for all regions or on all Apple devices.

  • It does the job

    No IDe is perfect, but in over 30 years of programming I find that Xcode does a well balanced job of exposing new features, and keeping me productive.
  • What a absolute garbage to work with more often coding break pinning to Xcode don’t get permissions

    What a garbage and has no meaning to continue to exist.. it’s the new IE explorer of software development.
  • Can you add a Swift Linter?

    By ninefortyone941
    Would be great if we had a built-in "Linter" for Swift code that makes sure all Swift code is formatted in the same way across our projects. Also don’t block us for device operations like “copying symbols”. It’s insanely annoying that the entire editor is blocked when these operations are running.
  • Redoing work due to crashes

    Pretty sad this is where we are - a simple framework project can crash and take completed work with it.
  • Xcode is unusable for React Native development on macOS Sequoia

    By AV🥑
    I'm on a brand new Mac running macOS Sequoia, and Apple forces me to use Xcode 15.4, which is incompatible with every stable version of React Native under Expo SDK 50. Downgrading Xcode isn’t allowed, and older Xcode versions won't even open. The latest Xcode breaks native builds due to C++ standard library issues (std::char_traits in RCT-Folly). No workarounds work without major hacks, patching, or virtual machines.
  • If my review ever gets noticed.

    I have two minor issues that we run into daily and I am sure Xcode team can fix it. 1. The SwiftUI canvas always gets reset to split half half even if we switch tabs. Please allow users to pick split ratios. The canvas taking 1/4 of screen is ideal. 2. "The compiler is unable to type-check this expression”. This is driving new developers like me crazy. This error does not pin point the line of code that has the error. Please fix. Please fix. Please fix.
  • Apple does not care about developers

    By georgeeeeeeebry
    It is amazing that with every rollout you break customers. It is amazing that you enforce supporting new iOS versions, but for new versions, you need the latest Xcode, but for the latest Xcode, you need the latest OS, and after 3-4 years, for the latest OS, you need a new Mac. Shameful
  • Developers’ nightmare IDE ever

    1
    By Bism@rk
    If you have used an IDE like visual studio or android studio you’d hate how slow Xcode is. Apple keeps adding unnecessary features to it but the basic functionality is still broken despite being in the market for 16+ years. The types don’t load properly, I cant cmd+click a type and read the documentation. Working with playgrounds is even worse. You write 1000+ lines of utility functions and it takes ages to run. It’s a test of patience to use playground. Sincere request to Apple - Please spend some money on making Xcode team to make this IDE better. If you’re doing that already, please bring in some accountability to that team. As a tenured iOS dev, I feel the IDE hasn’t gotten better at all.
  • The worst compiler in the history of code !

    By Use another calculator!
    The compiler is unable to type-check this expression in reasonable time! this error is the most annoying error you can get in Xcode specially if you know what u are doing!
