Xcode

Description

Xcode includes everything developers need to create great applications for Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and Apple Watch. Xcode provides developers a unified workflow for user interface design, coding, testing, and debugging. The Xcode IDE combined with the Swift programming language make developing apps easy and fun. Xcode includes the Xcode IDE, Swift and C/C++/Objective-C compilers, Instruments analysis tool, simulators, the latest SDKs, and hundreds of powerful features: Innovative tools help you create great apps • Swift is an intuitive programming language that is safe, fast, and modern • SwiftUI is a revolutionary framework to create user interfaces with a declarative Swift syntax • Playgrounds are a fun way to experiment and interact with Swift code • View debugging shows a 3D stack of all your app's UI view layers at runtime • Split editors in virtually unlimited ways, show previews, or choose an assistant to see related content • Live issues display errors as you type, and Fix-its improve your code with just a click • Source control navigator and service integrations help you manage code across a team SwiftUI and Interface Builder make it easy to design your interface • SwiftUI uses declarative Swift code that clearly describes your interface • Design canvas graphically builds UI views using the library of controls and modifyers • Preview SwiftUI code or UIKit interfaces in different screen sizes, orientations, and font sizes • SwiftUI code is always in perfect sync with the graphical design canvas and previews • Animations are built using simple commands that describe the action you want to see Professional editor and debugger keep your code front and center • Refactoring makes it easy to modify the structure of Swift, Objective-C, C, and C++ code • Open Quickly instantly opens any file within your project • Data tips and Quick Look can inspect a variable by hovering your mouse over code while debugging Instruments for performance analysis • Compare CPU, disk, memory, and GPU performance as graphical tracks over time • Identify performance bottlenecks, then dive deep into the code to uncover the cause • Analyze your app directly, or sample the entire system with very little overhead • Create custom instruments with unique visualizations to analyze your own code and frameworks To test or run applications on an iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, or Apple Watch 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.

用着还行，但是升级为什么跟白痴一样

升级不如重装快，为什么？

Xcode 14 makes incremental build much slower

On my M1 Mac mini, with same project and same configs, adding an empty file on the same file then recompile, Xcode 13.4.1 takes 10 seconds, while on Xcode 14.0 RC, it takes… shockingly… 21 seconds!! As a reference, my quad-core Intel iMac 5K (late 2015) can complete the exactly same task in 21 seconds with Xcode 12. Previous review: The worst update in 7 years Xcode 13 is the most buggy relaese since Xcode 6. Text typed in source editor takes 0.2~0.5 second to show up. Syntax highlight is broken all the time. The entire app is randomly freezed all the time. No way to turn off the unwelcomed Auto Import feature. Still no sign of improvements with the lastest Xcode 13.2 RC… The list goes on and on.

Terrible Updates

Have tried many different methods to cancel the download through the App Store to no avail. Had to download VS Code in the meantime in order to get my work done. No matter what I do I still can't stop this update from hanging and pulling power. Just terrible.

Something breaks every update

It's just kind of frustrating to use and costs a lot of development time to fix issues with poor product support.

Riddled with bugs

I'm so tired of chasing down bug fixes in Xcode.

Joy to Use

Using SwiftUI on Xcode is a great developer experience. I enjoy it. Not sure why average rating is so low on such a comphrehensive app.

i wanted to install emacs

I wanted to install emacs. but I need command line tools at some 600mb and then also xcode at 12Gb. what a joke.

Few Issues

Ever since the most recent update, the app keeps crashing. Please fix

App is not perfect, but great

As a person who actually develops with xcode, it is a good peice of software. It builds quickly, its easy to write code with (assuming your using SwiftUI), its intellisence is superior, and its ux is amazing! The reason I am rating this 4 stars is because this app is a storage hog, and the caches it develops are awful. It's also not the most lightweight app in the world if you have a slower mac. Overall though, great IDE!
