Xcode offers the tools you need to develop, test, and distribute apps for Apple platforms, including predictive code completion, generative intelligence powered by the best coding models, advanced profiling and debugging tools, and simulators for Apple devices. 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.
Simulator enables rapid prototyping and testing of 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 Icon Composer to design stunning layered icons out of Liquid Glass, Reality Composer Pro to create spatial 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 Account. 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 in all regions or on all Apple devices.

My favorite professional tool so far in my life

After almost 10 years in iOS development, I’m still myself the primary bottleneck of my productivity, not the tools. Never felt like looking into alternatives, this one just works as I expect.(Although I wish they’d drop Interface Builder completely — I *hate* inheriting legacy projects where a developer thought it’s sustainable to develop real-world user interfaces with a powerpoint instead of just doing everything in code — but at least it doesn’t push me too much into using it. Deleting the one initial storyboard from every new project isn’t that difficult. :)
Moronic concept

So... there's this huge package that I need to update every now and then called Xcode that includes an IDE that I never use, just to get some basic libraries to compile software from github etc.I'm not a professional coder, but when I do code, I tend to use sleeker IDEs and besides I code in python, and I anyway need to install that separately if I want to use the latest version.Perhaps some developers need to make their programs run in every imaginable Apple platform, but WHY for goddsake didn't you make this modula in the first place, so one could just install Xcode "essentials" without the unnecessary IDE and the iOS stuff etc, that could easily be added from preferences etc?
I miss my package manager, gnu make and shell

Slow, resource hoggy, unproductive and constantly gets into the way. Can we have standardized way of building, and archiving iOS applications from the command line instead? Preferably something that doesn't break every other month, so we could use a better text editor.
Xcode 26.6 includes Swift 6.3.3 and SDKs for iOS 26.5, iPadOS 26.5, tvOS 26.5, watchOS 26.5, visionOS 26.5, and macOS 26.5.
This update adds support for Google Gemini in the coding assistant, in addition to Anthropic Claude Agent and OpenAI Codex. It also enables use of other compatible agents through the Agent Client Protocol, and provides bug fixes and improved stability.
