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.
What’s New
Version 16.0
Xcode 16 includes Swift 6 and SDKs for iOS 18, iPadOS 18, tvOS 18, watchOS 11, visionOS 2, and macOS Sequoia.
• Predictive code completion boosts your productivity when writing Swift code, using a code intelligence model that keeps your code private and works even when you’re offline
• Swift 6 makes it even easier to write safe concurrent code with a new language mode that analyzes your code at compile-time and diagnoses possible data races
• Swift Testing simplifies writing tests with features like parameterization to run the same test over a series of values, and tags to flexibly organize your tests
• Previews can share environments or data across your app and use property wrappers within preview blocks
• Explicit Modules provides better build parallelism, better diagnostics, and faster debugging
• Unified backtrace view shows relevant code from all stack frames in a single view
• Thread Performance Checker surfaces runtime issues and performance problems, including diagnostics to identify excessive disk writes
• RealityKit Debugger captures snapshots of a running visionOS app entity hierarchy to explore it in 3D
Ratings and Reviews
Can you not get stuck installing every single time
This is my 4th MacBook, newer model than the others and installing this piece of junk from the app store has failed every. single. time. Stuck installing at about 80%. Restart never helps. Feels great having to browse through libraries and other hidden folders just to be able to install this thing again.
Once you get it running, it's decent at least. Got a lot of useful features, simple and good UI. Although it's rather slow and an immense resource hog, kind of like Chrome, but with ridiculously slow start-up and search(<=> build) times and very poor caching.
Important bug - Alt Click crashes
Hi. Whenever i'm holding Alt key and then left click on another swift file to open it in a slipt view it crashes. There aren't any steps to reproduce, since it happens on any class. Macbook pro 13 mid 2012 (manufactered in late 2015) with lastest updates.
Thank you
Worst IDE I have ever used
In general, as a software it is ok, close to what others do but the fact that Apple is incapable to fix the update issue is a mystery to me… Every time there is a new version it gets stuck in downloading or installing and I go through enormous pain to fix it and most of the time I end up reinstalling it. Some of the times it even gets stuck like that and can’t do anything to stop it. I uninstall the app and still stuck in downloading. I even upgraded the MacBook recently and the same issue with every update, so it cannot be my environment. And this issue is well known as it is present on the forums. I am honestly, officially tired of this and will not be using it anymore.
