Honestly this makes creating apps so easy!
A total disgrace

Xcode is utterly a disgrace for Apple. The only differences between releases are Swift compiler updates (provided by swift.org) and new simulator binaries. Everything else is abandoned with annoying bugs not fixed for years.
nice application

very good
Terrible IDE

By AntoHTML
The amount of bugs and non-compatibility across versions is not worth using a separate IDE for swift development. This application, not the language Swift itself, is the reason I stopped learning swift. It is much more worth your time to just use VSCode and learn something else.
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 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
1
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.
