"Essential for iOS Development, Easy Setup"
What do you like best about Xcode?

I like that with Xcode, I can run iOS apps locally without major dependencies. I use the simulator most frequently to run and test apps, and I also create and upload builds to TestFlight. The initial setup was easy since it involved downloading the dmg file, installing it, and then simply opening the project to run the app with the simulator. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xcode?

Sometimes it takes a lot of space which can be reduced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Must-Have Tool for Any iOS or Mac Developer"
What do you like best about Xcode?

The best thing is how tightly integrated everything is. The way the code, the UI builder, and the device simulators all work together in one place makes the entire app development process feel really seamless and connected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xcode?

It's incredibly resource-hungry. The application itself is huge, updates take forever to download, and it frequently makes my laptop's feel slow, even during relatively simple tasks, which can slow everything else down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Xcode: Tool for iOS development"
What do you like best about Xcode?

As a user, the best thing about Xcode is it works with Apple's ecosystem. If the user wants to build an iPhone application, xcode has all the required tools. If a user wants to test it on a simulator or push that to real device, it works so easily. Debugging is easy. When something breaks, user is being able to pause execution, inspect variables, view the UI hierarchy live. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xcode?

Xcode is slow, especially on large projects or older Macs. The IDE crashes unexpectedly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Performance and User-Friendly for All Tasks"
What do you like best about Xcode?

It’s a great IDE, but when it needs to be used for simple tasks - like editing a json file, it doesn’t overwhelm the machine performance or the user with interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xcode?

I think the setup sometimes with xcode can be a bit hectic, but once you do the process you’re able to run the show smootly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very useful for React native and iOS development"
What do you like best about Xcode?

"Xcode offers great native debugging tools, an excellent simulator, and smooth integration with Apple’s ecosystem — all essential for testing and troubleshooting iOS builds in React Native projects." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xcode?

Xcode can be unstable after updates and managing code signing/provisioning can be unnecessarily complex, especially in a React Native environment where native configs are just one part of the setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
