Xcode Reviews & Product Details

I can confidently say that I am an iOS developer because I develop lots of projects for my company using Xcode. Through that experience, I can say that I like the all features of Xcode but the most likely feature from my perspective is Simulator. If I don't have a simulator feature then I have to run my apps on different devices to test the application but using the simulator I am able to test the app on different devices such as iPhone, Ipad, or other devices. So, I like the simulator feature most. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Once when I working on a small project, the system crashed. My heart-bits were going to up because of that thing. I tried to reopen the Xcode again but I was not able to open like when I clicked on the Xcode icon it gave me an error. So, I searched for that error on the internet and I found that I had to install updates of Xcode. After updating the software, I was able to start my work from the last parts. So, I would not like the update features because it was very stress increasing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Xcode is made very simple for new users with a new integrated multiplatform app experience. One of the best things about this app is how everything is ran smoother and faster with a binary that's 30% smaller than before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When using Xcode, putting everything in Xcode is a bad idea because it would increase the size of the software and another downside to the app is that installing the app takes about 4 hours to download which isn't the best when you are crunch on time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Xcode helps in the effortless completion of a code, and also its simulator helps to test the app very easily while we build the app in an environment. And also has a wide and connecting community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Xcode is limited to developing only the apple applications and cannot be used on any platform other than the apple system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Xcode is the best tool that helps in creating large and business applications for iPhone, iPad and Mac. It has a great and professional auto-completion feature, has great developers' community and is properly documented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Xcode is a very bulky and heavy application and it takes quite a lot of time to boot. Resources allocation is also not best as a substantial amount of lag can be seen when we are multi-tasking. While exporting packages, it throws errors and exceptions after consuming sometime instead of throwing it early. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Xcode is the ease of first starting with minimal difficulty which is great for beginner programmers. Furthermore, I like the simple layout and easy file management since I work with a lot of files and its very easy to navigate between them Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike how glitchy is when running code especially when emulating and building because I have a well-functioning MacBook Air and it still takes a long time and glitches my laptop when attempting to start. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the way they upload from xcode because in android we have to upload from web but in xcode they allow to from xcode or we can also export that particlur build Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some things which I really like about XCode are :

1. It supports the programming languages: Objective-C and Swift. It is the IDE which means you have all the tools you need in one place. I like the interface and the documentation. It is clean and easy to navigate. The code auto-completion is excellent and helps to save time.

2. Create and manage your apps with ease. Whether you are a novice or advanced developer, Xcode is the IDE of choice. With Xcode, I was able to manage all of my code across multiple platforms and different devices in one place. I can also code and test my apps on the go using the Xcode app on my iPad.

3. It's a comprehensive and easy to use app development solution that can be used by all levels of users. The software comes with a library of components and tools for building apps and games. I would highly recommend XCode for any level of app or game development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Few things which I don't like about Xcode are :

1. If you want deploy your iOS/MacOS executable you can't skip Xcode. It is somehow mandatory to use for apple developers.

2. It requires a heavy memory space to run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The IDE has everything to start for developing software for Apple ecosystem, wether it be iPhones, ipads, Mac and even apple watches. It has reach features for developing, debugging and profiling. Xcode support variety or programming languages C, C++, swift, objective-C,Java, AppleScripts, Ruby. Distribution of software to apple connect is also easy, once it is setup.

The initial set up for project are little complex for new developer. From creating development and distribution certificates to profiles for developments. Now days Xcode can do these task automatically but still sometimes developer has to do manually.

Xcode is available on mac os only. If the IDE was available on different platform like Linux and windows. It would have been much easier to collaborate with different group of people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have updated the app name, logo and images, So easy to work. I can manage my signing and capabilities here. I can add capabilities by searching it like maps. Easy to install from the app store. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very slow in archiving the app. It does not show any percentage when uploading it to the play store. The download size is more. Only available in macOS. When updating it needs 40+ GB of free space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Xcode has syntax error highlights and can show certain errors even before executing the code. It not only saves time but allows me to tidy my code so it executes properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike how inconvenient it is to do multiple projects at once. The IDE doesn't make it very easy to have multiple instances of the program open for different projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
