Xcode Reviews & Product Details

The best about Xcode is that the interface is extremely user-friendly. Using this product makes it easy to build and run source code files in multiple languages. Xcode is popular for macOS, iOS, watchOS and tvOS software development. However, it can do much more than that. For instance in my case I use it to teach my students development in C++, and my students love it ! Most of them have no prior coding experience and are happy to be able to write their code and run it easily on a friendly environment. I really recommend Xcode not only for Mac related development, but also for developing in other languages such as C and C++. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When starting to use the product, it is not easy to get hang of all the available options. It takes some time. Maybe it would be good to include some short tips every time the product is opened.

This product can be used with Mac only. It can be hard to use it with PC (connect to remote machines etc.) additionally there are other easier options available for PC (visual studio, code::blocks. many text editors and terminal etc.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Debugging is easy. Source code for most languages available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Does not integrate with platforms other than macOS Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the debugging capabilities Xcode brings with it, from adjustable breakpoints to complete memory graph analysis Xcode got you covered and I just merely scratched the surface with that. But that brings me to the negativ aspects... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

...because Xcode has so many features it is nearly impossible to know them all. When you go to a conference you always learn something new about it. A massive amount of features is not bad in itself, but when you really have no chance to find them due to the lack of discoverability, it quickly becomes that. Also because of this massiveness, some niche features may break after updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The layout of Xcode is phenomenal. It's interfaces are, for the most part, very intuitive and easy to use. The debugging works well and can be used to solve issues very rapidly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Apple has, in classic Apple style, told you exactly how this IDE is going to be laid out. You want the Navigator to be on the right instead of the left? Too bad. You want the Utilities at the bottom instead of the right? No, your wrong; it belongs on the right. I do miss the flexibility of Visual Studio, where I could but any tab anywhere I wanted. Not every developer has the same sized monitor and the same method of working, so it's a little frustrating that I can't customize my workspace very well.

Some areas of the designer are a little slow. The real-time error identification lags far behind the lightning-fast speeds of Visual Studio, and the storyboard designer can frustratingly slow if you need to move back and forth between several storyboards quickly.

Fast and optimized, nice code hinting and navigation, XIB’s are great to use, Swift is amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Throws red herons all the time, cleaning and deleting derived data is a necessary chore as part of the development process. Sometimes indexing can be really slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’ve tried using Dreamweaver in the past, but Xcode is my new love. It’s so smart and intuitive, for any beginners this is the software you should use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

UI Labels uploads so be easier to find. Especially for people just starting out with coding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
