"Xcode is very magical and useful for developing on IOS and derivatives environments. Yes magical"
What do you like best about Xcode?

It is very perfect that I can instantly preview the application I developed on physical devices, this way I get rid of the burden of installing a simulator on my computer. This saves a lot of both disk space and memory power for programming. Also, the code completion feature is almost as good as Github Copilot, I say almost because sometimes it can wait for 3 seconds before offering suggestions, I don't know, maybe it's because of my computer, but this is perfect, it really gives me exactly what I want and can read the comment lines I made about the data models and provide me with functional data models. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xcode?

XCode takes up a lot of disk space. Disk space is very valuable for an entry-level MacBook Air (I know there are pro models for this, but I had enough money to buy an Air) user like me. XCode uses more space than my disk with swap space due to the frequent updates and the high memory usage caused by its superior capabilities. This can be a bit challenging.

"Flutter developer using Xcode"
What do you like best about Xcode?

Mainly, it provides a very user-friendly GUI layout. For example, it displays your staff visually in a way that is quite different from how the files are actually saved, which is helpful for beginners who are just starting to use Xcode to develop iOS applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xcode?

On the other hand, it can be a nightmare if you encounter an issue. When searching for solutions, you can't simply share the GUI; instead, you have to read through the code. As a result, you might be shocked and find yourself having to read unfamiliar code in XCode that you haven't seen before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
