Xcode Reviews & Product Details

IOS development is very easy and testing o multiple IOS devices becomes easy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Debugging is a bit complicated here. there should be proper debugging tool as Browser Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I liked the Story board and easy to create view controllers and desigining UI boards. File Managment is easy. Configuration is also easy. Overall experience is smotth Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it takes lot of memory of course with given features it would but machines like macbook air with 120 GB hanging a lot. while desining UI it stucks. takes lot of to build. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Xcode is a powerful IDE that helps to build the application for iOS, MacOS, WatchOS, and tvOS.

Xcode includes Simulators that help us to test the application on various devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Xcode has Limited Platform support. Xcode allows building only Apple's platform. Also Xcode has some performance issue while working on larger project Like Hang or crash Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Xcode is really a good application for ios application development and can help coders alot. By creating applications using xcode you can deploy them on app store which will be available for other iphone users to install and use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not all versions of swift support xcode. It is quite good for coders but also not convenient for all versions of ios and swift.Xcode is a large application, and downloading it can take up a lot of space on your computer, especially if you have limited storage.

I have worked mainly using IntelliJ IDEA, Visual Studio Code and Xcode for the last four years. Previously used to work with Visual Studio Community and WebStorm. Here are a couple of great things I can say about Xcode:

- Interface Builder: I used to work mainly with it in the beginning, and it is pretty much appreciated how easy it is to add elements to your screen and functionality.

- Seamless integration across the Apple ecosystem: This is quite obvious if you're already working with Xcode, but the incredible integration across each device is impressive.

- Official docs integrated: I always appreciate when the IDEs include language documentation. As a person who works with 3 to 4 programming languages, I must say it does help me a lot to have this information handy.

- Ease of use for deployment: Compared with other IDEs, I think the one that has the best integration for deployment to the app stores is definitely Xcode. Sure is not a straightforward thing, but it is true is the best you'll find out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Talking about the same points I just mentioned, I'm impressed that Apple hasn't done better work yet:

- The Interface Builder is very limited

- Official docs might sometimes be outdated or ambiguous, which makes it hard to familiarize immediately with the language.

- Deployment could be better. I have used other technologies like Expo Application Services for React Native apps, and so far, there is something Apple could learn from. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is crucial for the creation of iOS applications. In Xcode, we build a simulator that functions something like a virtual iPhone running the necessary iOS version. On the simulator, we can test the app in a manner that is comparable to how the actual iPhone will use it. Using this, we can produce apps for the iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch.

For the Xcode, which is sort of expensive, we need a MacBook. When Xcode is active, the system can occasionally hang. A few features are difficult to locate. We must frequently update. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI Interface is pretty good and most of the other IDE's get inspired by this IDE. I really liked the feature which is mini scaled version of the code that we write which is scrollable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes in old Mac it takes very long time to load ( intel processors) & build applications and run it in simulators or real device. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Xcode is really nice application especially for coders who are working with swift language and wants to build their own application for iphones. You can create certain applications for iphones with this xcode and deploy them on appstore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing which i really hate about xcode is that it does not support all of the advance versions of swift. The particular version of xcode only supports specific versions of swift and only works for specific ios versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Best code editor for developing ios apps.

2. It is one of the best ios app debugging tools and interface builders for developing ios apps

3. It helps us install simulators (virtual iPhones) to test our ios based mobile apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Its file size is huge and takes up a lot of space on our machine

2. To use this platform, we should buy a MAC as its only compatible with Apple devices

3.Its only useful in developing apple devices Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Resource-intensive: Xcode requires a high-performance Mac, and can be slow and consume a lot of memory, especially when working on large projects.

Steep learning curve: Xcode has many features and tools that can be overwhelming for new or infrequent users.

Unstable: Xcode has been known to be buggy and prone to crashes, especially when using new or experimental features.

Limited customization options: The default Xcode interface can't be easily customized, making it difficult for some developers to work efficiently.

Slow compile times: Xcode can take a long time to compile projects, especially as the size of the project increases.

Limited refactoring tools: While Xcode has some basic refactoring tools, they are not as powerful as those found in other IDEs, making it harder to maintain and scale code.

No support for other platforms: Xcode is exclusive to macOS and iOS development, and does not support other platforms such as Android or Windows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
