Well in few words best App Development IDE for Apple ecosystem. It has the best built in simulator and it really gives the idea on how your application will work in real time whether you are building app for iOS, ipadOs or watchOS, i have personally made project for ipadOS and watchOS both were perfect in terms simulation and real time usage. On of the best UI, for and IDE, and one thing loved is the debugging and code completion, literally save you a load of time. Plugins are great too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Now coming to the bad part which I personally faced, was the simulator was bit too slow, Once you are working on Xcode you might have to close all other applications for it to even load the simulator properly, I had a high end MacOs only but still had this issue,it often crashed as well.

I find the Xcode Organizer very useful because it allows me to see all crashes reported by TestFlight users and identify the specific file or line that caused the crash. This helps me debug and resolve issues effectively. I also appreciate the support for Apple's AI assistant in the newer versions of Xcode, which provides code suggestions. Although it's not as good as other agents like Cursor, Windsurf, Antigravity, or Kiro, it's still better than going outside Xcode to search for code snippets. I also found the initial setup of Xcode very easy, just follow the instructions and you're good to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel the build system and settings are very complex. These can be improved and simplified for new users and should have advanced options for all the advanced users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Xcode for its overall ease of use, smooth implementation process, great integration with Apple’s ecosystem, and its wide range of built-in features. I use it frequently because it streamlines development, and Apple’s documentation and support resources make it easier to get help when needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Xcode can be slow on large projects, sometimes feels buggy, and the storyboard merging conflicts in version control are a frequent headache. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the seamless integration with iOS development. I use it to build UI and it is a big time saver. I also prefer their debugging tools and simulators to review my app in real time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have not had much bad experience with xcode, but it can be a resource hog and the error messages are sometimes not very informative Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Xcode's debugging and simulator features. It's really helpful to test when I cannot test features on the simulator, as I can build the preview of the app and test it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel that Xcode could improve in its code autocomplete and AI integration, similar to what Visual Studio Code offers. Also, the initial setup was a little difficult for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like that it includes an integrated simulator, as it allows you to test the app directly. Additionally, the previewer is very useful when making design changes, because you can instantly see how they will look. All of this makes the experience easy, intuitive, and saves a lot of time.

In my experience, it consumes quite a bit of battery, I would even say too much. Also, I'm not convinced by the customization or the management of git within the same application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like using Xcode for iOS and iPad device emulation. It allows me to test apps I've made with React Native in the iOS and iPadOS environment without having the actual devices. I can't afford all the Apple devices needed for testing, so it's great that Xcode creates a test device using the emulator. It really helps me see if the app is running smoothly on those devices. Also, the initial setup of Xcode was easy; I just had to go to the App Store and install it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It takes so much space while installing the emulating device. I think that can be reduced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Powerful and well-integrated development environment, but can feel heavy and occasionally unstable on larger projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Frequent bugs, slow indexing, and heavy resource usage make Xcode frustrating for larger or complex projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like using Xcode for developing Swift code apps. The iPhone previews and runs are really helpful for me. They allow me to test the UI, UX, and user flow before pushing to production. It also helps ensure that my code works properly and that the app builds correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
