- Snippet from Wikipedia: Xcode
Xcode is Apple's integrated development environment (IDE) for macOS, used to develop software for macOS, iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS. It was initially released in late 2003; the latest stable release is version 15, released on September 18, 2023, and is available free of charge via the Mac App Store and the Apple Developer website. Registered developers can also download preview releases and prior versions of the suite through the Apple Developer website. Xcode includes command-line tools that enable UNIX-style development via the Terminal app in macOS. They can also be downloaded and installed without the GUI.
Before Xcode, Apple offered developers Project Builder and Interface Builder to develop Mac OS X applications.
What’s included in Xcode
Learn about the key features available in Xcode, the integrated development environment for building apps for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple TV.

Xcode 14
This version of Xcode:
- Includes SDKs for iOS 16, iPadOS 16, macOS 12.3, tvOS 16, and watchOS 9.
- Supports on-device debugging in iOS 11 or later, tvOS 11 or later, and watchOS 4 or later.
- Requires a Mac running macOS Monterey 12.5 or later.
Xcode
New single target supports multiple platforms and conditionally includes dependencies, code, resources, and build settings for specific platforms.
Downloadable simulator runtimes for latest versions of watchOS and tvOS.
New assistant editor for build logs shows build timeline to help you enhance parallelism and identify build performance issues.
Regex support, including syntax highlighting and playgrounds inline results for quick iteration.
DriverKit driver development support for iPadOS.
Asset Catalog
Provide a single 1024 x 1024 pixel app icon in Asset Catalog, and it’s automatically resized for its target. Debugging
The memory graph debugger now displays all incoming and outgoing references in the memory graph. Documentation
Swift-DocC supports building documentation for Objective-C and C APIs.
Swift-DocC documentation that Xcode 14 produces is now compatible with most managed hosting services, including GitHub Pages.
Instruments
New Swift Concurrency template traces the usage and behavior of Swift’s concurrency primitives.
New Hang Tracing instrument shows when an app’s main thread is unable to handle incoming events.
Localization
Export local Swift packages for localization.
Organizer
New diagnostic reports on application hangs.
Previews
All new design, interactive by default, supports automatically generated variants for appearance, accessibility sizes, and more.
Source Editor
Enhanced code completion, with initializers surfaced at the top level, overloads collapsed into a single row, and an improved default argument experience.
Code structure pins to the top of the source editor as you scroll.
Jump to definition and callers has an all-new UI, helping you disambiguate between overloads and call sites.
Command and build plug-in integration in Xcode.

“Xcode is Apple Computer's integrated development environment (IDE) for developing applications and other software for Mac OS X. It is shipped free with Mac OS X. First introduced on October 24, 2003 along with the release of Mac OS X v10.3, it extended and replaced Apple's earlier IDE, Project Builder, which was inherited from NeXT.” Fair Use Source: http://www.labautopedia.org/mw/List_of_programming_and_computer_science_terms
Xcode includes everything developers need to create great applications for Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and Apple Watch. Xcode provides developers a unified workflow for user interface design, coding, testing, and debugging. The Xcode IDE combined with the Swift programming language make developing apps easy and fun.
Xcode includes the Xcode IDE, Swift and C/C++/Objective-C compilers, Instruments analysis tool, simulators, the latest SDKs, and hundreds of powerful features:
Innovative tools help you create great apps
• Swift is an intuitive programming language that is safe, fast, and modern
• SwiftUI is a revolutionary new framework to create user interfaces with a declarative Swift syntax
• Playgrounds are a fun way to experiment and interact with Swift code
• View debugging shows a 3D stack of all your app's UI view layers at runtime
• Split editors in virtually unlimited ways, show previews, or choose an assistant to see related content
• Live Issues display errors as you type, and Fix-its improve your code with just a click
• Source control navigator and service integrations help you manage code across a team
SwiftUI and Interface Builder make it easy to design your interface
• SwiftUI uses declarative Swift code that clearly describes your interface
• Design canvas graphically builds UI views using the library of controls and modifyers
• Preview SwiftUI code or UIKit interfaces in different screen sizes, orientations, and font sizes
• SwiftUI code is always in perfect sync with the graphical design canvas and previews
• Animations are built using simple commands that describe the action you want to see
Professional editor and debugger keep your code front and center
• Refactoring makes it easy to modify the structure of Swift, Objective-C, C, and C++ code
• Open Quickly instantly opens any file within your project
• Data tips and Quick Look can inspect a variable by hovering your mouse over code while debugging
• Third-party app extensions can add new capabilities to the source editor
Test driven development is built right in
• Use the Test Navigator to add, edit, or run unit tests or user interface tests with just a click
• Test Assistant makes it easy to edit your code and related tests, side-by-side
• Create continuous integration bots to build and test on a server Mac running Xcode
Instruments for performance analysis
• Compare CPU, disk, memory, and GPU performance as graphical tracks over time
• Identify performance bottlenecks, then dive deep into the code to uncover the cause
• Analyze your app directly, or sample the entire system with very little overhead
• Create custom instruments with unique visualizations to analyze your own code and frameworks
To test or run applications on an iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, or Apple Watch all you need is a free Apple ID. To submit your apps to the App Store you must be a member of the Apple Developer Program. Some features may require Internet access.
