Xcode App Reviews

I have been getting update notifications on this for weeks and every time I try to run it I am told I don’t have enough disc space, even though there is over 20GB free. I retried today and after half an hour of my Macbook being unresponsive I managed to force quit App Store. It is easier to do OS updates than to get this to work. I can’t even review the application, it could be the best thing ever, but if you can’t install it….

1. Crashes all the time when I try to build 2. the swift linter crashes all the time 3. the new “fix code signing by default” setting is annoying

always hangs at startup for some applications, please fix this

Any software dev who has used any other IDE, ever, will tell you that xCode is amongst the most widely despised IDE’s out there. xCode 8 badly breaks the code signing flow for anybody who was previously using wild-card bundle IDs. It crashes constantly, taking work and time with it. Instruments is badly broken with the simulator, the code indexer starts chewing up 180% of my CPU several times a day requiring a restart… But heh, Apple doesn’t care because you have no choice but to use this unstable pile of garbage if you’re writing code for an iThing. I usually wait several point releases before updating if I have a choice. The xCode engineers must sit in a different building than the rest of the Apple engineers that are forced to use xCode. They probably all use emacs...

unstable, mucks up files, a complete and utter travesty. someone should be fired for putting this app out for general use. releases upon releases, but this product never converges on something that really works or god forbid helps the developer. Apple like some many software based companies embodies the “Throw it over the wall” syndrome.

Xcode can’t refactor Swift?!

Microsoft’s .NET framework is still supporting code that was written 10 years ago. XCode won’t even compile code that was written last month! That’s right folks, Apple changed the Swift language on us again. Unbelievable. Yes, there is a built-in feature to convert your code to Swift 3, but it doesn’t work properly (my code came out completely mangled), and doesn’t help the fact that most of us use libraries from 3rd party vendors (who haven’t converted their code yet). All so that they can get rid of shortcuts like “i++” and other things that aren’t deemed to be “swifty” enough. Here’s a crazy idea. How about, instead of breaking everyone’s codebase, maybe put some effort into getting a usable IDE instead? The whole storyboard/assistant editor paradigm is brutal - most people don’t have monitors wide enough to see anything properly while in that view. And the assistant editor never associates the right code file with the storyboard component you have selected. Maybe I’m biased because I’m used to Microsoft programming (they treat their developers very well - amazing toolset and IDE). We’re here now because we have no choice, but this is no way to inspire loyalty in the developer community. As soon as some other platform starts to gain market traction, all of these angry developers are going to jump ship.

Don’t bother with this over complicated IDE. Always crashing, unresponsive, lacks most basic hotkeys, only use for the storyboard. Moved to appcode and never looked back.

I had a project that was working fine yesterday, but after the last update, some internal path got changed and everything stopped working. I think it has something with the project no longer being able to find any of the dependencies, including the simulators.

Okay, first of all, each time you download an update, its not really an update, its the whole app. Also, the last day, when I was messing around with what i could do, I found out my app couldnt run. Huh. Then I researched online. NOTE : youre not supposed to research online to see how to fix a problem. The problem was that the debugger was active, and I didnt know how to stop it. Just needed to remove a blue bar from the numbers of the code lines. At the very least, tell in the console or something how to deactivate the debugger, because I literally wasted 1 hour trying to figure out how to stop that form happening. Now I know thats me being dumb for not searching online, but still. Its not a good reason to not say how to get rid of specific things. I already worked with Eclipse, and I didnt had that problem. Seriously, just fix this and *many* other annoying things, because I think it is one of the worst apps made by the company itself. Good job you guys.

I wrote this review for an update in 2013.. It’s still a perfect review today as the install continues to fail, and now I’ve lost an entire day of work on trying to fix Apple’s mess. It seems every time there’s an update for Xcode you’ll press Update and the download will just sit there with “Waiting: Zero KB of 4.3GB” just like every other update they put out. I have no idea why this is the only app that freezes up the App Store downloads as I can bypass the waiting and download other apps while it just sits there frozen.. Fix this garbage and maybe it’ll get more than one star because every time you offer an update the application is unusable until you cancel the update with the little x in the applications folder. What a great product.

Im getting lots of bugginess when using Swift. Syntax highlighting just stops working. This has been happening since Swift shipped. Makes it very hard to work in the language. Im also getting really long build times and tests that just sit there forever. Come on. Make it work.

It is a great IDE. I always start by deleting old version of Xcode and install a fresh new one. Maybe that is why I do not have any headaches in this department. But, is it possible to get a reply to the bug reports in a prompt fashion? I still think it a wonderful IDE and will keep on using it.

Command /usr/bin/codesign failed with exit code 1 というエラーが出るようになりビルド・アップストアに提出ができなくなりました。 早く改善をお願いします。

I got error, "Command /usr/bin/codesign failed with exit code 5” and fail to build…

iPhoneのWeb開発で利用させていただいています。 以前はOpen Developer ToolのSimulatorをしている際に、iPhoneのsafariのWebインスペクタをMac（パソコン）側のsafariの開発メニューから表示可能でした。 ここ数月のこと（2016.12.2時点）だと思いますが、上記メニューで「調査可能なアプリケーションがありません」と表示され選択できなくなりました。 使用方法が変わったのか、困っています。 バージョンも一通り更新しました。MacOS(Ver.10.12.1)、xcode(Ver.8.1)、safari(Ver.10.0.1) 評価は本来「とても気に入っている」ですが、今回の件で利用できないための「普通」です。

It sucks now...

No more plugins, no more arcatraz. XCode crashes each time you click a *.sks file in the IDE. Bug reports are closed by engineers instantly. Don’t expect your Swift 2.2 code to be converted into Swift 3. Stay in XCode 7.31 if you can’t rewrite your code. ImageView/WebView gets bugged and becomes a blue rectangle sometimes. You can’t fix it save a fresh OSX install. You can’t use ImageViews or WebViews when this bug occurs. So buggy and this is a final release. Nothing’s been fixed in BETA. You are paying Macintosh price for PC performance and instability

I simply hate this IDE, however starting from Xcode 3.0 I got accustomed to Xcode so much, that it’s very hard for me to switch to something else (tried AppCode for 2 months and gave up because it lacks Interface Builder). Xcode is the most frustrating tool in Apple developers toolchain. Interestingly, 7.3.1 fixed a nasty bug introduced in 7.3, which made Interface Builder exceptionally slow/unresponsive if its window was displayed in ext. display… like, really Apple? That kind of bugs?

Hi guys, please check what happen with source control pull function, it cause crash!
