Xcode App Reviews

There’s always something. The keyboard capitalization is reversed for me in the simulator (tried on several different versions of iOS). When my Caps lock is on it types lower case in the simulator, when it is off it types capitalized. Annoying. Please fix. As a programmer there’s something called testing and quality control, try it out sometime. Maybe you’ll finally make a perfect version of xcode.

Love the newer Xcode but hate this specific version so far. Everything is great, when it works except for the small fact you cant submit to the App Store with this version... Id recommend waiting for the next release before grabbing this version although many like myself are stuck since you need this to build to iOS 10.2 Dear developer, We have discovered one or more issues with your recent submission for "Rx30 Signature". To process your submission, the following issues must be corrected: Invalid sdk value

From version to version the same stupid bugs. The documentation UI is unusable and broken. Apple just ignores dev’s feedback and makes things worse.

Every single line of code changes takes another 5 mins to recompile, and the issue is still not fixed after 2 dot releases? Not to mention there are so many crashes since Xcode 8 and none of them are fixed. Stop developing tab bar features for xcode, apple. Send someone smart to fix the compile time issues first.

I’m not sure it even makes sense to review Xcode as an app. If you want to write software for the Mac (or the iPhone), you pretty much have to use it. There’s a lot to love. Interface Builder is the best of its kind, and the constraint system works very well now. The nib system is clever, and as modern xibs, it’s feasible to use with version control. The profiler is among the best I’ve seen. Keyboard navigation is surprisingly good. It integrates with Git these days (more or less). There’s a lot to hate. The line spacing bounces around for no apparent reason. It still crashes too often. Autocomplete is slow and unreliable. The Swift compiler still feels like a beta, in all respects, even at version 3.0. The text editor is not particularly powerful. But is anybody going to use or not use Xcode, based on a review? Nope. Install it, do the best you can with it, and file bug reports whenever you run into trouble.

In general this is a great development tool, but this version often crashes.

How much storage space is needed to download this app? I have 12 GB free on my master SSD. The app is around 4.5 GB. App store does not allow me to download it stating “Not enough disk space to install product."

Just updated a few things in my app and wanted to run it on my physical test device. When I clicked build my code signing certs were “not found.” I updated to 8.2.1 hoping it would fix the issue (solved one and created another) and when I ran my app it was all kinds of messed up. 1. Constraints are all over the place and I have overlapping UI Elements in several areas. 2. My UIWebView no longer loads web pages and shows the error nw_host_stats_add_src recv too small, received 24, expected 28 over and over again in the debugger. I have no idea how to fix these items since they functioned perfectly before I updated Xcode. If you are utilizing UIWebView and TableViewCell extensively in your storyboard, I would avoid updating until this is fixed. PS I will happily update my review if the issue is resolved.

I want the update but it will not install tried several times, get with it APPLE!

Xcode is by far the most pathetic development environment I have ever used. Here is a brief list of reasons that it is horrible: - Crashes on a regular basis. - Has incredibly limited functionality when compared to an actual MODERN development environment like Visual Studio. - Syntax highlighting breaks constantly. This is particularly awful when using Swift. - Storyboards where a poor idea from the start, but seem to fall apart entirely when using Swift. The auto layout agent crashes every time you open the darn thing, and just makes it impossible to actually edit your Storboard.

I have a lot of classes in my project, XCode keeps indexing all the time. Autocompletion does not work. Or slow. Or jumps to wrong files. I had to migrate to another IDE, at this point XCode is barely usable.

I have been trying for a while now to update Xcode but for some reason it can’t ever fully install. It always reaches a certain point and then just say “installing” indefinitely. Looks like there’s about 20% left to install…. this is just ridiculous

Been getting error readings that are duplicated and faulty. In my project, I have been receiving an error where it states “View controller is unreachable because it has no entry points..” Of course I can fix it by creating a segue between my two views or by creating a storyboard ID. The problem arises when it provides not only one warning but two of the same identical warnings, in which I was able to knock one of them off by creating a storyboard ID (the other warning will be fixed through a segue). Its very confusing since I am creating a duplicate app (app is essentially similar to how Uber has a driver and rider app respectively, so pretend this duplicate is the rider version) in which the duplicate seems to only have one of the same warnings instead of two (which will be fixed for sure when I complete the segue). This leads to my second issue. When I create my second attempt at the driver version (after deleting the first attempt because I was thinking it was a glitch, thus decided to create a new project file to recreate it in hopes the warnings won’t be there) under the same name for the project, it seems to pop up those TWO SAME warnings BEFORE I do anything to the storyboard and controller…. very very weird. But if I made the driver version under a diff name (instead of “Uber for driver” I write “Uber driver” for example), it would start from a clean slate with no errors as its supposed to. Hope this gets fixed soon as its very confusing to code.

I’ve been using Xcode for about 2 years now and this is defintiely the worst update… application hangs and crashes constantly. Compiler is constantly confused showing errors for things that are clearly not errors, hopefully this gets fixed soon. :/

I’ve tried repeatedly to download this app but it constantly freezes when nearly complete. It then says there is 7 minutes remaining but the time never decreases. Maybe you should sholve this problem. Another review posted on December 31st was having the same issue.

Never seen such a bad IDE, nothing is working correctly, commenting, auto-completion, indentation, random builds errors, builds error with no sense … Not event the code coloration or the navigation between file is working correctly. Please update !

This version is pretty good, thank you for it!

Switching from storyboard to a swift class crashes systematicaly Xcode. Need update.

Honestly, XCode is not so great as an IDE (I usually use AppCode if I want to do actual work), but I still use it for archiving and publishing new versions. But what happens when the Apple servers are down? XCode crashes. I could tell that there is some problem with the connection thanks to the Application Loader app that fails as well (but doesn’t crash)

Four, five times…reboot, retry. No, really ?! I can’t upload my project archive to iTunes Connect. Critical bug !
