What do you like best about Xcode?

Its free and packages can be published for free, which is a rare thing on Apple MacOS. definitely easy to use even for newbies and since its implemented by default on all Macs you can just access it directly wthout needing any plugins or downloads Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xcode?

Its slow sometimes and debugging is hard considering the time it takes to reach exeptions or crashes at a specific memory stack. There is no customer support available though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Xcode solving and how is that benefiting you?

I build native C++ apps for apple mac using Xcode for free, without needing to purchase nay fancy plugins or additional third party tools. Also the apps built are completely native without having any rubbish packages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Xcode?

The capability and smoothness of XCode inside the Apple hardware make it enjoyable and productive for iOS development and the simulators in the XCode are way better when it is compared with its Android counterpart. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xcode?

The thing that makes it smooth and faster also makes it limited to Apple hardware. And when updates are released, the support with external frameworks like React Native, we have to do extra migration work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Xcode solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use XCode mostly with the React Native app development to easily debug the iOS application and add some native code to the app when it is not available in the react native framework. XCode helps easily with the built-in simulator for smooth debugging on multiple devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
