What do you like best about Xcode?
It is very perfect that I can instantly preview the application I developed on physical devices, this way I get rid of the burden of installing a simulator on my computer. This saves a lot of both disk space and memory power for programming. Also, the code completion feature is almost as good as Github Copilot, I say almost because sometimes it can wait for 3 seconds before offering suggestions, I don't know, maybe it's because of my computer, but this is perfect, it really gives me exactly what I want and can read the comment lines I made about the data models and provide me with functional data models.

What do you dislike about Xcode?
XCode takes up a lot of disk space. Disk space is very valuable for an entry-level MacBook Air (I know there are pro models for this, but I had enough money to buy an Air) user like me. XCode uses more space than my disk with swap space due to the frequent updates and the high memory usage caused by its superior capabilities. This can be a bit challenging.

What do you like best about Xcode?
It helps us to deliver games into apps store. The best thing about it as it seemlessly works on Apple frameworks though availability towards other platforms isn't possible without Apple computer but it works best. It has many platform support for objective C and swift. It as a good framework for developing the libraries required for the development and bridging to internal libraries for the games. The AR scene creation is super friendly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Xcode?
The only drawback is the limitation to single OS which is Mac OS. A person who wants to deploy into Apple Store must have a Mac OS computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Xcode?
Xcode seamlessly integrates with Apple ecosystem. As a result developing apps, especially for iOS and macOS is very smooth. For macOS I can leverage native macOS environment while for iOS I can easily switch between supported iOS versions and devices. Plus it's all totally free! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Xcode?
Any development for non-Apple hardward is still a challenge unfortunately. If Apple starts supporting wider ecosystem I might make Xcode my daily driver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xcode?
The Xcode platform specifically targeted Mac OS for mobile application development there are a numerous users using other operating systems like windows and Linux, soo xcode should provide a way to let access their software on other OS as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
