:This is a page for discussing the [[Xcode]] article, not for discussing Xcode itself. Apple probably won't use comments on the talk page for Xcode as a source of suggestions for improvements to Xcode; the best way to make suggestions of that sort is to [https://developer.apple.com/programs/register/ register as an Apple developer] (for free) and then [https://developer.apple.com/support/resources/bug-reporting.html file a bug] requesting the new feature.

== Archiving toolchain versions ==

As of Xcode 6.0, almost none of the fields under "toolchain versions" are applicable. Ideas on cleaning it up and marking it as very clearly historical, but no longer applicable/appropriate for current versions? [[User:Cipherswarm|cipherswarm]] ([[User talk:Cipherswarm|talk]]) 19:35, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

Xcode is an integrated development environment (IDE) containing a suite of software development tools developed by Apple for developing software for OS X and iOS. First released in 2003, the latest stable release is version 6.3 and is available via the Mac App Store free of charge for OS X Yosemite users.[1] Registered developers can download preview releases and previous versions of the suite through the Apple Developer website.[2] However, Apple recently made a beta version of version 6.x of the software available to those of the public with Apple Developer accounts.[3] <small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/182.74.23.194|182.74.23.194]] ([[User talk:182.74.23.194|talk]]) 05:16, 12 May 2015 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== External links modified ==

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to {{plural:2|one external link|2 external links}} on [[Xcode]]. Please take a moment to review [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=686327060 my edit]. If necessary, add {{tlx|cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{tlx|nobots|deny{{=}}InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

*Added archive https://web.archive.org/20120925172241/http://developer.apple.com:80/library/IOS/ to https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/WhatsNewXcode/Articles/xcode_4_3_1.html

== Nib / Xib file format revision compatibility in chart(s) ==

It's nice to see the existing tables that list the tool versions, but I would also like to see the minimum and maximum Nib file versions supported by each release of Xcode. I suppose my purpose here is two-fold: first, to seek confirmation that this additional column of information would be appropriate, and second, to obtain that information and start entering it here. (I have old projects that won't load in the latest Xcode, so it seems like it would be nice to have a reference so I would know how far back in the Xcode release history I need to go in order to be able to load and upgrade an old Nib to the current format version.)

== Separate version history article ==

Most of this article actually covers a detailed overview of previous releases. Would anyone object to moving most of the content (namely, from the sections "Version history", "Version comparison table" and "Toolchain versions") to a separate [[XCode version history]] article, leaving a summary on this article with a link to it? This would conform to [[WP:SPLIT]], and match the structure of similar articles in [[:Category:Software version histories]]. --[[User:Waldir|Waldir]] ^{[[User talk:Waldir|talk]]} 16:19, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

:Hi, {{u|Waldir}}.

:I don't see how your proposal conforms to [[WP:SPLIT]]. In fact, I think it does not conform to [[WP:SPLITSIZE]].

:Best regards,<br/>[[User:Codename Lisa|Codename Lisa]] ([[User talk:Codename Lisa|talk]]) 16:56, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

:: I'm not sure I follow. From what I can infer, this article falls well within [[WP:SPLITSIZE]]'s parameters. Can you elaborate? --[[User:Waldir|Waldir]] ^{[[User talk:Waldir|talk]]}

:::Well, 10kB readable prose size. That's well below the ideal size of 30 to 50 kB. Contents are closely related, so no grounds for split there. —[[User:Codename Lisa|Codename Lisa]] ([[User talk:Codename Lisa|talk]]) 00:31, 1 April 2017 (UTC)

== Version history - differences between 8.3.2, 8.3.3, 9 - not consistent with what it says in app store ==

App store currently shows 8.3.3 as latest version. "What's new in Version 8.3.3" (in app store) lists all the items that are mentioned in this Wiki as being new in 9.0. Specifically, app store says "Xcode 8.3.3 includes Swift 3.1 and SKDs for iOS 10.3, watchOS 3.2, tvOS 10.2, and macOS Sierra 10.12".

== Latest version not shown in infobox ==

Latest version is 9.3; but 9.2 is shown.

:[[WP:BOLD|You have permission to update it]]. Just click on the [±] button to edit the template page with the version information. Note that the build number, reference for the build number, and release date information should all be updated.

== max macOS to run ==

The table "Xcode 7.0 - 10.x (since Free On-Device Development)" has a column "min macOS to run". I added a column "max macOS to run" including the one data point for which I had information. On 21:02, 25 March 2019‎ the change was undone by Speakus with the comment "ugly column which does not matter". As an Xcode user, this information matters to me because it tells me, for example, that if I upgrade from macOS 10.13 to 10.14 I will lose the ability to use Xcode 8.3.3. As for "ugly", I don't think aesthetics are the criterion for including information. [[User:CLandau|CLandau]] ([[User talk:CLandau|talk]]) 17:46, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

: Table too ugly now with this edit cause this info exist only for one Xcode version. Probably it could be added as column "notes" (or similar) after 'Downloadable simulators'. Anyway it would be nice to have some proof link. Also I guess '10.13' is not last cause 10.13.6 is last. So in the 'notes' column you could add something like: {{refn|Unable to run since MacOS 10.14{{refn|some prooflink}}}} or (may be better) add to next version note like this: {{refn|oldest version Xcode possible to run since MacOS 10.14{{refn|some other prooflink}}}}. Please do not undo good edits to make attention. You always could ask my attention by adding any comments on my talk page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Speakus [[User:Speakus|Speakus]] ([[User talk:Speakus|talk]]) 18:12, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

:: I added the column :) Fill free to add any useful info to that column (but prooflinks is really appreciated) [[User:Speakus|Speakus]] ([[User talk:Speakus|talk]]) 18:34, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

== Too much "developing"? ==

The first line of the article reads:

"Xcode is an integrated '''''development''''' environment (IDE) for macOS containing a suite of software '''''development''''' tools '''''developed''''' by Apple for '''''developing''''' software for macOS, iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and tvOS."

Is it ''really'' necessary to use the word "develop" four times in a single sentence? <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/84.21.205.162|84.21.205.162]] ([[User talk:84.21.205.162#top|talk]]) 00:57, 5 December 2020 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:You might want to ask [[Steve Ballmer#Public image|Steve Ballmer]] about that. :-)

:But, yes, that could use some editing. [[User:Guy Harris|Guy Harris]] ([[User talk:Guy Harris|talk]]) 20:12, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
