== TooXcode muchlanguages "developing"?support ==

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)

Ha, good point. I just took a stab at it, feel free to tweak it. --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] ([[User talk:Iritscen|talk]]) 20:13, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

I noticed the part where it talks about Xcode language support should be updated for the languages it supports today. Does it really have any tooling for Java or Ruby nowadays? And the extra languages that needed plugins probably aren’t supported anymore either. [[User:Balder16|Balder16]] ([[User talk:Balder16|talk]]) 02:25, 12 February 2025 (UTC)

== Good stuff ==

:I searched the Apple Developer documentation, and the only other supported language I could find was C++. There's no page on Java or Ruby.

::I was meaning to gather some references to rewrite that part and ended up getting busy with other stuff. For example, when it says third parties added support to other programming languages, that was a feature of the Plugins that aren't even supported anymore.

== Possibly incorrect LLVM tag for Xcode 16.2 ==

== Release dates differ from developer.apple.com ==

In the "Toolchain version history" table, the footnote on Xcode 16.2 indicates LLVM tag swift-6.0.3-RELEASE. But it is not possible to build LLVM on this tag using Xcode 16.2, because a [https://github.com/swiftlang/llvm-project/commit/94471e73fe3a6e5ddf700ed79941b1f1c8d2127b fix] for a [https://github.com/swiftlang/llvm-project/issues/9305 compile error] is missing from that release. Instead, tag swift-6.1-RELEASE is necessary for building with Xcode 16.2. This suggests a change should be made to the footnote, moving the referenced tag up to the nearest functioning tag, which is swift-6.1-RELEASE.

Is there a reason multiple dates (specifically in the 1.x-2.x range, not got further yet) differ from [https://developer.apple.com/download/all/?q=xcode developer.apple.com]? --[[User:IAdam1n|iAdam1n]] ([[User talk:IAdam1n|talk]]) 15:38, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
