==Suggestions for improving the article==

Screenshots anyone? <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Int19h|Int19h]] ([[User talk:Int19h|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Int19h|contribs]]) 09:36, 2004 May 30</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->

== 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)

== Xcode languages support ==

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

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)

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".

: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 ==

[[User:Samuel Marks|Samuel Marks]] ([[User talk:Samuel Marks|talk]]) 08:15, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

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.

:[[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. [[User:Guy Harris|Guy Harris]] ([[User talk:Guy Harris|talk]]) 08:23, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
