==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 -->

== 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)

== Xcode languages support ==

: 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 addednoticed the columnpart :)where Fillit freetalks toabout addXcode language support should be updated for the languages it supports today. Does it really have any usefultooling infofor toJava or Ruby nowadays? And the extra languages that columnneeded (butplugins prooflinksprobably isaren’t reallysupported appreciated)anymore either.

: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.

== Too much "developing"? ==

::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 ==

"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."

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. [[User:Byron.C.Hawkins|Byron.C.Hawkins]] ([[User talk:Byron.C.Hawkins|talk]]) 13:40, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

Is it ''really'' necessary to use the word "develop" four times in a single sentence?
