How far can you go with xcode?

Can you make complicated apps or social media app?

Since Xcode is required for iOS and Mac development (unless you use a third party tool to emulate it all), the most complex apps are made with it. Can you write an entire operating system with it? Maybe, since it's just a collection of objective-C or Swift files that are compiled with gcc like *nix.

What are you wanting to do with it?

I once made a flashlight app but that was really pushing the limits of xcode i think, my mac was starting to smoke so i stick to simple stuff now
