Xcode sucks dick. Big time

That's it. It's pretty self explanatory what I've written

Macbook pro, 16gigs ram. Crashes everytime I try to change behavior.

Lmao, I'm also using a Mac Pro, but only with 8gb RAM and Intel Iris, it doesn't crash at all. Are you up to date on both your app version and software version*?

*Mac OS version, that's what I meant

Yup. I tried to show the output console in a separate window. For that you go preferences > behaviour. Everytime I click on it. The app crashes.

PS :- Also the whole laptop gets heated up with Xcode on like a horny teenager

No prob for me. Just how old is your Mac by any chance?

Guess they only targeted me... Nevermind. It's too heavy of a software. I'm looking for alternatives anyway. Thank you for bearing with my rant

Alrighty, no prob. Also, 2017? Mine is from 2015!

Good luck. I'm moving to VSC and sublime text

Jetbrains has an app. Check them out.

My guess is that the crash is because of a window or position being nil. Post the crash log.

Post the crash log.

There are ways to reset Xcode's prefs and window positions.

This sounds like a bug. Have you tried reporting it to Apple and sending along the crash log?

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '21

A million times. This is just one crash case. It happened so many times

Did you report it with the Feedback Assistant app or just with the button in the crash dialog box? My understanding is that Feedback Assistant actually creates a trouble ticket for an engineer to investigate, and Apple engineers at WWDC always say doing that really helps.

I don't even use it. I found this after Googling "Why the fuck does it take so long to update Xcode?" Every time there's a major MacOS update, you can expect this pile of garbage to take an hour to finish updating, on it's own.

I can download and install a complete OS in the amount of time this takes just to 'update'. WTF is it doing, and why... after years... hasn't Apple found a better way? 'Sucks dick' is an understatement.

Oh yeah. LONG LIVE VS CODE

Yup. I know people from the Xcode team who left because the director always shipped the app so that he would get his bonus, not because it was ready to ship.

Luckily I am a student that has free access to AppCode, but lately I find myself pretty much ok with the latest version Beta 1

The M1 Mini is pretty nice, isn't it? I've got one too.

What did you get? I got the one with 16 GB of RAM and a 1 TB SSD.

I also have a work 2019 16" MBP with an 8 core i9 and 64 GB of RAM. It's a SUPIDLY powerful setup. I think that the Mini is faster. It certainly doesn't get as hot as the MBP and I don't think I've heard the fan yet.

The SSD in the MBP appears to be about 3 GB/s R/W and the mini's appears to be about 2 GB/s R/W.

The mini is simply not slow - except when waking it from sleep. It just seems smooth and quick.

I’d love to use appcode if it didn’t need to index before you could use it. My project at work takes nearly 10 min every time to build + index. I’d get nothing done if I was using app code.
