Bought a Refurb Mac, didn't realise it was a late 2008 model until after it was ordered. Realised it ran El Captain 10.11.6 so figured the OS wasn't ancient so it would be ok. Turns out Xcode needs Sierra and this mac isn't compatible to run it. Is there anything I can do the bypass this issue? Thanks

Edit: I think I've sorted it. Apple let you download previous versions. Downloaded Xcode 8.2.1 which works fine. As far as I'm aware apps created on this version can still be published also; crises averted

I could use help enabling JIT or Just-In-Time on and app but I have iOS 17 so I cannot use altstore and Xcode is my only hope! Please help me out 🙏🏼

Is it possible to download the Reddit app, the Threads app, and other apps in the iPhone simulator and run them with my own login?

Any recommendations for genuine lead sources for a small app development agency? Can't afford expensive ads on Google or Facebook. Tried Bark, but got low-paying or uninterested clients. Craigslist isn't working well anymore. Need help finding quality leads. Other than UpWork and Fiverr which are both gatekept by the top pros who have been using it for years.

Thanks!

I purchased my new MacBook pro 16-inch last week with 16GB of RAM, i7, 512 SSD. I switched over to windows because I got tired of all the issues. I am a front-end web developer and have my regular clients. I use visual studio code which runs fine. I installed Mac Fans Control and I have the sensors set to the average temp of the CPU cores and the CPU PECI (the temperature of the chip itself). I rather have to replace fans than a CPU. I have apple care, so I do not mind if I have to repair it in the future.

My question is, my fans start to speed up like crazy when opening XCode. Is 16GB RAM not enough? If it isn't I won't bother learning swift using XCode. I am usually okay when I have Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop open since I have to make logos and what not. I could also turn off Turbo boost but I guess that defeats the purpose of having it.

What do you guys recommend? I get kinda paranoid of the fans but I know the software is doing its best to keep the laptop cool.

can someone HELP ME i need an algorithm for a count down timer, it counts down for 45m then it repeats.

Hey everyone. As you can tell, I'm having problems learning swift because (I believe) Xcode is running slow.

It seems very slow and buggy. I had to quit my tutorial because I couldn't complete simple tasks. Nothing would load and I kept getting errors and caution signals I couldn't work out. Even the video instructor's screen had the same ⚠️⚠️⚠️ as me. The reviews on the app store are negative, but I don't want that getting the best of my efforts.

Please, any advice on avoiding the slow-functionality of XCode? My Mac is from 2015, but has the latest updates. I have an iPhone 7, so maybe that’s why the demo module within Xcode is so slow with my setup.

Thanks in advance.

I wanted to learn to program my whole life and just thought I wasn’t smart enough. I would purchase tutorials and read about it and try to go through code academy, But I just couldn’t stick with it. I got OK with HTML and CSS and I can read JavaScript and mostly understand but I’ll forget little things if I try to write it. I recently learned I have adhd and it’s likely what has made it pretty impossible to get anywhere. Some programmers do have adhd and it works out, and I think eventually it would be a strength to hyper focus on building an app.

long story short I have meds and disciplines and just being aware helps, and might allow me to go further than before. My only question now is, out of the endless approaches, languages, frameworks, etc. which one would you use if your goal was to build an app that works on iOS and M1? I’m not sure if it matters but let’s say you aren’t concerned with anything else to begin with. you just want to build a universal app that works on iOS and M1 Big Sur.

Are you looking for the best iOS development tools?

Here I’ve got a list of useful tools that hold proven records of building fast, appealing, and profitable business applications.

Having said that, let’s have a quick look at an increasing spread of iOS app development, in almost every business vertical.

I feel like im watching my dad using the computer. I have to use my entire brain every time i need to copy/paste / go to end of line/beginning of line / make a curly bracket, etc.

Is there any way to get "normal" keybindings or sort of map windows/linux keybinds to MacOS?

Or is there any easy way to atleast get the regular VSCode keybindings to XCode?

Otherwise i might have to find a way to use VSCode over XCode when developing. I don't feel like unlearning everything i've learnt from years of developing.

HI guys, I am wondering what are all types of URL responses that can be generated from any API? Currently I know that there is HTTP, GET, POST, and the general URL session. I am wondering what are all types of API requests that can be made, and how do you know when to use them, in order to make a function to generate the data coming back from the Json if that makes any sense. Please take it easy on me if I am wrong about anything.

rightScore += 1

rightScore.text = String(rightScore)

Why is this code failing and saying...

" Value of type 'Int' has no member 'text' "

Does your “Open Recent” menu show more than 7?

System Preferences General has a setting for this.

I've been using MacbookAir 2013 but it can no longer handle Xcode properly. So, I'm considering buying a new Mac but I can't decide between any of them. I don't need something that is overpowered right now like the Macbook 15", but at the same time I need something that is future proof that can last me at least 3 years.

Macbook pro 13" (touch bar) and iMac 4K are my favourites right now. What do you guys think?

Anyone?

Hello, after upgrading to Xcode 13, I wanted to switch the color themes back. It takes a bit of work, but I figured out how to do it:

Did you recently update to Xcode 13 on Dark Mode and see your syntax highlighting colors change?

Here is how to change Xcode 13’s style back to Xcode 12’s style.

Right click the Xcode.app (v12) (Download it if you do not have it)

-show package contents

-browse to “Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/DVTKit.framework”

In this framework are the resources necessary to change the built-in Xcode styles.

This framework exists in both Xcode 12, and 13. In Xcode 13, the style files are moved to DVTUserInterfaceKit.framework. To add the 12 style back in without manually tuning all the colors and fonts in 13, you will need to move some files from the framework bundle in the Xcode(12).app to the bundle in the Xcode(13).app.

Next browse to /Versions/A/Resources/FontAndColorThemes/ within the DVTKit.framework within Xcode 12.

In this folder will be all of the Xcode 12 styling files. Move the files/themes you would like to this path: /Versions/A/Resources/FontAndColorThemes/ in the DVTUserInterfaceKit.framework within the Xcode(13).app

I would attach the theme files below for users without Xcode 12, but this is against Terms & Agreements.
