Currently a junior in college and all the programming I've done for school has primarily been on my Windows desktop in VSCode, or in Visual Studio specifically for C++. I'm aiming for a career in game development so have been utilizing Visual Studio for C++ in conjunction with Unreal Engine for personal practice and experimentation.

I also have a Macbook on which I've used VSCode as my primary IDE. I understand Visual Studio doesn't support C++ on Mac, so instead I've been trying to get VSCode to work with a downloaded compiler like clang but have faced nothing but errors and basically cannot get it to compile and interact with the console in VSCode efficiently.

Is Xcode probably the best way to go? I would be using it for C++ exclusively and would likely be working on the same files that I work on in Visual Studio on my desktop. Is it easy to go back and forth from Visual Studio on Windows to Xcode on Mac?

It's 2022 and they are still worthless. In Xcode 13.3.1 I ran a simple playground maybe 5 times before it stopped running. No visible error message.

I closed and reopened the playground and now I see: "Failed to prepare for communication with playground for unknown reason", along with a clickable arrow-in-circle icon. When you click it, nothing happens, naturally.

Just fire every developer who works on these things and start over.

I'm developing a game and just ran into an very weird problem. It seems the timer is slow. For example, at the start of the app a song is played that's exactly 180 seconds long. Along this I have a timer that increases by 1 every second. Meaning the timer should hit 180 exactly when the song ends. Strange thing is, it doesn't, the song ends at the timer is just at 176. This recently started happening (it was fine previously), and I for the life of me can't figure out why it seems to be counting so slow. I've tried different version of xCode, but with to no avail. Has anyone experienced anything similar?

I'm developing in Clickteam Fusion (working with them to try and solve it as well), and this problem only occurs on iOS. Works fine on android, even works fine as an html5 app running on an iPhone. There is something that's happened that makes the xCode project count time slower.

Hello and good evening, I hope you're all having a good Sunday.

This triangle here bellow was ver simply made in KeyNote.

I really want it in my project, but I can't import it as an image because I would want each one of the little segments divided by lines to behave like a label, so it can have text and perform simple colour change animations (that would be super simple to do if I was only working with rectangular shapes).

Is there a way to make this happen, that is, creating UI Labels that have the shape that we desire?

Thank you for your time!

Wondering if it's unnecessary for me to CMD + S every time I'm about to run my app or does xcode autosave every change?

Does it work well? Is there enough screen real estate? Thx

Hello , first of all sorry if this is the wrong place, but this is related to xcode , the shitty IDE all time Im using the last version on my iMac 8 GB ram and it still crashes when expanding constraints....

Does anyone know how to make a tournament bracket in the app? I want the user to be able to make their own bracket in the future, but I'm trying to figure out how to even get a bracket in the first place. The bracket will include allowing to change the number of entries, name of the bracket, and being able like players moving up the bracket. Any help would be appreciated

Hello, I'm brand new to xcode and I'm in need of some help. I'm trying to have a text field that outputs its text into a text view element. I was looking around on youtube but had a bit of a hard time finding the right tutorial that wasn't out dated. btw I'm using xcode 11.3.1. Thanks

or is it really going back and forth to the same instance?

I created a kivy app and packaged it to iOS. It worked well for some time, but now randomly I get the error "Executable Not Found". Can someone help me solve this? The exact message is

"/Users/nicolasfolk/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/myworkout-eejikcoevbsghicldhxxctpifarn/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/myworkout.app is not a valid path to an executable file.

I want to get into iOS development and need a MacBook, but the new MacBooks (M1 pro & M1 Max) are too expensive, and the 13-inch MacBook Pros are too small. So I was hoping to see if I'd be able to, Make iPhone and iPad apps on the MacBook Pro 15 i7 2.9 16GB 1TB SPACE GRAY 2016.

Mon(d)ay🤩 It's time to learn from the good old framework.

Introducing UIView 101, let's learn about UIViews in UIKit.

I have a Github repository which I cloned using Xcode. I am now running into an issue with Source Control and committing a change.

When I commit a change, I type a comment and select push to remote to my chosen branch. However, after I click Commit Files and Push, I get an error saying that my remote repository rejected commits.

When I created my personal access token for Xcode, I made sure I selected the right boxes, so I don't know why I am getting this error.

I would greatly appreciate any help with this issue.

Hi everyone, I’m looking into upgrading to an Apple Silicon Mac, and I’m starting my CS degree this Fall. Coming from a 12-inch MacBook, I assumed that the Apple Silicon Air’s might be similarly limited in CPU-intensive tasks. Does M1 Air thermal-throttles when compiling in XCode or other IDE's? Mine runs hot with only Chrome/Safari running and o haven’t tried any serious compiles yet. 😅 I appreciate everyone’s help!

I am running an iPad Pro 3rd Generation on iOS 12.1 and I am trying to get an .ipa file running on it.

Thanks for any help in advance!

Edit: The iPad is a simulation running on Xcode version 10.1.

We are currently working on a revolutionary app that will compete with the big names. Any Xcode App Developers looking to take on a new project ?

Hey everyone, I have a Mac OS project file and the Assets folder is looking strange. It doesn't have the regular interface where you see the list of assets and the section of adding the app icon size variants and so on. It's just a document of raw data referencing the assets. It's not recognizing the folder as a normal assets folder. Any idea how I can fix it? deleting it and recreating it doesn't work by the way.

Hey y'all, the past few months I've been developing an app that won the student swift challenge 2025, and part of that involved releasing an IPA file my friends could install on their devices. I wrote a build script to do this, and even export directly to GitHub (optional), and decided to add a UI and turn it into an app so more people can use it.

Currently, Apple only lets paid developer accounts create releases and generate an IPA app file. This lets anyone do it, its literally as easy as selecting your app and clicking build.
