Overall was an awesome experience but wasn't for us in the end as it was too hard to implement in-app purchasing and subscriptions to our app. Also was very tedious having to resubmit the app to be published every time we made small changes.
Pros: Xcode offered a great amount of endless design options. Loved the way you can do a simulation of your app in a sandbox environment on different Apple devices from iPad Air to the latest iPhone or Apple Watch. Great library for filing media items too.
Cons: You can build any app you are after, given that you either know Swift (coding language) back to front or have plenty of time to research how to build your app. Cons are that it is very code intensive and difficult to wrap your head around some trickier concepts to bring them to life. Another con is the difficulty with publishing apps not always displaying why they got rejected from the app store and also adding in-app purchase functionality is difficult.

Pros: Many of the build tools are automated, such as code correction, debugging, and deployment. This feature saves the developer time in building app.
Cons: You need Apple Mac in order to use this tool. Apple devices are necessary for building an app.

Pros: It has a ton of useful features and is really nicely integrated with Swift as well as Git. The UI is pretty appealing and overall has friendly interface.
Cons: Sometimes it might take too much time to load and sometime the default window does not even pop up.
Roshish S. · Flutter Developer · Information Technology and Services · September 20, 2023
Pros: Xcode is great IDE for IOS developers. The package and plugin it offers are great. The Ui and theme are very appealing.
Cons: the app becomes laggy if you try to do multiple things. The boundary that it sets for app to build only in XCODE might be unacceptable for other developers.
Ritesh J. · Frontend developer · Computer Software · September 13, 2023
From developing to deployment, XCode is a single suite to do all of, which is super easy. Also for developing any App for Apple devices, XCode is mandatory. You can build an app without it. Even with Flutter
Pros: Apple creates XCode for developing apps for various Apple devices. It has all the required tools for developing & deploying an app. No additional tool is required for deployment. We can do it directly from Apple XCode
Cons: XCode itself is good. We need to pay 99$ per annum for a developer account, which is very expensive compared to Google PlayStore. We can use XCode without purchasing a developer account, but that limits many options such as sharing a test app with friends.
Rishad A. · IT Manager · Information Technology and Services · June 12, 2023
It's good, not that there are many alternative to build iOS apps, so we have to stick with what Apple offers.
Pros: I like that Apple keeps on improving this IDE at every new version by making it always more easy for us developer to build our apps.
Cons: It is slow in building projects. Android studio is faster with instant run, not to mention Flutter!

Non si può prescindere da Xcode se si vuole programmare per dispositivi iOS ma l'IDE presenta numerosi difetti che rendono difficile e lenta la programmazione.
Pros: Xcode è un scelta obbligata per chi si accinge allo sviluppo di applicazioni iOS e macOS. Ho trovato l' interfaccia utente abbastanza intuitiva anche se può all'inizio disorientare un nuovo utente ma a mio avviso l'unico vero pregio di questo IDE è l'emulatore integrato che permette di debuggare le applicazioni anche senza avere un dispositivo apple fisico (permettendo di risparmiare parecchio)
Cons: I difetti purtroppo superano i pregi. Innanzitutto per utilizzare Xcode è necessario avere un Mac (molto oneroso) ma il problema principale è che l'IDE soprattutto nelle ultime versioni presenta numerosi bug. inoltre è molto lento in fase di compilazione e di segnalazione degli errori. Infine scaricare xcode e gli sdk necessari alla programmazione di app mobile occupa molto spazio sull'hardisk

It is a usable development environment with many great features, at the same time a sometimes less user friendly user interface
Pros: Xcode is essentially the only tool with which it is relatively convenient to develop applications on Apple devices. It has a lot of features, but from the QA positions I like the source code debugger the most, it's top quality
Cons: Unfortunately, Xcode has several bugs, the app often crashes when it is committed to other branches. The application does not compile, but the exact error is not reported. It has less user friendly user interface.
Viktor T. · Software engineer in test · Information Technology and Services · February 22, 2023
Required and must have app for iOS development, with nice storyboards implementation but code recognition is bad. Overall performance of the IDE is also bad.
Pros: This app is nearly must have in iOS Apps development. You can look for another apps but you finally get know that without Xcode you can't do so many things. I like the storyboards, which allows you to create app more interactively without less skills.
Cons: Code inspections and auto recognition is bad. The performance for these functions is also bad.
Martin P. · Web App Developer · Computer Software · February 21, 2023
Lo utilizzo quasi ogni giorno a lavoro poiché le app che sviluppiamo hanno sia il target Android che iOS. Indispensabile poiché non è possibile produrre build iOS in nessun altro modo.
Pros: Facilità di utilizzo. Ottimo IDE. Utilissimo la funzionalità ad alto livello che permette di collegare codice e UI.
Cons: Durante il debugging capita a volte di perdere il collegamento con il device.
Fabiano A. · Consulente IT · Information Technology and Services · February 1, 2023
Tutto perfetto nel complesso
Pros: Il servizio clienti rispondo un po in ritardo ma aiutanti tanto.
Cons: Il servizio clienti risponde un po tardi
Gabriele L. · Imprenditore · Arts and Crafts · January 18, 2023
It takes some getting used to, and there are often lots of small issues, but ultimately it does the job.
Pros: There are not exactly alternatives when building iOS software, and Xcode is ultimately good enough. Once you overcome the initial learning curve and various teething issues, it's pretty quick to deploy new builds to the App Store, for instance. Automatic account/team/signing management is also useful.
Cons: The filesize is huge. This is particularly problematic on Macs with small internal storage, as updating often involved uninstalling, then doing a full reinstall (sometimes 30GB+ of free space is needed).
Julian H. · UX Consultant · Design · January 4, 2023
Pros: When it comes to competition with other app builders, Xcode Apps displays a touch of seniority over others with a superior user interface, a robust system and user experience, and a multifaceted design layout.very unique in terms of features, functionalities, and deployment.After code assembly, you can upload your IPA apps directly to the Apple IOS store, with instant support from the Apple team and a massive community to gain insight from and learn from.
Cons: It takes a long time to load.Why does this only work for the deployment of an iOS app?I'll suggest making it a bit faster to load. Keeping up with all of the updates can be difficult due to unexpected emulator stoppages, builder interruptions, and stoppages.
Princely O. · CEO · Information Technology and Services · December 8, 2022
Pros: Xcode is the best tool for developing iOS apps in Swift: it's very well integrated with the language, the compiler and the source control (Git). You can easily start developing your first mobile app for iPhone or you can use it for huge and professional products.
Cons: It’s not rare that the program crashes or is unresponsive, especially with big projects. The issue is easily fixed restarting the program.
Alessio N. · iOS Developer · Computer Software · September 19, 2022
Me ha gustado bastante la experiencia de UI que tiene Xcode,
Pros: El ambiente grafico, tengo el código y la vista previa con su emulador para poder probar en tiempo real las funciones que estoy programando.
Cons: No hay algo que pueda decir, para mi el software esta perfecto.
Roger R. · Innovation Specialist · Internet · September 14, 2022
It is very good experience as it is only option to develop the mobile application for IOS. Sometimes I face the challenge related to the developer certificate and provisioning file but rest it is good. Good tool to develop mobile applications.
Pros: 1. Best tool for mobile and web application development. 2. Setting application metadata like media is very easy. 3. Code, test, deploy at one place only. 4. Setting up an team and developer certificate easily. 5. Build time is very fast. 6. Deployment feature is really intelligent as it will assist you till the app is getting deployed on the app store.
Cons: 1. Profile and developer certificate maintenance is one of the great challenge while deploying the application on the app store but once it is setup it is very easy to deploy. 2. Initial setup is requires some extra efforts. 3. It consumes a lot of memory and CPU and requires to wait sometime.

The overall experience was great , used it build and publish iOS apps.
Pros: 1.Ui is nice and clean 2. Easy to edit code 3. Add require details to publish iOS apps easily 4. regular app updates
Cons: 1. It is only available in macOS 2. So Heavy software need free space and ram to operate 3. For updating the software need 40gb free space
Anonymous User · Principal Software Development Engineer · Computer Software · June 13, 2022
Pros: I've been an iOS developer for 10 years and I can tell Apple has done a great job. The management of the devices on which to debug is excellent, and the creation of the builds for the deployment on the store is equally excellent.
Cons: sometimes there is some slowdown when viewing complex storyboards, but completely manageable.
Giuseppe N. · Software engineer manager · Information Technology and Services · April 27, 2022
Pros: XCode is packed with development features for iPhones and iPads. Ranging from the best code auto-completion tools in the industry (in my opinion) to its very accurate and fast simulators it is simply the best place to start with native iOS app development.
Cons: Theres constantly bugs in the software - particularly around a major release. These bugs tend to be removed or fade over the next year before a whole new set of bugs get introduced again. Some confounding bugs recently were released in XCode 13.2 in which the Mac App store version of the app didn't work and required a fresh install. Quality control isn't always there.
Tim B. · Senior iOS Developer · Financial Services · April 6, 2022
Developed 20 applications, using Xcode.
Pros: Ease of use, Speed, Performance. Graphical UI of designs, Auto correcting, Syntax support, Packages, Plugins
Cons: Keep crashing, consumes more memory, a lot of memory in the cache, derived data consumes whole mac space
Anonymous User · CTO · Computer Software · February 3, 2022
Pros: It's easy to use and modifying storyboards makes designing easier.
Cons: It takes a lot of space. Even when I have a lot of memory on my laptop - the simulator just takes a lot of time to load + the app in itself is huge.
Anonymous User · System Integration Analyst · Financial Services · October 8, 2021
Pros: It is one of the best IDEs I have used so far. it makes writing and debugging code very easy. It formats your code for you so that it's easy to read. Certain tasks such as code signing can be automated which makes the developer's life easier.
Cons: It is not very beginner-friendly and sometimes it takes too much memory when running it.
Anonymous User · UI/Ux Designer · Computer Software · October 7, 2021
I've been using Xcode for a while (over 10 years). Xcode 12 adds a lot of features to existing features to include a lot of support for SwiftUI. Overall, it's a must-have tool for Apple Development.
Pros: The autocompletion feature is nice for Swift and Objective-C. Xcode 12 can be used to submit the app directly into the app store. Xcode 12 has a lot of great documentation since it has been the standard tool for iOS development for a while. The simulator can be used to simulate different devices with different Operating Systems.
Cons: Xcode provides a lot of advanced options in their User Interface, but a lot of options can be overwhelming. Storyboard merges can be nearly impossible to resolve. Sometimes, an error message can be difficult to debug. Frequent updates. Requires 40GB of free space to update on the latest versions.
Phanit P. · iOS Developer · Financial Services · September 8, 2021
Pros: Full features tool, great user interface, integrated in MacOS, nice documentation.
Cons: Learning to develop in Xcode may be a little tricky for a novice developer.
