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. > > 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. ----- ### "Best platform for developing mobile apps" — 5.0/5 > **Chris** | *18 May 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Powerful platform with an intuitive UI. > > **Cons**: Occasional technical issues with compiling. ----- ### "Great update" — 5.0/5 > **Giuseppe** | *27 April 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. ----- ### "Best all in one programming tool" — 5.0/5 > **Md. Tohedul** | *27 April 2021* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the most about this software: ease of use and all-in-one tool feature. So I can do all programming-related work in my Xcode 12. So I don't have to use multiple tools to complete my tasks like app development, software development, and other stuff. Also, like the auto-suggestion tooltips feature. I like to use this software to develop enterprise applications, android, and ios apps and games. > > **Cons**: If I have to build an ios app or game then I must have to use Xcode, I don't like this thing. It shouldn't be bound. > > I like the debugging and inspection feature. It's the all-in-one complete app, game, and software development software for me. It's recommended for ios apps and games also recommended for any other software development. ----- ### "Heavy tool which can lead to your system hang" — 3.0/5 > **Hiren** | *25 September 2020* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Xcode is good to develop iOS apps. New Xcode features Swift UI is much easier to use for creating UI for iOS apps. The code completion suggestion is very powerful > > **Cons**: when you start opening multiple tabs, it will hit your computer memory very hard and you will face system crash or hang several times. > > Overall it's good tool and updated feature compare to previous XCode. The only conern is the tool size and the memory it takes to run. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/207197/xcode-12?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/207197/xcode-12) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | it | | ----- ## Structured Data
