Companion app
xcodes app - multiple xcode app setup
Xcode 15
IDE improvements
Vision OS simulator added
Side Rant
Consumes too much memory. Need 64GB and M3Max / Ultra chips for smooth sailing since rendering 3D elements needs beefy cpu and lot of VRAM. Look at that SWAP memory usage of 22Gigs and Page Ins of 50MB/s.
Auto completion - refined and faster inits
Modular Installs
ABI Application Binary Interface (Swift 5) but slightly related towards adding more independent modules to be installed or managed and not packaged all together. Bundled. (Saves lot of bandwidth) and storage space on resource limited devices. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/Xcode/installing-additional-simulator-runtimes
Package Manager / Dependency improvements
Code Signing section added in inspector
Cant demo this since I don’t know if there’s any .xcFramework
in our project dependency as an explicit marked via SPM. Maybe Project_Name
app I can show it but first I would need the project to be locally build on my machine in order to reach to a conclusion.
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/Xcode/verifying-the-origin-of-your-xcframeworks
So SPM 2-way binding cache and comparing checksums also gets transferred over to XCFrameworks. (More secure and more explicit) warnings / dialogs would be presented in Xcode 15 if the code signature don’t match or change or removed
Xcode Logging/debug improvements
- Show demo of Logging library
Preview improvements
UIKit preview now works like SwiftUI - no need for UIHostingController to wrap the UIKit into SwiftUI then to make it preview-able.
