The services menu is useful for quick text manipulations, such as sorting a sequential list of text lines, which I use when sorting import statements to avoid conflicts. They also share the same keyboard shortcuts (such as Emacs navigation) and extensibility (such as quick access to the services menu and user-created text expansions). The editor in Xcode is based on a Cocoa text view that exists in most native apps, such as TextEdit and Pages. When navigating these tabs in VS Code if the last file is selected in an editor group and the next tab is selected via a keyboard shortcut, then the first file in the next editor group is opened. These editor panes are called editor groups, and up to three may be opened at once. Xcode groups not only multiple editors but also panes per project into each native tab, whereas non-native tabs in VS Code only group files open in an editor pane and not other panes. The first difference to note is that because VS Code is an Electron-based app and not a native app, it doesn’t always have all the features of a native app, such as native tabs and Cocoa text views. The first step in navigating VS Code is to read the docs of course, but most developers are familiar with the different features of IDEs and just need to know where they differ and where the features they care about are located.

Finally, VS Code also offers an integrated JavaScript debugger for Mac and iOS developers trying others means of creating apps, such as React Native.

VS Code can also be used to run these common Fastlane, pod install, and pod update tasks along with building and cleaning with its integrated task runner which is demonstrated in this ‘Tasks for Xcode’ sample project by Brennan Stehling. For example, iOS Common files is a VS Code extension that tells VS Code to interpret Podfiles as Ruby files every time.

Just like with Markdown, Xcode has a limited Ruby editor when compared to VS Code and its extensions.

XCODE VS VISUAL STUDIO FOR MAC INSTALL

Mac and iOS developers edit a Ruby file called a Podfile to specify which dependencies they would like to use and run pod install and pod update in the terminal to install and update these dependencies. Most Xcode users are familiar with the great Xcode project dependency manager CocoaPods. Xcode also has official support for extensions now, but they are very limited and typically used for snippets and refactoring. VS Code has all these features and more through downloadable extensions. For instance, it doesn’t allow opening links to relative files, syntax highlighting code blocks, and editing and previewing Markdown files in the same project. For example, even Apple ships their sample application projects with their README files formatted in Markdown.Įven though Xcode 9 ships with a built-in Markdown editor it is currently very limited. Typically project documentation, such as README files, are written in Markdown.

Xcode is great at editing, building, and debugging Swift and Objective-C projects, but it falls short at some related development tasks, such as documentation and dependency management tasks.
