- 1. What Prompts Swift App Developers to Go with Xcode 7.3.1
- 2. Language Support Xcode supports source code for key programming languages, viz., C, C++, Objective-C, Objective-C++, Java, AppleScript, Python, Ruby, etc.
- 3. Error Handling Detect and fix errors, such as “file-not-found”, “network timeouts”, and many more.
- 4. Availability Provides compile time checking and prevents unavailable methods from being used.
- 5. Testability Writing tests of Swift 2.0 frameworks and apps for a Swift app developer has become easier. There is no obligation to make internal routines public.
- 6. Protocol Extensions Add methods and properties to any class that conforms to a particular protocol, allowing an iOS developer to reuse more of his/her code.
- 7. App Thinning A single build for:
- 8. Debugging Advanced debugging and profiling features to favor development of quality apps to drive user engagement.
- 9. Address sanitizer Xcode 7 can build an app with instrumentation designed to catch and debug memory corruption using the address sanitizer.
- 10. On-Device Deployment A build can be executed on any physical iPhones, iPads, and iPods, Apple Watch, Apple TV, etc.
- 11. Playgrounds Playgrounds has become more powerful. It supports comments, inclusion of embedded images, known as markup.
