#Install xcode for mac

[attibar]

You know what's worse than software by Apple?

Having to develop the code for iOS apps using said software.

It was supposed to be simple: port my work's native Android app onto iOS like we do for many of our apps. This one in particular delt with combining videos and overlaying chosen music over it. Our lead iOS developer had left and found a different job several months back, in retrospect that should've been a warning.

I'm the main Android app developer at our work and got assigned to get better at iOS development for this. But Apple, my fucking god Apple. It's not even a matter of different coding language, this is 100% an abusive relationship.

In the past two weeks Apple's own coding software, xCode, has suddenly crashed on me more times than I can count. Like one second it works and a split second later it just closes and I lose my progress.

When it came to video mixing Android had spoiled me. If I wanted to add a still image between videos it'd only take five lines. And iOS? It doesn't have that functionality at all. I have to take a still fucking image, save it as a video, and then use it. Absolutely wasteful.

I needed a place to save the created videos and there's a directory available called NSMovieDirectory or some shit. Sweet, that's a perfect place to save the videos to! Right?

Turns out although the NSMovieDirectory is in there, you can call it, it's not implemented for iOS devices, only Macs. A fucking variable you can call in iOS development doesn't even work for iOS devices. This is not a one off experience I've seen this happen with methods and variables multiple times.

Out of the blue xCode suddenly decided to stop auto predicting as I typed. This also included no longer showing any typos or other errors.

For whatever god forsaken reason if xCode detects several physical devices that it can run debug on, it will always pick a wireless device and NEVER the device you have literally plugged into your computer! The number of times I've started a debug build and waited for the app to start only to realize it's running on some unknown device elsewhere in the office is too damn high.

I felt my computer slowly dying installing all the needed files to run xCode. Forty. Fucking. Gigabytes. That's what's needed to merely use the damn thing. If you don't have physical devices and have to use simulators that gets even higher.

Designing UI layouts while dealing with different screen sizes and orientation changes is a whole circle of hell. I'd go into further detail why but that would make this post several pages long. Just know that it is far more convoluted and buggy than it has any right to.

TLDR: If you're using an iOS app and wonder why it's buggy, more than likely it's because the developers were being dragged into programming hell by Apple.

TLDR2: For the love of all that is holy and good in this world don't be like my workplace: use something to make iOS apps that isn't native iOS.

WWDC 2025 Thoughts

Liquid Glass: Shiny things always look great at the store, and this looks like it was designed to look sexy at the Apple Store. It's an obvious artifact of the Alan Dye UI design factory, with an obsession for how things look (in UI mockups) rather than how they work (in the real world).

A small positive of this design change is that buttons, toolbars and other clickable elements are more prominent than in the flat and border-less iOS 7 design language.

The superfluous animations and reflective glass effects seem ok, even if they’re slightly overdone at first glance. I’m more concerned about recent Apple’s tendency to make animations too slow, such that users have to sit through them, which is especially bad with commonly performed actions. Also, wouldn’t this consume too much resources and battery?

What’s terrible is the legibility. It really needs to be looked at and the opacity dialed back a few notches, especially for the whiter near-translucent elements, Control Center and notifications. Or at least give us a slider to control this aspect.

We’re already at a low bar when it comes to the HIG, so I don’t think Tim Apple has the capacity to fix this significantly before release. What I fear about this design change is that Apple customers would be shoved into at least a decade of low key illegibility and unproductiveness, with content behind bleeding through UI elements and affecting how quickly they can grok the interface.

After some time, users would be desensitized to its terrible-ness. Once this gets out, it would be nice to see objective studies that measure task completion rates across a broad demographic.

Finder: Nice feature updates, but for the love of god don’t mess with the Finder icon, which is literally iconic. The dark blue side of the smiley should be on the left. Fix it!

Spotlight: Finally given some attention. Nice to see new features, the App Library integrated, and wow, a clipboard manager! However, the caveat with this feature has always been that it has been a buggy and flaky mess (suddenly stops working, prolonged reindexing), so it remains to be seen how well this whole thing works in the real world, especially after Apple shoved more stuff in it.

System Settings: Still an unfixed train wreck since macOS Ventura in 2022. My condolences to Xcode, which got hit with the ugly stick too.

iPadOS Multitasking: This got tons of “finally”. Just adopt what’s great about the Mac, duh! But still, it took way too many years of multitasking stagnation, hand-wringing and media shaming to get here.

How well this works remains to be seen in actual use. At first glance, it does seem less restrictive than Stage Manager with freeform window sizing and positioning. An actual mouse pointer instead of a stupid round nubbin. Permitting background processing of long running tasks. I sure hope Apple did not forget to remove the single-tasking relic of allowing only a single app to play audio or video.

Came across some people who installed the first build mention that Stage Manager is also available on all iPads, not only recent iPad Pros. So much for Federighi pretending back in 2022 that this feature required a M1 and 8GB RAM, when it was merely Apple’s greed calling the shots, especially when this new multitasking can handle tons of windows open at the same time on all iPads that support iPadOS 26.

iOS Camera: Nice to see the camera app get a clean and more straightforward redesign, after years of new iPhone camera functionality cluttering up the UI. This is one area that lacks fundamental UI design thinking, so expect this to get copied by Android manufacturers pronto. Oh, and the app icon looks kinda… skeuomorphic?

Stability: Given the huge redesign across all platforms and early feedback, expect a shit show on the stability front, with rendering glitches taken up another notch, as if the current notch isn’t bad enough. Remember the iOS 7 glitches? Apple’s track record is not great.

Continuity: A little disappointed that there’s no big splash here to further tighten the ecosystem lock-in. Given the buzz about iPadOS 26 turning iPads into "real computers", it would be nice to see the iPhone-to-Mac Continuity features (mirroring, notifications, widgets) appear on iPad.

AirPods: These products are some of the best executed ones in the Cook era, and after featuring them prominently in the WWDC 2023 (Adaptive Audio) and WWDC 2024 (Voice Isolation, gestures) keynotes, it was disappointing that this was left out.

What to Do If You Can’t Find Your UDID on Your iPhone 

The Unique Device Identifier (UDID) is a crucial component for developers and those who need to manage apps or configurations on their iPhones. It acts as a distinctive identifier for your device, allowing developers to test and manage apps or even register for certain services. However, if you're having trouble finding your UDID on your iPhone, you're not alone. Many users often find themselves asking, “How to find your iPhone UDID?” especially when they need it for app development or troubleshooting. In this blog, we’ll walk you through several methods to retrieve your UDID, as well as discuss why it's important and what to do if you can’t find it. 

Why Do You Need Your UDID? 

The UDID is essential for a variety of reasons. For developers, it’s crucial for testing and deploying apps that aren’t yet available in the App Store. This is especially true for those using services like TestFlight, where you need to register your device's UDID to get access to beta versions of apps. Additionally, if you're setting up a device for enterprise management, your UDID may be required to install specific profiles or configurations. 

Even if you're not a developer, you might need your UDID for support purposes, or if you're dealing with a technical issue that requires you to share this identifier with Apple Support. Therefore, knowing how to locate your UDID can be incredibly useful. 

Common Ways to Find Your iPhone UDID 

If you’re wondering “How to find your iPhone UDID?” here are some straightforward methods you can use. 

1. Using iTunes (or Finder on macOS Catalina and later) 

One of the easiest ways to find your UDID is by using iTunes (or Finder for macOS Catalina and later versions). Follow these steps: 

Connect your iPhone to your computer using a USB cable. 

Open iTunes (or Finder on macOS Catalina or newer). 

Click on the device icon when it appears in iTunes/Finder. 

Under the Summary tab, you should see information about your iPhone. 

Click on the Serial Number to toggle between various identifiers (e.g., IMEI, ICCID, UDID). Your UDID will now be displayed. 

Right-click on the UDID to copy it. 

This is the most direct and reliable method to find your UDID. 

2. Using Xcode (for Developers) 

If you’re a developer, you may also find your UDID through Xcode, which is Apple’s integrated development environment (IDE). Here’s how to do it: 

Install Xcode from the Mac App Store if you haven’t already. 

Open Xcode and connect your iPhone to the computer. 

Go to the Devices and Simulators window (accessible from the Window menu). 

Select your device from the list. 

Your UDID will appear on the right side of the screen, and you can easily copy it. 

This method is particularly useful for developers who need to manage multiple devices and are already familiar with the Xcode environment. 

3. Using Third-Party Websites 

If you prefer an alternative method or don't have access to iTunes or Xcode, there are third-party websites that can retrieve your UDID for you. Here’s how: 

Visit a trusted site that allows you to get your UDID (such as get.udid.io). 

Follow the on-screen instructions, which typically require you to install a configuration profile on your iPhone. 

Once the profile is installed, visit the site again on your iPhone, and it will display your UDID. 

While this method can be convenient, be sure to use reputable websites to avoid any security risks. 

4. Using a Mobile Device Management (MDM) Profile 

If you’re managing multiple devices or configuring settings for an organization, you might already have an MDM profile installed on your iPhone. Many MDM solutions allow users to easily find their UDID as part of the configuration process. 

What If You Can't Find Your UDID? 

If you’ve tried the methods above and still can’t locate your UDID, there are a few steps you can take. 

1. Check for Connection Issues 

Sometimes, the issue may be related to your iPhone’s connection to your computer. Ensure that your iPhone is properly connected via USB and that your computer is recognizing the device. If you're using Finder on macOS Catalina or later, check that Finder is showing your iPhone in the left sidebar. If your device is not recognized, try restarting your iPhone or using a different USB port or cable. 

2. Ensure Software is Updated 

If you’re using older versions of iTunes or macOS, it might be causing issues in finding your UDID. Make sure that both your iPhone and your computer are running the latest software updates. For instance, macOS Catalina and later versions no longer use iTunes; they use Finder to manage iPhones, and keeping your system up to date will ensure smoother operation. 

3. Contact Apple Support 

If all else fails, you can always reach out to Apple Support. They can guide you through the process of retrieving your UDID or assist you with any technical difficulties you may be encountering. 

Use a Mobile App Cost Calculator to Plan Your Development Budget 

If you are a developer and are managing multiple devices or building an app that requires UDID registration, it's essential to plan for the costs associated with iOS development. The use of a mobile app cost calculator can be incredibly helpful. This tool allows you to estimate the cost of building, testing, and maintaining your app based on its features, design, and scope. By using a mobile app cost calculator, you can ensure your project stays within budget while also factoring in the costs of device management and UDID registration.

ChatGPT for Mac Can Now Work with Apps on Your Desktop

Enhance your coding workflow with ChatGPT's new feature, integrating directly with Xcode, VS Code, and more.

The ChatGPT desktop app for Mac has introduced a new integration feature aimed at enhancing developer productivity by providing direct access to content from popular coding environments such as Xcode, VS Code, and TextEdit. This integration enables ChatGPT to read and utilize context from open files, thereby improving responses with pertinent coding information.

How It Works

Developers can enable this feature by clicking on “Work With Apps” in the ChatGPT chat bar and selecting a compatible coding application. A banner will show when an app is connected, indicating the types of content that are accessible. For text editors, ChatGPT incorporates the content from the open pane or selected text, while for terminal applications like Terminal and iTerm, it captures the last 200 lines of activity. All accessed information is recorded in the chat history, which users can manage and delete as necessary.

Configuration and Compatibility

Users can configure this feature under Settings > Work with Apps, allowing them to manage compatible applications and set up the integration. Some applications may require additional steps, such as installing extensions for VS Code.

Privacy and Control

For those concerned about data privacy, users have the option to disable the feature completely. OpenAI highlights the importance of data control: users can prevent their interactions from being used to train the model by adjusting specific settings. The temporary Chat mode ensures that conversations are not saved. OpenAI also assures that enterprise data remains secure and isolated, with no involvement in model training.

This integration represents a significant advancement toward a more seamless, context-aware experience for Mac developers utilizing ChatGPT in their coding tasks.

Businesses and developers are constantly seeking efficient ways to reach a broader audience without duplicating efforts for multiple operating systems. Enter Swift and Kotlin, two powerful programming languages that, when combined, can streamline the process of building cross-platform apps. In this blog post, we'll explore how Swift and Kotlin can be used together to create high-performance, cross-platform applications.

Why Choose Swift and Kotlin?

Before diving into the technicalities, let's understand why Swift and Kotlin are the go-to choices for cross-platform app development.

Swift: Developed by Apple, Swift is a powerful and intuitive programming language designed for iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS. It offers a robust set of features and is known for its performance and safety.

Kotlin: Created by JetBrains, Kotlin is a modern language that runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and can be used for Android development. Kotlin is concise, expressive, and interoperable with Java, making it a favorite among Android developers.

Both languages have gained immense popularity in their respective domains, and their capabilities make them ideal for cross-platform development.

Cross-Platform Development Approaches

There are several approaches to cross-platform development, each with its own set of advantages and trade-offs. Here are the main ones:

Native Development: Writing separate codebases for iOS (Swift) and Android (Kotlin). This approach ensures the best performance and user experience but requires maintaining two codebases.

Cross-Platform Frameworks: Using frameworks like Flutter, React Native, or Xamarin to write a single codebase that runs on both iOS and Android. While this saves time and effort, it may not fully leverage the native capabilities of each platform.

Kotlin Multiplatform: This approach allows you to write shared code in Kotlin for logic and business rules, while the platform-specific code is written in Swift for iOS and Kotlin for Android. This balances code reuse with native performance and experience.

Setting Up Your Development Environment

To get started with Swift and Kotlin for cross-platform development, you need to set up your development environment.

Swift Setup:

Install Xcode from the Mac App Store.

Create a new Xcode project and select the appropriate template for your app.

Kotlin Setup:

Install Android Studio from the official website.

Create a new Android project and configure it to use Kotlin.

Kotlin Multiplatform Setup:

Install the Kotlin Multiplatform plugin in Android Studio.

Create a new Kotlin Multiplatform project and configure the shared code module.

Writing Shared Code

With Kotlin Multiplatform, you can write shared code that can be used by both iOS and Android apps. This includes business logic, data models, and networking code.

Creating Shared Modules:

In your Kotlin Multiplatform project, create a shared module where you'll write your shared code.

Use Kotlin to write business logic and other shared functionalities.

Using Shared Code in Swift:

In your Xcode project, add a dependency on the shared module.

Use the shared code written in Kotlin within your Swift codebase.

Example: Networking Code

Let's look at an example of how you can write shared networking code in Kotlin and use it in both Swift and Kotlin.

Shared Networking Code in Kotlin:kotlinCopy codeimport io.ktor.client.HttpClient import io.ktor.client.request.get class ApiService { private val client = HttpClient() suspend fun fetchData(url: String): String { return client.get(url) } }

Using Shared Code in Swift:swiftCopy codeimport shared class DataFetcher { let apiService = ApiService() func fetchData(url: String, completion: @escaping (String) -> Void) { apiService.fetchData(url: url) { data, error in if let data = data { completion(data) } else if let error = error { print("Error fetching data: \(error)") } } } }

Conclusion

Building cross-platform apps with Swift and Kotlin offers a powerful combination of performance, efficiency, and code reuse. By leveraging the strengths of both languages and using Kotlin Multiplatform, developers can create high-quality applications that provide a native experience on both iOS and Android. As the mobile landscape continues to evolve, mastering these tools and techniques will be essential for staying ahead in the world of app development.

Embrace the power of Swift and Kotlin and start building cross-platform apps that deliver the best of both worlds!

There are many online resources like Apple's official Swift documentation, tutorials on YouTube, or even free coding boot camps to help you learn how to develop your iPhone app. 

Step 4: Build the App's User Interface (UI) 

Once you’re familiar with Swift and the iOS development concepts, it’s time to start building your app’s user interface. iOS apps follow the Human Interface Guidelines set by Apple, which ensures your app is intuitive and user-friendly. 

In Xcode, you can use Interface Builder, a drag-and-drop tool, to lay out your app’s UI. Create buttons, labels, and other elements and arrange them on the screen. You can also customize the look and feel of each component, including colors, fonts, and animations. Make sure that the design of your app is responsive, meaning it should adapt to different screen sizes like those of iPhones and iPads. 

For a more complex app, you might want to hire a designer to help with the aesthetics. A well-designed app will not only look great but will also improve user engagement and retention. Keep your app’s interface simple, elegant, and easy to navigate to create a seamless user experience. 

Step 5: Write the Code for App Functionality 

At this stage, you’ll begin implementing the actual functionality of your app by writing Swift code. This includes defining what happens when a user clicks a button, how data is stored, and how the app interacts with external services like APIs. Depending on the complexity of your app, this part of the development process can take some time. 

Start by focusing on smaller features first, and test them individually before integrating them into the app. Remember to test your app regularly to catch bugs early and ensure everything works as intended. Xcode includes built-in simulators for testing, so you can see how your app behaves on various iPhone models without needing the physical devices. 

Step 6: Test Your App 

Testing is one of the most critical phases of app development. Even after writing the code, you need to ensure that your app is bug-free, functional, and works across different devices and iOS versions. 

Use Xcode's testing tools to run your app on an iPhone simulator. You should also test your app on a real iPhone to identify any issues related to performance, touch gestures, and real-world usage scenarios. You can invite users to participate in beta testing using TestFlight, a platform provided by Apple to distribute pre-release versions of your app to testers. 

Step 7: Optimize and Debug 

Once your app is functional, it’s time to optimize it for performance. This includes making sure it loads quickly, responds smoothly to user interactions, and doesn’t drain battery life unnecessarily. You’ll want to monitor the app’s performance using Xcode’s profiler to track memory usage, CPU usage, and network activity. 

At this stage, debugging is essential. Test the app under various conditions to see how it behaves and fix any bugs you encounter. Even small issues, such as crashes or slow performance, can affect the user experience and lead to bad reviews.

Step 8: Submit to the App Store 

After successfully developing and testing your app, it’s time to submit it to the App Store. To do this, you’ll need an Apple Developer account, which costs $99 per year. Once your account is set up, use Xcode to submit your app for review. Make sure to follow Apple’s guidelines for submitting apps, including providing accurate descriptions, keywords, and screenshots. 

Apple’s review process can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks. If your app meets all of Apple’s guidelines, it will be published on the App Store, ready for download by millions of users around the world. 

Step 9: Market Your App 

Once your app is live, the next step is to market it. Use social media, blogs, and email newsletters to spread the word. You can also use paid ads or collaborate with influencers to reach a larger audience. 

App Store optimization (ASO) is also important for getting your app noticed in the App Store. Optimize your app's title, keywords, and description to ensure it ranks high for relevant search queries. 

Step 10: Maintain and Update 

Building an app doesn't stop after it’s been launched. You’ll need to maintain and update your app regularly to fix bugs, add new features, and ensure compatibility with future iOS versions. Pay attention to user feedback and make updates based on their suggestions to improve your app and keep users engaged.    Considering expanding your app to iPad? Explore our expertise in iPad app development for a seamless experience across all devices. 

Conclusion 

Building your first iPhone app is an exciting journey that requires patience, learning, and attention to detail. By following these step-by-step guidelines, you can turn your app idea into a fully functional product that’s ready for launch. Remember that, depending on the complexity of your app, the development process can be time-consuming and costly, so it’s always wise to use tools like a mobile app cost calculator to estimate the budget.
