Xcode v6.3.1 (Mac OSX) (April 26, 2015)



Xcode provides everything developers need to create great applications for Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Xcode brings user interface design, coding, testing, and debugging all into a unified workflow. The Xcode IDE combined with the Cocoa and Cocoa Touch frameworks, and the Swift programming language make developing apps easier and more fun than ever before.

Innovative tools help you create great apps
� Swift is a revolutionary new programming language that is safe, fast, and modern
� Playgrounds are a fun place to experiment with Swift code, displaying instant results
� Interface Builder is a graphical UI design canvas with a live preview of your app
� View debugging shows a 3D stack of all your app's UI view layers at runtime
� Assistant editors show content related to your primary task
� Live Issues display errors as you type, and Fix-it can correct the mistakes for you

Swift is an all new programming language for Cocoa and Cocoa Touch
� Safe by design, Swift syntax and features prevent entire categories of bugs
� Fast code execution and compile time are powered by the proven LLVM compiler
� Modern language features are inspired by leading research, including:
- Closures unified with function pointers
- Tuples and multiple return values
- Structs as value types that support methods, extensions, protocols
- Functional programming patterns including map and filter

Interface Builder makes it easy to design your interface without code
� Storyboards let you arrange the complete flow of screens within your app
� See your custom controls rendered live within the design canvas
� Preview your interface in different screen sizes, orientations, or languages
� Create connections from your GUI design directly to the related source code
