Xcode

Xcode offers all the tools you need to develop, test, and distribute apps for Apple platforms, including predictive code completion, advanced profiling and debugging tools, and simulators for Apple devices.

Downloading and updating Xcode

You can download the latest version of Xcode for free from the Mac App Store.

You can also download the latest Xcode beta, or previous versions of Xcode, from the downloads page by signing in with your Apple Account.

Providing feedback and reporting issues

Developer feedback is vital to making Xcode even better. You can access Feedback Assistant directly from Xcode, and use it to report issues you encounter or request enhancements to tools and services. You can also visit the Apple Developer Forums to ask questions and find answers from Apple engineers and other developers.
