Stanislav Dombrovsky

New AppCode 2017.1 EAP (build 171.2822.6) is available for download on our confluence page and, as usual, we highlight the most important changes in this post. If you are using previous 2017.1 EAP build, the patch update is also available.

Swift

• SE-0116: Import Objective-C id as Swift Any type (OC-14135)
• Metatypes are now supported (OC-14366)
• dynamic, lazy, postfix, prefix and indirect keywords are added to the completion list (OC-14511)
• Better type inference for Swift type elements in expressions (OC-14519)
• Support for //MARK:, //TODO: and //FIXME: comments in File Structure tool window (⌘7) and popup (⌘F12) (OC-12603)
• Completion for Any.Protocol in type annotation (OC-14827)
• New Live Templates for logging (such as log, logv etc) added (OC-13825)

Objective-C and mixed code

• Correct resolution for nullability audited regions (OC-13932)
• Better translation of Objective-C nullability attributes into Swift (OC-11980)

In addition this build fixes an annoying issue with high CPU usage when no action is performed in AppCode. We encourage everyone who experienced similar issues before to try this build and share feedback with us.
