AppCode 1.5: Feel the Freedom and Power of Refactoring!

Eugene Toporov

Please welcome — AppCode 1.5 is officially released!

If you read the AppCode 1.5 What’s New page and check the release notes you’ll see that we’ve improved literally every part of the IDE and have upgraded some of them to a new level.

Here are some changes that make us especially proud:

• Almost three times as many refactorings. We’ve added extract parameter, extract instance variable, etc. You can inline anything and do things like convert local variable to ivar/property/parameter in the blink of an eye.
• The debugger got a number of great improvements, e.g. code completion in the debugger console, exception breakpoints, viewing the contents of STL container objects, etc.
• We’ve improved C++ coding with auto-import and a better code completion.
• New views: ‘Hierarchy’ to explore imports hierarchy and ‘Call Hierarchy’ to examine your code execution flow.
• Better Xcode interoperability is ensured: Xcode Schemes are auto synced with run configuration, added ability to manage targets in AppCode and Xcode 4.4 is supported.
• We’ve sped up project indexing and reload after external changes.
• And we’ve further updated the IDE UI.

Note, that if you own an AppCode 1.0 license, 1.5 is a FREE update for you, according to our 1 year of free updates licensing policy.

Develop with pleasure!
