Hi everyone,
It’s time to share our plans for AppCode 2020.1, which haven’t changed much since 2019.3. We will continue to focus primarily on enhancing performance and Swift support:
- Swift 5.1 & 5.2
- Performance:
- Make code highlighting, completion, and navigation faster for mixed and pure Swift projects.
- Improve caching speed, including the “Processing Swift Modules” and “Building Module Maps” cache phases.
- Eliminate as many freezes as possible.
If you have any questions, please ask them in the comments below.

This is great. 2019.3 is so much better than 2019.2, and I look forward to further performance enhancements. Yay!
Hi, do you have plan for these requests?

No, these two issues are not on our roadmap at the moment.
It’s a pity to hear that, as it’s a pain in the ass to work with assets inside AppCode.
Support for Swift Package Manager would be a great advance too.
And what about support for frameworks like Vapor?
I’m using it too well.
Thank you.
Thank you for sharing the roadmap.
I am looking forward to AppCode 2020.1.!
Will AppCode 2020.1 support SPM?
https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/OC-19012
We’re looking into SPM support, but it’s too early to tell, whether it’s going to be ready by 2020.1.
I would love to see SPM support as soon as possible. Some of our internal frameworks are packaged as a Swift Package. It works really nice in Xcode 11, but unfortunately AppCode does not handle these projects very well. AppCode is great, but we have to shelve AppCode until SPM arrives.
We’ll do our best to support SPM as soon as we can. In the meantime, you could try a workaround: generate Xcode project from SPM, and then add it as a subproject to your main project.
I am very happy that there will be more focus on performance issues.
2019 I was unable to use AppCode because of that. I hope 2020 is a bright year for AppCode.
I would love to see more refactorings.
Great news. I still have to double-drive XCode and AppCode, looking forward to the day where XCode is a distant memory
