Hi everyone, AppCode 2020.2 release is just around the corner, and our first Beta build delivers an initial implementation of the Change Signature refactoring for Swift! Let’s take a closer look at it. When you need to change the signature of a method, the usual flow is to rename all the method parts separately, such as parameter names, internal parameter names, and the method name itself. This already makes for too many repeated Rename refactorings. But what if you need to also change the method return type, or the type for one of the method parameters? What if you need to also change the

Hi everyone, The new AppCode 2020.2 EAP build is available for download on our site. SourceKit completion In AppCode 2020.1 we’ve added code completion during indexing using SourceKit. In this EAP build we start using SourceKit results in the code completion even after the indexing phase is complete. We do this by merging them with AppCode’s completion results, so the code completion in Swift should become more accurate in general. Bug fixes The following issues are fixed in this build: SourceKit-related features weren’t supported for SPM projects (OC-20240) Problem with access con

Hi everyone, A new AppCode 2020.1 EAP build is available for download on our site. Completion During Indexing We made it possible to build, run, debug, and test projects during indexing in AppCode 2019.2. Our next step in this direction is code completion, and – what do you know – it’s already available in this build: The current implementation uses SourceKit to provide completion results and has several limitations linked to OC-19857 as related issues. We encourage you to try this feature and share your feedback in the comments. Swift Support The following language changes are

Hi everyone, Since our first post about the AppCode EAP, we’ve published several updates with bug fixes. Now it’s time to announce a build that brings you the first round of performance improvements! Download it from our site to find: Much faster code assistance for mixed projects, thanks to bridging symbols built and cached the first time a project opens. Initial caching may require more time, but after it’s finished, all code assistance actions (completion, navigation) should work much faster than before. Subsequent project openings should be much faster too. That the “Loading…”

Hi everyone, A new AppCode 2019.3 EAP build is available for download on our site. The highlights of this update include: “Processing Swift Modules” phase should work much faster compared to AppCode 2019.2 (with Xcode < 11.3 set in Preferences). “Building Module Maps” phase should work faster (Xcode 11.2.x). Faster opening for projects with Mac Catalyst enabled for test targets (OC-19275). Messages tool window: Errors and warnings are now expanded by default (OC-19059). Messages filter is back - now with the same options as in Xcode (OC-19261). New intentions for Swift: Mer

Hi everyone, A new AppCode 2019.3 EAP build is available for download on our site. The highlights of this update include: Unit tests support for Catalyst SDK (OC-19181, OC-19170) Formatting improvements: Keep simple property blocks with willSet/didSet in one line using Preferences | Editor | Code Style | Swift | Wrapping and Braces | Keep when reformatting | Methods and functions in one line Keep empty type declarations in one line using Preferences | Editor | Code Style | Swift | Wrapping and Braces | Keep when reformatting | Empty type declarations in one line For the full lis

Hi everyone, A new AppCode 2019.3 EAP build is available for download on our site. The highlights of this update include: Support for alternative Swift toolchains (OC-13008). If you set a specific Swift toolchain in Xcode (such as Swift for Tensorflow) selected in AppCode preferences, AppCode will correctly resolve entities for this toolchain, use it for building, running, testing, and debugging your project, and display its version in Preferences | Tools | Xcode. Note that initial caching may be slow during the first project opening in such a case. Performance improvements relate

Hi everyone, New AppCode 2019.3 EAP build is available for download on our site. Swift Support This build brings support for the following language features: SE-0258: Property wrappers SE-0244: Opaque result types Completion for SE-0252 (Key path member lookup) Highlighting for parameter attributes Intentions While we are working hard on performance improvements, several new Swift intentions are already here: Flip comparison: Flip binary expression: Invert if condition: For the full list of fixes please see the release notes.

Today we are starting the Early Access Program for AppCode 2019.3, and the first build is already available to download from our site. New Build Messages We dedicated a lot of time improving build messages in earlier releases, but our build output parser was still affected by some performance issues. In this release cycle, we’re getting the build output tree directly from Xcode toolchain and only render it in AppCode. For you, this means that: Build speed should be the same as in Xcode for regular and incremental builds. All the necessary information should be visible, including comp

Hi, AppCode 2019.2 Beta is here! This build brings simple highlighting and completion for 20+ languages that were not supported in AppCode, including Ruby and others: These features are provided via the TextMate plugin that is now bundled in AppCode: In addition, we’ve implemented support for CocoaPods’ use_modular_headers! option.
