Xcode is probably the best development platform available for Apple device users, but if you’re using a non-Apple device such as a Windows or Linux-based PC, then you’ll quickly discover that Apple hasn’t released a cross-platform port of Xcode or any means of developing on any system besides that of macOS.
Apple will reportedly use large language models from Anthropic to finally bring AI code writing, testing and debugging to Xcode, its development tool.
Developers who often find themselves away from their computer, and by extension, Xcode, could benefit from a mobile app development platform for jailbroken devices called SparkCode by iOS developer SparkleChan.
We’ve been following the Misaka project ever since it was just a MacDirtyCow exploit-based hack and add-on package manager, but since then, it has grown to support the Kernel File Descriptor (kfd) exploit, add support for installing TrollStore, and even more recently, add support for customizing the Apple TV.
Unless you’re a programmer, be it a software developer for Apple systems or some other platform, you might never have heard of a Build System before. But it’s time you have, because this could be big…
Hot on the heels of a report detailing a surge in malware being developed for macOS, a new one has been discovered that's specifically targeting developers.
Apple seeded the seventh beta of macOS 11 Big Sur earlier today, and, with it, the latest beta of Xcode 12.2 as well. The latter is already teasing a major update to iOS.
If you own an iPad Pro and have been hoping that Apple would bring its Logic Pro X, Final Cut Pro X, and Xcode apps to the powerful tablet, you may not have much longer to wait.
Xcode, Apple's integrated development environment for developing macOS, iOS, iPadOS, watchOS and tvOS software, may be coming to iPad with the upcoming iPadOS 14 update.
If you rely side-loadable jailbreak tools such as Chimera, Electra, or unc0ver, then it’s important to understand the plethora of ways you can install them on your iPhone or iPad. While methods such as AltStore, Cydia Impactor, and third-party signing services like Ignition and iOS Ninja are some of the most popular, many tend to forget that you can use Apple’s own Xcode development platform on the Mac to accomplish this task.
The Xcode method came in clutch for me countless times when Cydia Impactor stopped working for an extended period and when all the best signing services had been revoked; to make matters worse, my handset's iOS version was too old to run AltStore. With that in mind, we’ll be sharing the Xcode method in this tutorial for fellow jailbreakers that find themselves in similar predicaments down the road.
Saurik made a rare public appearance on Twitter Tuesday afternoon to discuss the future of Cydia Impactor and a particularly frustrating error that users have been experiencing since Apple pushed some of its latest software updates for Mac and iOS.
More specifically, Saurik talked about an error in which Cydia Impactor would tell users that they needed to upgrade to Xcode 7.3 when they were trying to side-load a pertinent jailbreak app, such as Chimera, Electra, or unc0ver. That message looked something like this:
When it was all said and done, Apple's latest event, "by innovation only" was pretty low-key, with no huge surprises in store for the audience or viewers watching from afar. But that doesn't mean there aren't still new and exciting products coming down the pipe.
