What differentiates Xcode from other similar products?

Xcode is required to produce programs and utilities for the Apple ecosystem. However, there are no significant features that distinguish Xcode from other IDEs. The UI and UX experience is something I really enjoy. When compared to other tools and IDEs available, it is simple to use.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Simulators and other gadget alternatives are among my favorites. Xcode has all of the compatible devices and operating systems. The second point is that, as previously said, the UI and UX experience is superior to that of any other IDE.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Simulator disappears from time to time, and resolving this problem is a nightmare. When dealing with third-party libraries, I continually get errors, and the only way to repair them is to restart Xcode and clean the generated data. Also, derived data is accumulating too quickly, so I'm continually deleting it manually to save space.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you have an older Macbook with limited storage and RAM, upgrade to a newer model with additional storage and RAM. It will make your development process more consistent and straightforward. With the M1 chip, Xcode is now more stable and speedier.
