WHAT IS XCODE?
Xcode is an integrated development environment for macOS containing a suite of software development tools developed by Apple for developing software for macOS, iOS, watchOS and tvOS. This is the only software required for development for Apple applications. In this full iOS Development Course you will be using this software only. XCODE is your weapon from now. XCode not only supports Swift, but support other programming languages like C, C++, Objective-C, Objective-C++, Java, AppleScript, Python, Ruby, ResEdit and many others too.
HOW MUCH DOES XCODE COST?
As an Apple Developer you wont come to hear this word much but yes Xcode is FREE. So for now you can continue learning without spending a penny. But yes after learning the basics if you want to upload your app to appstore, you would need a developer account which would cost you $99. We will discuss about it later. For now, you can continue without it.
HOW TO INSTALL XCODE?
Here are the steps you need to follow to install Xcode in your MAC :-
- Check your MAC version .Go to the Apple icon in the top left of your screen and Cick -> About this MAC. You can now see your MAC version. Xcode 8 has a minimum system requirement of OS X 10.11.5 or above (El Capitan) or ideally you should be running macOS Sierra (10.12). If you are still running an earlier OS then you need to update your OS now.
2. Open Appstore on your MAC.
3. Search for XCODE.
4. Click on the GET button below Xcode and wait for it to install. Approx size is around 4.8GB so it may take time if you are still using 2G (Not me of course)
5. After the installation is finished, click on the XCODE icon in applications and launch it.
6. Boom! You are ready to rock.
Now you have successfully installed Xcode on your MAC and all set for starting Swift. So lets move to the next chapter. See you there
