The development tools

1. Programming tools

• Xcode download: Apple Application Integration Development Environment. Support C/C++, Objective C, Swift, etc. No need to buy a developer plan, just download it.
• Textmate: A highly customizable editor for Mac OS X, especially when I want to make a quick change but don’t want to wait for Xcode to load. The tool is now open source
• Mou: A Markdown editor for OS X. Great for readme files, change logs, and more. Author: Luo Chen
• Sublime Text ($) : Another popular lightweight, highly customizable editor for Mac OS X.
• RunSwift: Students who are hesitant to get their hands on a MAC and start their Swift programming journey, or who just want to experiment with a simple Swift code but can’t be bothered to open Xcode, can try RunSwift, the Web-based Swift compilation environment.
• Infinitapps-bezel: “Xcode 6’s Watch simulator isn’t intuitive enough? Bezel is a visual preview of WatchKit’s programs if you have xScope (Mac) or xScope mirror (iPhone) installed. By @Watchkit”

• SwiftStub: Another Swift online practice site.

2. Code management

3. The Xcode plug-in

• The CocoaPods Xcode Plugin is an Xcode Plugin that allows you to manage CocoaPod dependencies directly from Xcode.
• Onevcat /VVDocumenter-Xcode: Shortcut notes Xcode plug-in. By @onevcat
• ColorSense: a plug-in that displays color values and automatically generates color codes directly from the system’s ColorPicker

• CodeEagle/SwiftCodeSnippets: download the specified Xcode Snippet source of Xcode Plugin. The default source of the Snippet of code burczyk project/XcodeSwiftSnippets.
• Realm /SwiftLint: Realm uses a checking tool written by Swift based on GitHub’s Swift Style Guide rules. In addition to the command line runtime, it also provides a way to integrate Xcode. For new teams, such tools can automatically constrain everyone to follow programming specifications.
• How and how to fix plug-in failure after XCode upgrade: An analysis article triggered by a command. @_TongJZ
• Fektur /CoPilot: Xcode can be co-programmed (as WebSocket communication) through this plug-in. Such a powerful “black tool”, do not love it can go. Demo video
• Carthage: A new decentralized dependency manager that aims to manage Cocoa third-party frameworks in the simplest way possible. The advantages are obvious, but there are also disadvantages. Let’s see what happens next.
