Now that the project is created, we can run the default application generated by AppCode to see what it does. On the next screen, we choose a product name and Swift as the Language for the project. Note: we choose iOS Application and Single View Application. Selecting “File”, then “New Project” brings up the following dialog. The first thing we need to do is create our project in AppCode.

In this post, we will demonstrate how to create a Swift project in JetBrains’ AppCode, eliminate the Main.storyboard, and generate a view with a button that is centered on the screen horizontally. In doing so, you may dynamically layout your screen based upon screen dimensions and business logic that dictates elements be hidden or shown. The alternative is to instantiate the UI element classes and to configure the elements’ properties in code. There’s no requirement that you use Storyboards at all. There are point and click features for connecting events to methods in your classes, though you will be switching between source code for your classes and the WYSIWYG editor to do so. This editor allows you to design the user interface for your app with a drag and drop WYSIWYG view and form based entry to configure the properties of the user interface elements. For the most part you can do your work in AppCode. You still need to use Xcode for things like adding images to xcassets, and working with Storyboards. You get the added bonus of JetBrains’ HTML, JavaScript, and CSS editors. JetBrains’ AppCode brings all of their excellent IDE functionality to building Objective-C and Swift applications. The interface for setting the various options for building and linking your program can be overwhelming. The editor has its own idiosyncrasies, like hitting the tab key with a range of lines selected replaces the lines with a tab character instead of the expected behavior of indenting the lines.

If you’ve ever set up a continuous integration system, you’re familiar with the command line tools.Īpple’s Xcode is a full featured IDE for developing C, C++, Objective-C, and Swift applications. You can use a traditional text editor (like vim or emacs) to edit your source and use the command line compilers to compile and build your application. There are at least three ways to develop GUI applications for iOS and OSX. Swift has a much easier syntax to learn than Objective-C, and is more secure and less prone to latent bugs like stack overflow errors. Apple announced Swift at WWDC a year ago and Swift 2.0 at this year’s WWDC.

For years, the only language for developing UI applications for OSX and iOS was Objective-C and the only IDE was Apple’s Xcode.
