"Which is useful for the NEVER times you want to print out your source" 🤣
I'm about 2/3 into the 100 Days of Swift course and this is gold! First, because it will help me navigate and follow the projects quick and easily, and second, because I came here just curious, expecting not to understand most of it, but I do understand almost all of it, and that makes me feel like I really progressed in my understanding of iOS programming.
0:28 was just something I was bemoaning about classes yesterday! Thanks!
Great tips, the auto spelling and grammar is my favorite
Absolutely excellent Paul.
My favourites:
1. In storyboard, Hold the Option key and then select the Source code file which makes sure that assistant editor is opened with the right file to make your connections
2. To go back to the file list no matter where the navigator panel is currently - Command + 1
3. Shift + Command + K to clean the build folder. Apparently Shift + Option + Command + K is supposed to perform a deeper clean. No idea if this is fact or fiction.
4. Command + R to run, Command + B to build
5. Mulit-position editing. Select the first location then hold Shift + Control then select the other locations to edit. Massive time saver.
That should do for the moment.
Loved the pinned previews tip! Very useful.
My tip is to always check your explanation first when I want learn something new with Swift.
I like the triple slash comment that provides a description for a function or class when using autocomplete
The spelling check and the extended mini map navigation will be a game changer in my daily developer routine. Thanks for the excellent video. You are an awesome guy.
Paul you are a legend, thanks for sharing these, 10 years doing Xcode development and didnt know half of these - My current fave is "Run without building" when you just want to restart the app without re compiling "ctrl+cmd+r"
I don’ t really have a favorite tip that you’ve gave they’re all good one. Thank you!
Awesome! Learned many new useful things! Thank you, Paul!
Multiline Editing in Xcode is one of the most mind blowing features I have ever seen.
Favorite additional tips: CMD-Shift-Y to show/hide the debug area and Option-click on view controller when in the storyboard to display on screen and drag button actions over. Great series!
I loved that tip about generate initializers!
Thanks. Something to learn and remember for the weekend.
My favorite Xcode shortcut is selecting part of code and choosing refactor extract it to method. Makes code so clearer.
That was so extremely useful, thank you very much Paul. Those were some pretty advanced pro tips there!
Initializer method is awesome 👍, thanks for sharing this!
You got my thumbs up already after the very first tip.
So many good tips! I love the Structure > Move Selection Up or Down feature with cmd+opt+[ or cmd+opt+]. Works for both a single line of text, or many! Even more useful when writing SwiftUI
When was this added?
@@adlsfreund the feature has been there for a long time. The shortcut appeared in 2014 I believe.
This is gold!!!
Thank you so much Paul 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
The interface maker shortcut was the best one for me! It's super helpful for code review and refactoring.
BIG thanks for this huge amount of tips!
Thanks Paul, Love the tips!
Specially the one with testing in-app purchases, I used to waste so much time on those non-consumables
Fantastic! So many useful tips. Cheers for this!
Thank you for sharing, Paul!
Great tips, some new ones here! Thanks 🙏
I don't even use Xcode yet I just watched the whole video. Some super handy tips here, kinda makes me want to use Xcode 🙃
Haven't watched alll the vid yet, so don't know If it comes up, but here's the best thing I ever did for myself in Xcode. I bound the Refactor->Rename option to F13. Now I just place the cursor over a variable or function name, F13, write new name, enter. Boom, renamed everywhere
Sounda pretty cool, unfortunately my Mac doesn't have F13 😢
@@_sabot The Magic Keyboard with NumPad goes up to F19. X-Mas comes around sooner or later.
wow impressive tips! i''m using xCode something like 6 years and i learned lot of good stuff here! thanks!
Dbl click the brace is defo gonna help. Am forever scrolling up and down trying to find matching braces.
My tip: the disabled breakpoints also leaves a blue line on the right scrollbar. Just click twice in front of your actually important lines and work with a quick visible reference on the scrollbar. You can remove them after work done, from the Breakpoint Navigator.
Fantastic video! Great tips in here.
Filtering the jump bar was life savior
Thank you for your helpful explanation
Very useful one 👏🏻. Thank you
Thanks. All tips are usefull. Tiling the simulator is most useful tip for me from all the new tips I learn.
the best Swift and swift ui tutor there is 🔥
IAP testing in Xcode. Awesome! Ty for this vid.
Great video, thanks!
Thanks for the tips, I learned 2-3 new life-savers ❤️
I like to move things, and so do I like to move code in my source file. Mostly when dragging around some piece of useful code
⌥ + CMD + [ -> move line up
⌥ + CMD+ ] -> move line down
Fantastic tips - thanks Paul! :-)
Awesome video. Thank you
Great tips! Knew some of them. One tip for SwiftUI that I am careful to follow, is to not type too much code before building because the error messages don’t make sense so you can’t pinpoint which line of code is wrong until you start deleting all the lines you entered until you find the one.
These were so, so great.
These are really helpful!
Thanks! I always suggest your website and content to newer iOS developers that i meet. It's a go to resource. Succinct yet still very informative.
Thanks Paul. these will save a-lot of my time.
Thanks for these tips!
The tip about adding init to classes is also useful for structs.
the member wise init provided by the compiler is always “internal”. If you want a public one you can: Change your object from struct to class, use the Xcode refactoring tool to generate the init, change it back to a struct... and then make the generated init public.
Nice tips!
Very useful, thanks!
Thank you for your share. It's really useful.
Thank you for all the tips
Very good tips!
Very useful. 🤘
Thanks Paul!
Excellent. Thank you.
Thanks for the tips. I really liked the spell checker as I do typo a lot. 😬
Never thought I knew so little about Xcode until I watched this video.
Amazing tips
⇧⌘J - select the visible file in project navigation, was a real discovery for our team. Really help to navigation throw complicated architecture
try it!
Cheers
Documenting a method shortcut is a great tip for me, hopefully I'll be doing it more often now on :)
Thanks Paul
Thanks, really helpful
Great tips 👍
Code snippets library is my fave, i save all sorts in there
Like all of it ✨
These are great 🔑
i've learnt so much from this man it's not even funny anymore
Brilliant - thanks
Cmd shift o - nice shortcut
My favorite was 'Generating an interface file' - Awesome
How its useful? IDK how to use it.
@@trendz4422 it’s only really useful when browsing through others code, it’s gives you a birds eye view of what’s going on. Otherwise you would have to figure out what each component does and individually
Thanks paul 👏
Thank you very much for #21 ;-)
That indent shortcut is going to save me a lot of time.
too bad you didn't guess it was there.
Its good but got a bad thing when using with swiftlint, If you have an empty space (between two line for readability ) it will add space and create a warning for swift lint
Even better, there is an option in Xcode which will automatically re-indent on paste. You can find it in File > Preferences > Text editing > Indentation > Check "Re-indent on paste"
No. 5 was that I was don't know before, that's really helpful.
But what for i was hoping was "DUPLICATE CURRENT LINE", its really handy shortcut when when needed declaration of same type and modifier variable.
My tip for you guys is something some may know from the JetBrains IDEs. They have this little target icon above the file tree and if you press it, it will show you where the currently in the editor opened file is located in the file tree. This is very useful in large projects after you navigated in your editor by clicking on method names for example. I missed it so long in Xcode until I found out it has it too, but it's little bit more hidden. You have to right click in the editor, then -> Navigate -> Reveal in Project Navigator
Try CMD+Shift+J
:)

Great!
Nice video.
Number 1 is lifesaver, thank you for this video. I will be using it and number 8. Some i didn't know about, some did. Can anyone recommend some videos about testing?
Thank you 👍❤️Спасибо
Amazing
Thank you! ..... Now we need one of your subscribers to have a print out for us lol
oh yes!!
love it
TIP 3: Double Click i searched lot. Thanks Paul..!!!
Thanks.
I knew all of them 😎
Thanks for your amazing tips. BTW, could you please show me how to customize the Xcode appearance like yours?
For the 8º I'm using Amethyst to tile the windows, so it's even easier.
I know it's not part of Xcode but it's worth.
Probably the best Xcode tips list I've ever seen. I knew like only 2 of these, so the rest were pure gold :)
Hey paul, how do you add the preview or simulator that when you change code it changed the app live like in swiftui
CTRL+i this what i want. Thank u
My favourite one is All issues fixing in one click
Now if this would also work in Jira 😌
I love auto-indent --> ctrl-I ;-)
Please make a video on Swift UI MVVM programing 🙏🏼
My favourite is the 'Quicken' feature to help speed up builds. If you are finding build projects slow (especially Unity builds for me) press CMD + Q whilst XCode is buiilding the project and it will allocate more system resources to that task
for tip No1, I find it more easy not to use the Editor, you can simply do right click on the class name -> refactor > generate membervise initializer
