Xcode Select

Q: What is Xcode used for?

Xcode is Apple's official suite of developer tools for building apps on Apple platforms, including macOS, iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS. It features an integrated development environment (IDE) for writing, editing, testing, and debugging code, along with tools for interface design, performance profiling, and app distribution.
