I don't have any experience developing iOS or Cocoa applications, but I imagine that you need to use at least some of the XCode toolchain to make those things happen.
- United857 11y agoYou need the compilers/toolchain from Xcode, but there are third-party build tools, such as e.g. Buck[1] that combined with an decent editor, let you pretty much avoid the Xcode GUI for a lot of the development cycle. [1]https://buckbuild.com/ https://buckbuild.com/
- bryanrasmussen 11y agoyou said "a lot of the development cycle", as someone who hates Xcode I worry that won't be enough (not making anything requiring compilation on mac at moment, so not particularly worried)
- United857 11y agoIf you don't use Interface Builder, you can actually avoid Xcode completely.
