Just because it’s impossible for third-parties to write an IDE doesn’t mean Apple can’t. In fact, it seems more likely that Apple would ship Xcode for iOS as a way of trying out new API capabilities and then in a year or two allowing other devs to use some of the same capabilities. That said, I could imagine that if such an API existed, Visual Studio Code would be the first text editor devs would be excited for. I like Nova, it’s much faster than VS Code, but VS Code has all the extensions, and is cross-platform. I tend to use Nova for files, VS Code for folders and JetBrains IDEs for projects…
