Use Xcode 6 to Craft Outstanding iOS and OS X Apps! Xcode 6 Start to Finish will help you use Apple’s Xcode 6 tools to improve productivity, write great code, and leverage the newest iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite features, including Apple’s new Swift programming language. Drawing on more than thirty years of experience developing for Apple platforms, and helping others do so, Fritz Anderson presents a complete best-practice workflow that reflects Xcode’s latest innovations. Through three full, sample projects, you’ll learn to integrate testing, source control, and other key skills into a high-efficiency process that works. And all sample code has been completely written in Swift, with figures and descriptions that reflect Xcode’s radically new interface. This is the only Xcode 6 book focused on deep mastery of the tools you’ll be living with every day. Anderson reveals better ways to storyboard, instrument, build, and compile code, and helps you apply new features, ranging from Interface Builder Live Rendering to View Debugging and XCTest Performance Testing. By the time you’re finished, you’ll have all the Xcode 6 skills you need in order to develop truly exceptional software. Coverage includes <ul>
<li> Working with iOS-side dynamic frameworks and iOS/OS X extension modules </li> <li> Streamlining Model, View, and Controller development with Swift </li> <li> Rewriting Objective-C functions in Swift </li> <li> Efficiently managing layouts and view hierarchies with size classes </li> <li> Inspecting and fixing interface issues with the new View Debugger </li> <li> Displaying and configuring custom views within Interface Builder via Live Rendering </li> <li> Benchmarking performance within the Xcode 6 unit test framework </li> <li> Leveraging Xcode 6 automated tools to simplify localization </li> <li> Creating new extensions to inject services and UI into other applications </li> <li> Mastering new Swift debugging techniques </li> </ul>

A Step-by-Step Guide to the Xcode Mac OS Development Environment
Every copy of Mac OS X comes with Xcode, the powerful development suite that Apple uses to build applications ranging from Safari to iTunes. But because Xcode is complex and subtle, even experienced Mac programmers rarely take full advantage of it. Now, Mac developer Fritz Anderson has written the definitive introduction and guide to using Xcode to build applications with any Macintosh technology or language.
Anderson helps you master Xcode's powerful text editor, industry-standard gcc compiler, graphical interactive debugger, mature UI layout and object linkage editor, and exceptional optimization tools. One step at a time, you'll develop a command-line utility, then use Xcode tools to evolve it into a full-fledged Cocoa application. Anderson provides expert guidance on development frameworks, source code management, Core Data modeling, localization, and much more.
Coverage includes
<ul><li>Understanding Xcode workflow and the Mac OS X application lifecycle</li></ul>
<ul><li>Porting established legacy projects into Xcode</li></ul>
<ul><li>Using the Model-View-Controller design pattern to build robust graphical applications</li></ul>
<ul><li>Building static libraries and working with Xcode's build system</li></ul>
<ul><li>Making the most of bundles and package directories</li></ul>
<ul><li>Creating applications compatible with older versions of Mac OS X </li></ul>
<ul><li>Creating universal binaries to run on both Intel and PowerPC Macintoshes</li></ul>
<ul><li>Adding Spotlight searchability to data files</li></ul>
<ul><li>Leveraging Xcode's built-in support for unit testing</li></ul>
<ul><li>Using Xcode on makefile-based UNIX development projects</li></ul>
Step Into Xcode's breadth, depth, and practical focus make it indispensable to every Mac developer: current Xcode users upgrading to Xcode 2.1, experienced Mac programmers migrating from CodeWarrior, UNIX/Linux programmers moving to Mac OS X, and even novices writing their first programs or scripts.
