THANKS Chris! I’m a retired programmer and want to write some iPhone and Mac apps. This was by far the best tutorial to get me going. I’ve tried several that didn’t do it for me. Looking forward to watching more of your videos! Thanks again!

Great to hear! And thank you for watching! :) - Pat

[@diariesofablonde]

It's a Saturday evening and I was thinking what could I start learning and I came across your tutorial. I am 10 minutes in and you explain it so well. It is really for beginners. Also great that you started by explaining even what kind of files get saved. Love that!!!

[@CodeWithChris]

Talk about great timing! We hope you enjoy learning iOS dev with us! :) - Pat

Thanks for putting together such a thoughtfully-produced, highly-detailed, and much-needed tutorial.

23 minutes into the app and the explanation is how exactly I wanted it! Effective and simple.

[@skafaced102]

First time working in Xcode and this was a great intro into how powerful the IDE is. It's insane how easy they make it to build things. Excited to dive in and start building my first app!

[@CodeWithChris]

Couldn't agree more! And thank you so much for watching! - Pat

[@skafaced102]

@@CodeWithChris question for you! I started digging and I realized my iPhone is on a later version (16) than my iMac (Big Sur) which runs Xcode 13 rather than 14. This makes it so I can’t test apps on my phone. I would rather not upgrade my OS because it tends to break my audio prod. software, do you feel it’s necessary to test apps on your phone or do you think the simulator is enough??

I bought a macbook pro 14” for swift learning, I was surprised how easy to do front end here 😂. Thank you on this video.

Chris, very easy to understand; your pace is consistent. Some other video instructors tend to be boring some point and then at some point with something important fast and you'll have to rewind. Also you explain the context of everything very well. Do you have a video on publish an app once you are happy with what you got. thanks!

Great intro to xcode. Thanks 👍

[@Matt26499]

I supported app developers at my previous job where I was testing all the software and coming up with new ideas. I was fascinated how they managed to turn these ideas into something that worked so I bought a Mac to try it out but got scared of how difficult it looked. I've returned to wanting to try it for real as I have so many new ideas for apps that just don't seem to be out there so I though, if you can't find what you want.. make it!

[@venomgp3349]

Great tutorial, love xCode. Now I do have one problem. When creating an app for cross platforms meaning I want the users from both iOS and android to be connected, it is probably a bad idea to start programming my app in xCode, because I will need to program the Same app then for android later… is there any good solution programming for both platforms ? And if so how much is it to recommend programming both at once ?

Thank you for this informative intro video. I'm very new to all this. I have an old iphone 4 running 7.1.2. and want to be able to access the log files on it but it doesn't connect to Xcode 14 which I run on Mac OS 12.6.2. Is there a way to add the iPhone 4 or iOS 7.1.2 support files from a previous Xcode version that supports iOS 7.1.2 to do this? I'm not interested in the simulator as much as working on the iPhone 4 device. Thank you.

Thanks for this video! I have a 2017 Mackbook air and Xcode could not be downloaded. Do I have to get a new Mac to get the Xcode download?

[@CodeWithChris]

Xcode 14 requires macOS Monterey 12.5 or later to be installed. Upon checking, MacBook Air 2017 is still included in the list of devices that can install macOS Monterey. What you can do is to make sure to upgrade your macOS to the latest Monterey, and make sure to have at least 70-100Gb of free space to install Xcode. Xcode will initially take up around 30Gb of memory but it'll grow over time depending on your use. - Pat
