Xcode

Tuist & Xcode Copilot are great.

ShadowVim seems nice too.

Notes

• "Run without building" has saved me so much time, it's ridiculous
• Use different colours for the console output to make the log output easier to reason about
• Xcode can show the view frames in a running app
• Wondering about an unfamiliar Xcode build setting? Try option+double clicking on it in the target editor for a descriptive tooltip.
• Don't install Xcode from app store if you need it to work.
• Build Timeline offers an entirely new way of visualizing the tasks of an Xcode build based on parallelization
• defaults write http://com.apple.dt.Xcode ShowBuildOperationDuration YES will show how long your build took in Xcode.
• You can right click a test diamond in Xcode you choose to run a test repeatedly. Great for when you suspect you have a flaky test.
• "Edit All in Scope" is great refactoring option in Xcode
