Synopsis Pro Xcode by : Matthew Knott

Pro Xcode is a complete Xcode reference for developers. While Apress' Beginning Xcode touched on some fairly advanced topics in a relaxed and friendly manner, Apress' Pro Xcode is a more expansive and concise book, going into more detail about each area with a tone more appropriate to the audience. In this book, you'll learn and use unit testing, instruments, core data, persistence and more. This book also includes in-app purchasing using Xcode, which few other books cover. While using this book, you'll get some cool projects to build. For example, you'll learn how to create a ‘Charades’ or ‘Draw Something’ style app where you'll get exposure to iOS game center integration. This 'Charades' game app lets users draw a picture describing a phrase and the other player has to guess what it is. Other projects include the following: Build a class for a person and set up unit tests to check the constructor works currently. Create an app that plays music from a device’s music collection. Build an electronic business card and make it available in multiple languages. Create a Sprite Kit app with some fun physics effects such as walls that explode when contacted by another object. Develop an app with a dollar value displayed representing in-game credits that is altered through in-app purchases. After reading and using this book, you'll be a proficient and productive iOS app developer using the Xcode IDE and framework.

Synopsis Xcode Treasures by : Chris Adamson

Learn the critical tips and techniques to make using Xcode for the iPhone, iPad, or Mac easier, and even fun. Explore the features and functionality of Xcode you may not have heard of. Go under the hood to discover how projects really work, so when they stop working, you'll know how to fix them. Explore the common problems developers face when using Xcode, and find out how to get the most out of your IDE. Dig into Xcode, and you'll discover it's richer and more powerful than you might have thought. Get a huge productivity boost by working with Xcode instead of against it. Instead of hacky code fixes and manual processes, once you know the the why and how of Xcode's process, you'll discover that doing things Xcode's way makes your app development more elegant and less aggravating. Explore the major features of Xcode: project management, building UIs with storyboards, code editing, compiling apps, fixing bugs and performance problems, unit- and UI testing, and source code management. Go beyond the basics and explore tasks that professionals deal with when they're working on big projects. Create storyboards that many developers can work on at once, even as projects grow to hundreds or thousands of files. Find the tools that make the code editor pleasant to work with, even in long coding sessions. Discover the right way to find and fix bugs when you have lots of code that's not always playing nicely together.Dig into specific and little-discussed features that help developers on Apple's other platforms: macOS, watchOS, and tvOS. When you're ready to distribute your app, learn how Apple's code-signing system really works. Find out when to let Xcode handle it automatically, and how to do it manually when needed. Discover how much easier and more fun iOS development is when you know the secrets of the tools. What You Need: This book requires Xcode 9 and a Mac running macOS High Sierra (10.13.2) or later. Additionally, an iOS device is recommended for on-device testing but not required.

Synopsis Step Into Xcode by : Fritz Anderson

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 includesUnderstanding Xcode workflow and the Mac OS X application lifecyclePorting established legacy projects into XcodeUsing the Model-View-Controller design pattern to build robust graphical applicationsBuilding static libraries and working with Xcode's build systemMaking the most of bundles and package directoriesCreating applications compatible with older versions of Mac OS X Creating universal binaries to run on both Intel and PowerPC MacintoshesAdding Spotlight searchability to data filesLeveraging Xcode's built-in support for unit testingUsing Xcode on makefile-based UNIX development projects "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.

Each new app will be a little more advanced than the one before, and together they cover everything you need to know to make your own apps. By the end of the series you'll be experienced enough to turn your ideas into real apps that you can sell on the App Store. Tutorial 1: Bull's Eye. In the first tutorial in the book, you'll start off by building a simple but fun game to learn the basics of iPhone programming. In the process, you'll get familiar with Xcode, Interface Builder, and Swift in an easygoing manner. Tutorial 2: Checklists. In the second tutorial in the series, you'll create your own to-do list app. In the process, you'll learn about the fundamental design patterns that all iOS apps use and about table views, navigation controllers and delegates. Now you're making apps for real! Tutorial 3: MyLocations. In the third tutorial, you'll develop a location-aware app that lets you keep a list of spots that you find interesting. In the process, you'll learn about Core Location, Core Data, Map Kit, and much more! Tutorial 4: StoreSearch. Mobile apps often need to talk to web services and that's what you'll do in this final tutorial of the book. You'll make a stylish app for iPhone and iPad that lets you search for products on the iTunes store using HTTP requests and JSON. It is my sincere belief that this series can turn you from a complete newbie into an accomplished iOS developer, but you do have to put in the time and effort. By writing this book I've done my part, now it's up to you...
