AppCode

Smart IDE for iOS and macOS development

AppCode is an Objective-C IDE for developers building apps for Apple devices such as Macs, iPhones & iPads. It is focused on developer productivity, code quality and tight integration with Xcode. This smart IDE comes with well-thought-out and convenient code navigation and code completion, on the fly code analysis with quick-fix suggestions and better code refactorings. You can open and create Xcode projects and run your app on an iOS device or in a simulator. Thanks to an in-depth understanding of your code structure, AppCode takes care of your routine tasks and saves you from extra typing.

Smart editor: Jump to any file, class, or symbol in your project in no time. Use hierarchical and structured views to navigate through your project structure.
Thorough code analysis: AppCode is constantly monitoring the quality of your code. It warns you of errors and smells and suggests quick fixes to resolve them automatically.
Smart completion: AppCode offers two kinds of code completion: basic as-you-type completion and more advanced Smart completion for precise filtering.
Reliable refactorings: Modify and improve your code at any time with safe, accurate, reliable refactorings.

With AppCode, it feels like code flies from my head to the screen.

News

Sunsetting of AppCode

Since the release of AppCode 1.0 11 years ago, we’ve been applying our expertise to make coding for iOS/macOS more enjoyable. We’ve had many accomplishments, including first-class C++ support (from which CLion, our cross-platform C/C++ IDE, was born), an extremely fast release of initial support for the new Swift language, and finally, Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile technology, which combines our passion for Kotlin with our knowledge of mobile technologies.

While we’ve had some growth in terms of adoption, we didn’t reach the market share we had hoped for. We believe that the time has come to sunset the product and focus our efforts in other directions.

Until December 31, 2023, we will continue to provide technical support and release updates that specifically address compatibility issues with Xcode 14, as well as critical security updates as necessary. The scope of the updates will be limited to these two areas.
