iOS 17 Programming for Beginners - Eighth Edition

Exploring Xcode

Welcome to iOS 17 Programming for Beginners. I hope you will find this a useful introduction to creating and publishing iOS 17 apps on the App Store.

In this chapter, you’ll download and install Xcode on your Mac. Then, you’ll explore the Xcode user interface. After that, you’ll create your first iOS app and run it in Simulator. Finally, you’ll run your app on an iOS device.

By the end of this chapter, you will know how to create an iOS app, how to run it in Simulator, and how to run in on an iOS device.

The following topics will be covered in this chapter:

  • Downloading and installing Xcode from the App Store
  • Exploring the Xcode user interface
  • Running your app in Simulator
  • Running your app on an iOS device

Technical requirements

To do the exercises for this chapter, you will need the following:

  • An Apple Mac computer (Apple Silicon or Intel) running macOS 13 Ventura or macOS 14 Sonoma
  • An Apple ID (if you don’t have one, you will create one in this chapter)
  • Optionally, an iOS device running iOS 17

The Xcode project for this chapter is in the Chapter01 folder of the code bundle for this book, which can be downloaded here:

https://github.com/PacktPublishing/iOS-17-Programming-for-Beginners-Eighth-Edition

Check out the following video to see the code in action:

https://youtu.be/T-0fMJj2vq8

You’ll start by downloading Xcode, Apple’s integrated development environment (IDE) for developing iOS apps from the App Store, in the next section.

The size of the download is very large (10.10 GB at the time of writing) so it may take a while to download. Ensure that you have enough disk space prior to downloading.
