xCode 13 new features

 

xCode 13 introduce a new version of Swift language with version 5.5

Introduce new SDK for iOS 15, iPad OS 15, and Watch OS 8

1. Design

• Xcode 13 introduces a new file icon according to file type.
 
• We can also hide the File extension name from the general setting.
  

2. Autocompletion improvement

• Automatic import. 
 
• For example, I’m using UIView but not imported UIKit then it will automatic import UIKit.
   
   
 
• Now the editor also detects when you are trying to wrap optional values with if..let OR guard..let.
 
• it completes your code block by just writing “if let (first letter of optional value )” and it will give suggestions.
  
   
 
• Deeper Property 
 
• Xcode 13 offers autocomplete properties inside properties.
  
 
• Enum case with switch:
 
• Now we can autocomplete all enum cases in the switch case with the condition.

3. Column breakpoint

• Now you can add a breakpoint in a certain point instead of the whole line.
  

4. Version control

• Apple introduced version control in Xcode.
 
• But in XCode 13 they give a massive update for version control. 
 
• Now in Xcode 13, it is easy to compare changes between two versions code.
 
• Now you can also take an open pull request in Xcode and also invite a reviewer.
