5 amazing Tools for every iOS Developer
Apps help creating better Apps!
There are a lot of apps and tools out there promising to help us develop amazing apps. Let’s look through some of the really useful ones I use frequently!
1. Xcodes
The easiest way to install and switch between multiple versions of Xcode.
We all know the struggle. Supporting many Xcode versions and keeping up-to-date with betas makes no fun and consumes a lot of disk space. Clicking through Apples developer portal to find the one Xcode version you need is super annoying!
Xcodes makes it a lot easier to download and manage the Xcode versions you need. See which versions are installed and get new ones with just one click.
Price: free
Download: The ready-to-use app can be downloaded from the GitHub page.
2. DevCleaner for Xcode
If you want to reclaim tens of gigabytes of your storage used for various Xcode caches — this tool is for you!
Old Xcode and iOS Versions, Derived Data, Documentation and Logs… a lot of rubbish accumulates on our Macs. DevCleaner wipes through your developer directory and lists all unneeded junk. 🧹
You can select what’s save to remove and delete it with one button press. This way you can save many GB in a short amount of time. Using this tool you’ll think about remaining disk space a lot less.
Price: free
Download: You can download the app from the Mac App Store.
3. ControlRoom
Take charge of your iOS Simulator
This app supercharches your simulator! 🚀
It provides convenience access to the language and location settings and allows changing time, battery level and network state. It can also trigger push notifications…
