Getting Started with Xcode

Xcode is the primary IDE for Apple development. In this lesson, we install Xcode 17+ and create our first 'Hello World' app.

  • Understanding the Xcode interface: Navigator, Editor, Canvas, and Inspector.
  • Creating a new SwiftUI project.
  • Running the app in the Simulator.
