#appcode — Public Fediverse posts

For anyone who misses #AppCode, or just wants an alternative to #Xcode that has real #vim support and a whole host of other tools, Joachim Ansorg has released version 2 of his @intellij plugin Noctule, bringing #Swift support back to @jetbrains.

#IntelliJ and the Kotlin Multiplatform plugin have come a long way recently. I’m able to edit, run, and debug our #Swift #iOS app. Code navigation works pretty well. And my fingers still remember most of the keyboard shortcuts. Feels like #AppCode is rising from the dead.

I really want to like #neovim. There are some awesome plugins that would allow me to largely replace #Xcode for iOS dev (https://github.com/wojciech-kulik/xcodebuild.nvim). But man, configuration is a drag. I just want a file tree on the left, buffer panes on the right, and have it open looking as it did when it was closed. But the trees don't play nice with sessions and debugging plugins is not fun.

@allenu JetBrains IDEs have this. When finding references you can choose to filter by readers and/or writers. Alas they killed #AppCode, their Swift/ObjC IDE. They have a new IDE with some Swift support, Fleet, but it doesn’t have this feature.

@jessegrosjean I know this is of no use to you, but #AppCode used to have this.

Thanks to the huge leg-up from https://wojciechkulik.pl/ios/the-complete-guide-to-ios-macos-development-in-neovim, I'm finally putting together a worthy replacement for #AppCode in #neovim.

I see the light, but it's been frustrating. Many docs assume too much prior knowledge, such as plugin set up instructions. Because there are many plugin managers, each with more than one way to set up a plugin, much trial and error is necessary.

And it seems that just as I get everything working, something else breaks.

But I'm fixing things and learning as I go!

With new Kotlin Multiplatform #KMP support in Fleet comes the ability to open #Xcode projects! I opened a simple (non-KMP) project and had full code navigation and completion. Nice!

Now if only they could bring their #vim emulation up to the same level of functionality as the #IdeaVim plugin in the rest of their IDEs, things would really be looking up. But it likely won’t be soon since it seems they're reimplementing from scratch - and slowly.

This looks like a good how-to on setting up code completion for #Xcode projects in editors like #neovim and #vscode. My search for the best post #AppCode solution continues ... https://wojciechkulik.pl/ios/how-to-develop-ios-and-macos-apps-in-other-ides-like-neovim-or-vs-code

How many times do I need to uncheck these two in #AppCode?

In my ongoing quest to find a suitable replacement for #AppCode, I'm now experimenting with #DoomEmacs and #SourceKitLSP. I've got #LSP working but I'm struggling with key remapping.

For anyone else lamenting the demise of #AppCode, you may want to follow Joachim Ansorg’s attempt at an #LSP enabled #Swift plugin for #IntelliJ: https://github.com/jansorg/swift-plugin. It's in early stages and doesn't yet support #Xcode projects. Also it appears to be closed source - GitHub is used only for issue tracking and discussions.

I’ll definitely be keeping my eye on this one.

@ianthetechie I have not found anything yet.

I too wrestle it daily.

These days, #VSCode (with this extension, https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=sswg.swift-lang) is picking up the slack on my end.

I have a large-ish mono repo with Rust and C++ code along with the Swift code that I have to manage simultaneously - so, the loss of #AppCode was also a double-whammy on that front.

Are any #swift developers interested in working on trying to get SourceKit-LSP to work with #Xcode projects? With the upcoming demise of #AppCode, I’m looking for alternatives, and a solution that involves #SourceKit, #LSP, and can understand Xcode projects seems the most promising as it can be used in any editor with #LanguageServerProtocol support.

New #AppCode Release Candidate is out! They’re holding true to their promise of one final year of support. I wish they’d change their mind and keep it alive.

I keep getting excited (and confused) when I see the #AppCode team update tickets I reported. I expect more improvements coming soon to Inline Function.

Like, is AppCode dead or isn't it?

It's a curious thing… why is JetBrains continuing to work on #AppCode refactoring bugs I submitted?

I'm not complaining!

The demise of #AppCode is just so depressing. Despite its warts there was nothing better for raw code editing and refactoring. Every time I open it it makes me sad. I thought I would have a good amount of time before being forced to stop using it, but the latest release is just so unstable — crashing multiple times a day. Switching back to Xcode feels like coding with my hands tied behind my back. I’ve started looking into #Swift #LanguageServerProtocol in either #vim or #emacs. <sigh>

Sad to see that JetBrains is discontinuing AppCode.

AppCode isn't perfect, but it's a hell of a lot better than Xcode and VSCode for Swift development.

Sad news that #JetBrains is sunsetting #AppCode. I started using AppCode a few months ago after becoming frustrated with how slow Xcode Swift autocompletion is when working with a larger project. The ViM support is much better than Xcode, with great autoformatting and support for the other languages I use in mobile projects - JavaScript, HTML and CSS. Swift is a complex language to parse and I guess it just isn’t worth the effort needed given that many iOS devs won’t consider a Java IDE.
