Apple almost every year releases a main version of Xcode. And this version of Xcode comes up with several features and improvements.

I’m going to write about source editor improvements in Xcode 13. There is no need to prolong this, you have already heard it from somewhere. I’ll start short.

Let’s start.

Source editor features & improvements

The Xcode source editor has got a dozen features that make your coding skills easier.

If you have a list of enums and you need to check all cases you no longer need to type all cases because autocomplete writes all cases instead of you.

If you have an array named plural and Xcode will complete the rest of the code block.

During the coding, if you face an optional variable Xcode has a autocomplete feature for that.

Of course, you can use “if let” or “guard let”

Xcode project navigator has a new view now. All files which are listed here have an icon. These files extensions can be hidden and shown.

Xcode->preferences and then select General tab you will see File Extension option. With this option, you can hide and show files extensions.

Thanks for reading.
