Xcode, Apple's tool suite and integrated development environment (IDE), is the fast and easy way for developers to create applications for Mac OS X Tiger. Xcode is designed to let you take advantage of all the great technologies that ship in Mac OS X. And using Xcode is the way you build a universal application that runs on both the Intel and PowerPC architectures.

Customizable Build System

Project management and dependency tracking is only one aspect of Xcode's project management features. Generally speaking, the basic rule of dependency tracking can be stated thusly: When one file is modified, some processing must occur on all of the files that depend on the modified file. For example, changing an Objective-C source file causes Xcode to trigger a built-in rule that invokes the GCC compiler on that file.

Xcode gives you the flexibility to define your own custom build rules. This way you can specify virtually any kind of processing required to bring the project's targets up to date. You can use custom shell scripts, makefiles, or external build systems.

Saving time with Code Sense

The Xcode source editor also offers source code completion for Objective-C, C, C++, AppleScript, and Java source files. Code completion, or Code Sense, parses your code to build a store of information about the symbols and their types defined in your project. As you begin to type an identifier or keyword, Code Sense presents a popup list of likely matches, based on the context and location within the source file. This functionality not only saves you time; it can also help you learn the names of the classes, methods, and properties available in a given framework. Figure 2 shows Code Sense working on the NSMutableArray class. Immediately after typing the class name, the completion list appears:
