I am an amateur developer, and I have really enjoyed working on Xcode.
There are a few things I don't like about Xcode, but as a whole, it is the best totally free option for iOS development. The thing didn't delete the compressed version from the failed installation, and apple decided everything needs to be closed source, so I have no idea where the file is right now other than the vague "on the hard drive". At that point, it tells Me that there is not enough space on the computer.
At this point I Am frustrated, and cancel the install in order to restart because this app is, at the time of writing this, required for the unreal engine. At that point, it decided that it would hang. Finally it agrees to install, and then proceeds to take four hours just to download, instead of giving Me a torrent for some reason. Somehow that still wasn't enough so I deleted some movies and gave it fifty gigabytes, which is where is gets a little crazy. Okay, so I compressed some files and gave it 35 gigabytes. It still didn't want to install, probably because apps come as archives and it needs room for two copies at once. It says it's twelve gigabytes, which is kinda surprising considering I've only seen them under one gigabyte, so whatever I deleted fifteen gigabytes to install it. Some features may require Internet access. To submit your apps to the App Store you must be a member of the Apple Developer Program. To test or run applications on an iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, or Apple Watch all you need is a free Apple ID.
