Walk through some of the best practices to help you get started using Xcode, an IDE and code editor created by Apple. Use Xcode when building iOS apps with React Native to find and fix build issues faster and more efficiently.
When developing a mobile app, you need to build and run your app on a simulator or device to test it and view the changes. This is unlike working with web apps where you don’t need to build the app every time.
When working with React Native and iOS, it’s typical to use Xcode as build tool. Building apps that run on iOS requires at least some Xcode knowledge.
In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through some best practices to help you get started using Xcode and offer some tips that will change the way you develop iOS apps with React Native.
Here’s what we’ll cover:
- What is Xcode?
- Building a React Native app on iOS with Xcode
- Running a React Native app on a real iOS device
- Using a simulator to run and test your code
- Xcode schemes
- Working with the
info.plistfile
What is Xcode?
Xcode is an IDE and code editor created by Apple to help developers build Apple products — namely, mobile apps for iOS and desktop apps for macOS.
Xcode is a complete environment that contains a set of integrated tools and apps designed to assist with all development processes, including testing, building, deploying, compiling, and debugging.
