Interesting facts

AppCode is JetBrains’s attempt to supplant Xcode. JetBrains provides a variety of developer tools across a multitude of platforms, so their resume is strong for creating a competitor to Apple’s Xcode. AppCode uses the same project model and project file, and synchronizes all changes with Xcode. You can work simultaneously in both IDEs, make changes and jump back and forth – AppCode will make sure that everything is synchronized and up to date.
