Setting up Xcode

Setting up Xcode is also very simple. Let's open Safari (or any browser you use) and type in https://developer.apple.com/xcode/.

Click on Download (on the top right) -> Mac App Store

It opens up the AppStore application on your Mac. Sign in to your iCloud account. And click on the Download icon. Download Xcode 15, not beta.

Let's wait until it downloads and installs Xcode.

Once it's done, let's open the Launchpad and search for Xcode:

Press return and open Xcode!

Now you have Xcode!

Creating a new project

If you click on "Create a new Xcode project," it should show you:

Select App and click Next. You should see:

You need to Add an account now. It is the iCloud account. Sign in with your iCloud account, and that's it!

Add your preferred domain as your organization identifier. I used my own domain. You can just say "com.example". And create your first project.

Now you're ready to build iOS apps.
