I wish Jetbrains could save me from Xcode. Please.


I'm thankful that I don't have to deal with Obj-C nor Swift in order to know if it would help your specific complaint but have you tried their Swift plugin for CLion? https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/8240-swift

I do see the /!\ sunset /!\ warning but until they actually do nuke it, it could still be helpful


Same, this has been a big struggle personally, as an engineer I try to be flexible with the tools I need to use, but I also want my tools to bring me joy, and Xcode brings me nothing but frustration


But who's going to save you from the Swift compiler? :)


Same. Discontinuing AppCode was genuinely disappointing to me. Not sure if you can still download it, but it definitely hasn't seen a new major release since the 2023 version.


Apparently, not enough people thought like you. [0]

They had a Swift plugin release in June 2024 FWIW https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/8240-swift/versions but I'm guessing one would need to do some plugin.xml surgery given the compatibility range is locked at 2023.1.7
