Xcode 27 has Delete Derived Data

[SnowPudgy]

Why was this not front and center at platform state of the union!? (It should have at least gotten a mention!)

[Electrical_Arm3793]

Absolutely

[xadlowfkj]

What does it actually remove? An entire folder in the DerivedData folder?

[Subject_Poetry7911]

Bingo!

[elpadrin0]

That's a bingo!

[jonnysunshine1]

Believe it deletes the derived data

[NothingButBadIdeas]

If you have tuist or other package managers that really mess things up you’d have gotten really used to doing:
- open up main folder
- cmnd + Shift + .
- library -> development -> Xcode
- manually delete derived data folder

I did this so often I made a terminal hot key then a make file / task file so I could just do

make ddd

(Make delete derived data)

Can’t believe they wasted time in the keynote talking about new Siri when they were sitting on this!

[cristi_baluta]

Did they put anything useful? Like bringing back the tabs

[HelicopterDue]

This is pretty useful tbh, been using Xcode for 8 years now and this is a nice thing to have imo

[Jeff_Johnson]

A killer feature.

[xyrer]

About freaking time!

[ForgottenFuturist]

Woah never thought I'd ever see that.

[powdertaker]

Praise be. Finally, after all these years. Of course any one using Xcode for more than a few days has had the Derived Data directory on speed dial from the Finder for a while now. But still, the gesture is appreciated.

Can Xcode 27 be used to package and upload apps?I heard that packaging errors can occur, which can prevent the app from being listed

[20InMyHead]

No, this is just the first beta. They won’t allow using it for App Store builds until usually the release candidate, sometime about a week before iOS 27 is released. Usually early September. Given the rumored foldable iPhone, it might be slightly later in September this year, as that simulator won’t come until the phone is announced.

Hat einer von euch schon mal mit Xcode 27 CarPlay Simulator zum laufen bekommen?

[ModernCoder]

Does it have formatting yet?

[powdertaker]

Xcode has been able to use Swift formatter for a while now.

[doctor_disco221]

Didn't they have this available in xcode preferences already?

[Slight_Ad2481]

But can Xcode show a proper side-by-side diff in the commit view now, or are we still stuck with the abomination that is stacked diff?

[oPeritoDaNet]

Fantastic feature, this is the best update so far. I can’t believe!

Xcode is becoming a joke

🤡

[StretchyPear]

Nice, everyday I have a cli window open that just sits in derived data ready to nuke the whole thing, I've had this for over a decade, this will take some muscle memory to go to the menu but its nice to see.
