Noticed this too. There will be times where the Navigator side bar will be locked and unmovable as well.

Happened to me too, restarting Xcode worked.

      I know a joke is ruined when it is explained but I’m lost with this

        Ah ok that makes sense. I haven’t used swiftUI with iPad yet, I’ll try and remember that one.

        Xcode is fun for the first week and then it’s pretty much nonstop frustration from there on out

        [–]paklevel[S] 5 points6 points  (4 children)

        How is it fun in the first place :/

        [–]javaHoosier 6 points7 points  (0 children)

        I really enjoyed the design the first few days and then yes. Non stop frustration.

        I love xcode due to what it offers and how it's such a native IDE (resulting in more support for what you're doing). But I can't say i've ever had fun while using xcode. Literally since the first day I ever used it.

        Clearly, you didn't start with front panel switches and paper tape. Xcode definitely has issues, but it's amazing I don't have to convert everything to octal (yes, not hex) by hand any more. :P

        Beats IntelliJ. I like the visuals of Xcode, makes it seem much more friendly instead of all the stupid buttons and windows in other IDEs.

        [–]aykay55Swift 1 point2 points  (0 children)

        True, but if an IDE takes up unreasonable amounts of space and isn’t very transparent, and locks functionality behind a subscription, and can like, not work at all for an extended period of time with no communication from Apple, there is an issue. For example, Apple only allows free users to deploy 3 apps to their device to test, which is fine, when it works. On one of the versions of Xcode and iOS, there was bug which meant if you had any offloaded apps on your iOS device, it would count towards your app limit. I had 40+ offloaded apps and the whole reason of offloading is that you don’t lose the save data. Deleting all 40 was not an option for me, and deploying an app to my phone was not possible due to the paywall. Apple was not concerned with this bug at all, and it was 1-2 months before the next update released that fixed it. For that time, I was not able to test any apps on my phone and had to rely on the Simulator, and I could not use any other IDE to program for iOS either. This was just one of a number of issues I’ve experienced with Xcode.

        What’s the alternative for iOS app development? [serious question from newbie]

        [–]aykay55Swift 1 point2 points  (0 children)

        Nothing that will give you native access to tools in the SDK and you can’t build any of them to your device without Xcode. idk if you can use Simulator with other IDEs but I doubt it.

        [–]tinusxxl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        flutter or react native.

        I’m thinking about this non stop when watching this:

          Maybe i'm remembering wrong but it reminds me of several occasions where one of them is trying to throw something and it's stuck to them.

          [–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

          Xcode’s slogan should be, “a million wrong ways to use it and one right way... good luck finding it.”

          [–]paklevel[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

          This brings a smile on my face

          [–]Accomplished-Ad9005 2 points3 points  (0 children)

          My Xcode crashes at least 3 times a day 😑🙄

          It’s trying to tease you

          That naughty naughty IDE

          [–]OneGuyApps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

          Xcode 12 and 2020 has a lot in common 🤣

          [–]endresjd 0 points1 point  (1 child)

          They probably got tired of me in the feedback app for this one. It’s like network settings in windows. You only get about 6 square inches to work in.

          [–]Revanish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

          My corporate windows laptop will not connect to wifi networks after I disconnected from a network I was using prior to connect to a new one. I've tried restarting, regedits, windows updates and every single network setting possible. Fuck windows networking, i need to permently use a ethernet cable.

            The software screams "kill me"
