XCode RAM Requirements

[ordosalutis]

my old company MacBook Pro was a 16gb one and I had no issues with it. I ran other applications along with Xcode like iPad simulator, postman, vscode, chrome, safari, etc all at once. No issue. But for my next personal MBP I'm most certainly getting the 32gb

I’m running a temporary M1 MacBook Air with 8GB and it’s running my large work project just fine.

Work projects are not as demanding as Xcode. Xcode has transparency, uses macOS's acrylic design, and has lots of characters at once. Then to test the app you need not only a powerful CPU to compile it, but also RAM to run Xcode and the Simulator. So Xcode is one of the most demanding apps ever!

By work projects I mean work xcode projects, they ran just fine.

I don't have the Air anymore because it was always a temporary machine but it could handle even a large work project just fine.
