Hello, I am trying to develop on Xcode 15, compilation of a plugin and development works. I can comile run and debug. But the developer experience is terrible, i have no syntax highlight, no autocomplete, no jump to declaration, show documentation, refactorings, etc. - Is this to be expected when developing for a JUCE generated project or am I doing something wrong? - Do you use xcode to develop or only to compile? If another IDE/environment what is your setup? ![Screenshot 2024-03-14 at 20.48.00](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/juce/original/3X/3/f/3fe1a15d7e2e08054f9aa306d52f84e60281bf75.jpeg) Sorry I am an apple dev, new to JUCE and in general audio development Thank you ---

I am not familiar with Xcode IDE (perhaps there is a solution). Here is what CLion shows me (I am using CLion Nova on macOS): ![clion](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/juce/original/3X/9/c/9c4acd6f6c814d87cb3f204a066b060b015bca2f.png) ---

(Command line app, desktop app, etc). It’s just plugin projects that are broken with 15.3 looks like this was a problem introduced in 15.3 - people going back to 15.2 has solved the issue. ---

Thanks, i hope to make it work with xcode, since I’ll need integration with Swift code, would be neat, in negative case i guess i’ll try out with CLion ---

Yess it worked thanks so much! So for future reference, Xcode **15.0** , **15.1** and **15.3** won’t cut it, use explicitly Xcode **15.2** ![Screenshot 2024-03-15 at 12.42.32](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/juce/original/3X/0/c/0c9ecf354b9500536aade0dee626c6d9fbce5282.jpeg) ---

Download it manually [https://xcodereleases.com/](https://xcodereleases.com/) Or if you want an easier GUI (and you trust it) [https://www.xcodes.app/](https://www.xcodes.app/) ---

Xcode 15.4(Released May 13) seems solved this issue!
