Yeah, they’re catastrophically messed up the way it handles line-endings. As well as getting all the code positions wrong, it also now trashes the line endings whenever you save a file, which explains why I’ve had to push a lot of whitespace fixes to the repo recently…
It really is disappointing. Up until now each release seemed to be an improvement, but this one is just a disaster.
Adding Windows line endings to files (the JUCE style) is also broken. And it took me HOURS to get an iPad to accept a debugging connection, and I’m still not sure why.
Thanks - yes, we have our own cleanup scripts here too, and our Jenkins system warns us if we attempt to push any broken whitespace. I just keep forgetting to run it…
The “live issue” (preferences->general-> show live issue) started to annoy me a lot a few versions back, so I ended turning it off. Not sure if you would like it, but the editing just feels smoother without it in my opinion (but perhaps it’s my mac that was just a bit too slow).
interesting… I am 100% that I tried all combinations before. But with this setting it works perfect now, CMD-click jumps and CMD+Ctrl+click brings the menu…
Thank you!
No, jules, we are used to see the past in nice colours, but no; Xcode is a constant aggravation: from debugging (no way to inspect memory anymore, mismatching code lines), over wrong file modification dependency checks, increasing crashes, increasingly slow editor (used for large .svg), and myriads of other deteriorations. So Xcode 9 is perfectly in line - tons off unnecessary new features - no bug fixes, ever)
To everyone in this thread having build issues, make sure to delete your derived data (not just cmd-K, nuke the whole folder), then go grab lunch while the project re-indexes.
On a positive note…
One HUGE improvement in Xcode 9 is that the whole source editor has been replaced. It used to run at horrid frame rates with tearing and poor responsiveness, pushing your CPU to 105% to scroll. Now it runs buttery smooth with CPU usage at 20%, in line with third party apps like Sublime! (On my 2015 15" MBP)
As others have pointed out, this isn’t super useful when nothing else works very well, but hey, it’s something…
Also, for specific issues, use the Help -> Report an Issue menu item to file a bug. From what I hear it’s not just a black hole, people at Apple actually read them!
