When you open up xcode, you will see this image
To open a new project, navigate to file >> New Project. Once you click this, a window will pop up with the different templates you can start with. For this example, I will choose Cocoa Application
Once you select your desired type of project and click choose, you will be prompted to pick a file name and location.
After confirming the name and location of your project, your project window will appear.
Let’s go through the toolbar options. The drop down menu at the far left of the toolbar lets you choose which environment you want to test/deploy your application on. The Action drop down menu lets you add new files to your project, delete files, and do many other basic tasks. The Build and Go button compiles your code and lets you run your app. If you click it now, you will see this.
The Tasks button basically tells Xcode to stop what it is currently doing. The info button does exactly what you think it would do, it opens up a window with information on the highlighted file.
Let’s create a new Obj-C class by using the actions drop down. First, open the drop down menu by clicking on it. Then hover over add, and select file. This window will pop up.
When you highlight the file, the editor in the bottom half of the window will appear. The image below explains the commonly used buttons.
These are just the basics of xcode, I will go into more detail in a future tutorial!
