Hi Avalonsutra, we are sorry to hear that you are unpleased with our product. This is a bummer! I really like some of Jetbrain's tools (using Rider at home which is great) but recent AppCode releases are just a pain to use now. I will not extend my subscription next time. I dislike Xcode but there isn't really any other choice with the poor performance delivered by AppCode. These issues have gotten to a point were it seriously impacts my work performance negatively compared to other engineers who use Xcode. AppCode 2019.2 is a couple magnitudes slower with the listed issues. This is all with generous amounts of RAM supplied to AppCode (I set Xmx to 4GB).
Issues related to the general slowness of AppCode such as seeing a "Loading." for up to 20 seconds when opening a source code file or AppCode simply freezing for ~10 seconds when pasting a class into a code file. After above step is done AppCode takes another couple of minutes to finish code analysis, AFTER it FINALLY managed to start the code analysis which also can take a while (you wont see syntax hi-lighted code until then).
After restart and especially after pod install/repo merge AppCode goes into its mapping- and indexing mode again which takes anything from 1 to 5 minutes in our project before the IDE can be used.
Cannot use Xcode at the same time! If launching Xcode the connection to the simulator will become unusable and you have to restart AppCode to get it working again. Compilation is 1.5 to 2 times slower than Xcode. Slow code completion! It takes anything from 5-30 seconds for AppCode to show code suggestions. Here's a list of the many issues I face with this IDE in a medium-sized project on a 2015 Macbook: After trying 2019.2 which is unusably slow I went back to 2019.1.5 which is just borderline slow. Using this tool has become an every day frustration for me. I kept recommending it to fellow engineers but it seems recently Jetbrains dropped the ball on this IDE.
Ok, I've had it with AppCode! I liked it a lot some years ago.
