Apple Xcode Room for Improvement

The size of Apple Xcode could improve. It is too large.

In the next release, it would be beneficial to have the compiling time reduced and a more enhanced simulator.

Once you install the product and add a lot of command line prompts and installations and then use the multiple simulators planned for many phones, tablets, and other devices, it increases the size of Xcode. Eventually, it reduces your laptop performance, really slowing down your computer. 

Files mount up, and you don't know where they are. You need to know the complete system and do a proper cleanup; otherwise, it's impossible. If you have a lot of basic Mac devices, the 250 GB or 126, 125 GB laptop, it really sucks. So the product would be improved by a mechanism to do regular cleanups.

We would like a 'light' version of this solution to be developed, as it currently uses a lot of memory space.

We would also like there to be a short-key to copy and paste text, to use similar code, or for code sync to be included into this product.

Apple Xcode's usability for developers needs enhancement. It consists of multiple components and needs a simplified process. This particular area could be more stable.

There should be additional documentation on App Store deployment. In terms of features, they're pretty much on top of where they need to go. I've been happy with its progress so far. As things evolve, they need to evolve to match that need.

There is a drag-and-drop visual system, but as soon as you do something dynamic, then you are unable to use it.
