VSCode上的iOS开发

Using an IDE other than Xcode for iOS development until recently was a rather lonely path. This however tends to change with recent developments in the Apple ecosystem. Swift runs officially on Linux, Windows, AWS lambda, docker, and other places where you wouldn’t expect to find a programming language made by Apple.

直到最近，使用Xcode以外的IDE进行iOS开发都是一条很孤独的道路。 但是，随着Apple生态系统的最新发展，这种趋势往往会改变。 Swift可以在Linux，Windows，AWS lambda，docker和其他您不希望找到Apple编写的编程语言的地方正式运行。

Apple also wants to enable Swift to be a first-class citizen in 3rd party IDEs providing error reporting and code auto-completion. For that reason, they are developing SourceKit-LSP with plugins ready for popular IDEs such as Visual Studio Code (aka VSCode).

苹果还希望让Swift成为第三方IDE中的一等公民，从而提供错误报告和代码自动完成功能。 出于这个原因，他们正在开发SourceKit-LSP ，其插件可用于流行的IDE，例如Visual Studio Code(又名VSCode)。

Why would you want to use an IDE other than Xcode? Well, Xcode is not available on Linux or Windows in the first place. But even when being on a Mac, VSCode offers several nice features among of them a killer one called Live Share that allows 2 or more developers to collaborate remotely on the same file with live code co-editing. You can think of it as Google Docs for code.

为什么要使用Xcode以外的IDE？ 好吧，首先，Xcode在Linux或Windows上不可用。 但是，即使在Mac上，VSCode也提供了许多不错的功能，其中一个杀手级功能称为Live Share ，它允许2个或更多开发人员通过实时代码共同编辑在同一文件上进行远程协作。 您可以将其视为Google Docs代码。

In the days of post-Covid and home office this feature is a real life saver and makes a developer’s life so much easier either if you want to do pair programming or briefly explain and get assistance on a certain task.

在Covid发布后和家庭办公室时代，此功能可为您节省大量时间，如果您想进行配对编程或简要地解释并获得特定任务的帮助，则使开发人员的生活变得更加轻松。
