THANKS Chris! I’m a retired programmer and want to write some iPhone and Mac apps. This was by far the best tutorial to get me going. I’ve tried several that didn’t do it for me. Looking forward to watching more of your videos! Thanks again!

Fantastic Chris, really very helpful! Would love to have seen this same walkthrough but for a macOS application, however this still served as a fantastic primer to the IDE. Your presentation is excellent, very clear and a good pace, a definite sub from me.
Thanks for putting together such a thoughtfully-produced, highly-detailed, and much-needed tutorial.

@@CodeWithChris question for you! I started digging and I realized my iPhone is on a later version (16) than my iMac (Big Sur) which runs Xcode 13 rather than 14. This makes it so I can’t test apps on my phone. I would rather not upgrade my OS because it tends to break my audio prod. software, do you feel it’s necessary to test apps on your phone or do you think the simulator is enough??
I've been developing programs for over 20 years but had no knowledge of ios development. This is by far the best tutorial I've seen (and I've been searching for a LONG time). Congrats on the excellent job. Thanks.

Chris, very easy to understand; your pace is consistent. Some other video instructors tend to be boring some point and then at some point with something important fast and you'll have to rewind. Also you explain the context of everything very well. Do you have a video on publish an app once you are happy with what you got. thanks!

I supported app developers at my previous job where I was testing all the software and coming up with new ideas. I was fascinated how they managed to turn these ideas into something that worked so I bought a Mac to try it out but got scared of how difficult it looked. I've returned to wanting to try it for real as I have so many new ideas for apps that just don't seem to be out there so I though, if you can't find what you want.. make it!

Hi Chris! Thanks for all of the great content. It's very clear and helpful! I have a question though, I'm a little worried about how to develop an app without it's ideas being stolen...you know what I mean? Like, I'm afraid of apple somehow seeing my coding and app ideas, and implementing them before I'm able to... Should I even worry about that kind of thing or..? (ex: Lets say I had an idea called CornwoodDealers where its an app, but I don't want the name CornwoodDealers to be taken, or the ideas)
Great video, just wanted to know if you could share your keyboard model details :), thanks.
Interacting with apple's dev tools honestly makes me wish I had an android phone. Random authentication errors, an infinitely looping login screen, needing to contact support to rename a personal team registered under a previous name, fun. I haven't even gotten to coding yet.
you are the best

Thank you for this informative intro video. I'm very new to all this. I have an old iphone 4 running 7.1.2. and want to be able to access the log files on it but it doesn't connect to Xcode 14 which I run on Mac OS 12.6.2. Is there a way to add the iPhone 4 or iOS 7.1.2 support files from a previous Xcode version that supports iOS 7.1.2 to do this? I'm not interested in the simulator as much as working on the iPhone 4 device. Thank you.
Great tutorial, love xCode. Now I do have one problem. When creating an app for cross platforms meaning I want the users from both iOS and android to be connected, it is probably a bad idea to start programming my app in xCode, because I will need to program the Same app then for android later… is there any good solution programming for both platforms ? And if so how much is it to recommend programming both at once ?
Chris hi I know it’s a long shot but I’m looking to making an app to keep track of employees time clock ins and outs to be able to run payroll a bit faster but have no idea how to do it could you guide me or what else do I have to learn to be able to make a successful time clock app?

Do you have a video on how to install the mac App Store on a computer ? i could not find it among your videos .
haha... "ignore the bad ratings". Dunno why that was an important point to make, when its the only official way to develop apps on for Apple. Anyhow, Maybe i'm doing this the wrong way round, but i always prefer using automated drag and drop first, then see what it does.. finally i am able to learn what the code does much better.. Also helps with troubleshooting.. Because you know what a piece of code does because you did it yourself, rather than just following what others tell you it does, it shines those who have trouble when they don't know how to fix their code, vs the ones who know what it does because they build it themselves. eg. i wouldn't be able to get to GUI stage /clickable buttons without the drag-and-drop Toolbox in Visual Studio to help me get going. To me, that's always a better way, but everyone is different. Is there something like this in xcode?
one question I have (not sure if it was mentioned) - lets say I have an archive file already (built by someone else) and i want to make changes to it - is there a way i can open the archived app back into the "Project" phase and will be able to edit some of the identifier fields? (Entity, BundleID, etc.?)
