Very important lesson I learned while working with Xcode:
Always have multiple major versions installed and ready to be used.

Xcode 9 can't convert old Swift 2.2 project to Swift 4 and can't open the "old" project? Xcode 7 can help you.

Xcode 9 crashes randomly while moving top level packages? Xcode 8 can help you.

Yeah, always funny to find new bugs in Xcode...

    Wut, I've used Visual Studio, Eclipse, and IntelliJ and I've never had to do this.

    Why does XCode even have any influence on the compilers result?

    I’ve been using Xcode for years and while it is a piece of shit I’ve never seen what @monzrmango is talking about.

    However I have had cases where it refuses to build with some weird low level error and you have to actually quit and re-open Xcode to get it to build again.

    Xcode will do different stuff under the same actions. Shit is so buggy and fickle it will make you think you’re dreaming.
