I always have multiple editors open in #Xcode Most of the time 2, sometimes 3, side by side.

But when I'm working, I keep resizing them, depending on what I'm doing or editing.

I like to configure `Control+Option+Command+=` to "Reset Editor Sizes" in Xcode. This way I can easily reset all of them to their default, equally balanced size.

Until #Xcode26 Beta, resetting the editor sizes had a bug that used to drive me crazy; a vertical line was left there, right in the middle of the editor (the workaround was to use `Command+0` twice after resetting the editor sizes).

In Xcode 26 Beta, this is FINALLY fixed.

Continued thread

The download link for #Xcode 26.0 beta 4 has been updated to be a proper .xip file now, and I have confirmed it is identical to the "XcodeXIP.xip" file that was in the DMG previously.

Additionally, the release notes are up now, and the xcodereleases.com website and API have been updated with the new link. Installing from @XcodesApp should now work as expected.

🚨 #Xcode 26.0 beta 4 is available! 🚨

The SDKs in #Xcode 26.0 beta 4 (build 17A5285i, requires macOS 15.5+) are:

macOS 26.0 (25A5316f)
iOS 26.0 (23A5297f)
watchOS 26.0 (23R5317f)
tvOS 26.0 (23J5316f)
visionOS 26.0 (23M5300f)

Swift 6.2 (6.2.0.14.8)

The xcodereleases.com website, API, and RSS feed have been updated.

NOTE: this release downloads a .dmg file with a .xip inside of it. This doesn't seem right, and we will likely see the download link updated. If this happens, I will update the website data to match.

NOTE: the release notes have not been updated yet.

Last beta season my nemesis was an endless loop problem (a huge hindrance).

This year it's lengthy hangs when I launch my app from Xcode to my iPad. It takes over 3 minutes for the app to start. 🥲

If I'm not connected to Xcode everything is fine.

I've been meaning to learn instruments anyway.

The new Results view for #Xcode Playgrounds in the beta looks nice at first glance, but… Results no longer line up with your code, so you have to visually glance back-n-forth constantly (and often fold up each result manually). AND you can’t see both the results and live view at the same time.

So far seems like a net loss. Are we stuck with this?

I know it's a preview, but Xcode 26 being unable to quit as it wants to close every tab/file first but one keeps re-opening is still an over-the-top bug. #Xcode

I love that Xcode26 can now generate symbols for manually added strings.

I tried for the first time creating a function that returns one of them and got confused why it wasn't compiling.

I didn't notice that it generates a LocalizedStringResource and I was trying to return a String.
