How Does Xcode Use The Macbook Pro Touchbar?


I am looking at getting the 13 inch macbook pro with the touchbar. I am going to be using it for Xcode development. I was wondering how does Xcode use the touchbar. Meaning that what function keys for xcode come up on the touchbar?


Solution

  • From this article:

    New features in the IDE to support Touch Bar development include:

    • Touch Bar displays context-specific buttons when in the Xcode editor, commit sheet, navigator and Interface Builder.
    • Debug button in the Control Strip lets you pause and inspect your app while Xcode is in the background.
    • Interface Builder button updates the frames of selected objects and their children.
    • Classes in Interface Builder make it easy to add Touch Bar features to your Mac apps.
    • Touch Bar simulator works on any Mac so you can see how your app works with the Touch Bar.
