Coding C in Xcode?

Hi guys, I started studying Computers Engineering. I got a programming class and its a C course. I have worked quite a bit with C++ in the past. But I don't know very much about C.
In XCode when I start a new project, what kind of document should I choose for C programming ??
PS: I also have to make a programming project to solve a real "engineering problem" for the end of the semester ( nothing very complex ) , and It can also be an app for the ordinary user and not focused for engineering purposes. Any ideas? I would love to hear suggestions since I am pretty new to coding.
Thanks!

Nicolas--
I imagine what you're looking for is the "Standard
Tool" from the "Command Line Utilities" section when
you make a new project with Xcode. That choice is for
the ANSI C type of program you're most likely to
start out with in a class.
charlie
Thanks a lot, that was exactly what I was looking for.
About UNIX programing , I am very familiar with it , I use gcc a lot , the thing is that I am used to work with XCode and C++ , thanks a lot guys
Wish me luck with the class

C++ project works, but where is the .app for it? (Newbie question)

Friends, a simple question:
I open xCode 3.0 on Leopard and I make a new project (named "count2") using the command line utility C++ tool and enter the following application:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
int i, n;
// Get a number from the keyboard and initialize i.
cout << "Enter a number and press RETURN: ";
cin >> n;
for (i = 1; i <= n; i++) // For i = 1 to n,
cout << i << " "; // Print i.
return 0;
The application compiles and runs well.
So my question is, where is the application that I can take from this project, and move to my Applications folder so every time I want to use this application I can simply double click it? I searched for count2.app, but cannot find it.
Thanks amigos, -Migs

Excellent Psycho. I have made a small Xcode tutorial and would like to post it here. Where do you suggest? Following is the text:
C++ Programming on Macintosh OS X Leopard
Many of you will want to get from your C++ textbook to a working application on your Mac quickly. Fortunately the Mac has an extremely powerful integrated design environment (IDE) that is available for free on every Mac that runs OS X, It’s called Xcode Tools. It can develop in many more languages than C++ so at first it may seem a bit overwhelming, but later, as your needs grow it will be a formidable tool in your arsenal. For now, all you need is the installer DVD that came with your Mac or a Mac OS X install DVD. (If you don’t have either of these you can also download the installer from Apple here http://developer.apple.com/tools/download/) I’m going to show you how to install Xcode for Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) from the DVD, but the process is very similar for other previous versions of the Mac OS. Getting to your first running application is a little convoluted, so that is what this tutorial will help you to accomplish quickly.
First you will install Xcode tools on your Mac since it is not installed by default when you upgrade your OS or install the OS for the first time. (Just to be sure it wasn't previously installed you can check by opening your Macintosh volume (not your User folder) and seeing if it contains a folder named “Developer” . If not, you need to go ahead and install it as follows:
Insert your Mac OS X DVD and open Optional Installs. Open Xcode Tools. Double click the XcodeTools.mpkg package and install it on your Mac.
In order to make using the Xcode IDE easier to access, open the Developer folder on your Mac, then the Applications folder and drag Xcode.app to your dock.
Now you are ready to begin coding, so open Xcode Tools from your Dock and dismiss the “Welcome to Xcode” pop up. Select File/New Project and open Command Line Utility in the New Project Assistant. Now select C++ Tool and click Next. Choose a name for your project (It can be the name of your program) and were to save it. A project window will appear with the name you chose for your project. You may wonder what all the Groups and Files on the left side of the window are for, and though overwhelming, you must know that the Xcode Tools IDE which you are using allows you to make full blown applications which require all these parts, and not just the code you want to learn with in your first “Hello World” program. Fortunately all we need to focus on is one file that will be where you will edit your code. On the left hand pane entitled “Groups & Files” open the Source folder, then select the “main.cpp” file and in the same window click on the “Editor” button. You will also need a Console to view your program output, so in the main menu select Run/Console and open both windows so you can edit and view your code and your results simultaneously. Notice that the main.cpp window already has a sample program listing inside as a help to get you started. Here you can replace everything with your own code, and that is what you will do on your own, but for now let’s use the code they have in the default just to show you what to do next to get output out of the application. Click the “Build and Go” Button on the editor and watch the Console to see the results of your code execution. Now that you are done, go ahead and choose an example from your textbook and make a new project from scratch. Doing so will cement the steps in your head. -Migs (Miguel Reznicek)

Air 3.3 and Mac app store?

The release notes for Air 3.3 suggest that you can package for the Mac (desktop) app store but I cant find any documentation on how this is achieved? Has any one done this?

EDIT : I have completely rewritten my post and made it complete so that if anyone subbles directly on this, all infos and links on building on the app store are on the same page.
Air 3.3 DOES support sandboxing for the Mac App Store. You have to enable it in the .app entitlements, just as you have to do it when coding directly from XCode.
Our App just got approved today using those exact steps!
1 - Follow all required step to build your (yet) unsigned .app. There is a pretty complete walkthrough here, just add the following steps to the codesign related steps : http://pigsels.com/2012/04/air-app-store-publishing-guide/ .
2 - You now need to add 2 icons in the generated YourApp.app/Contents/Resources/Icons.icns file : 512x512 and 1024x1024 (yeah, that's huge, it's for retina display). I did this on Windows using a trial version of IcoFx, I don't know on Mac but a little googling should do the trick in no time. Note that you MUST do this before signing the app.
3- Create an entitlements.plist file that defines sandboxing as enabled
entitlements.plist :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<plist version="1.0">
    <dict>
        <key>com.apple.security.app-sandbox</key>
        <true/>
    </dict>
</plist>
4- When you codesign your application, define entitlements with previously created file. This will NOT overwritte the Info.plist file found in YouApp.app/Contests. Also note that paths can be relative.
codesign command :
codesign -f -v -s DEVELOPER_CERTIFICATE_NAME --entitlements /path/to/entitlement.plist /path/to/YourApp.app/
source : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8385252/how-to-build-sandboxed-app-without-xcode
NOTE : I don't know if you need to enable sandboxing for each of the Adobe bundles you have to sign with your developer certificate. In the end, I didn't do it, we'll see what Apple will decide.
5 - Confirm that sandboxing is enabled by running the following command. Don't forget the lonely ' - ', it specifies standard output as display output. You should see the path of the executable followed by the content of your entitlements.plist file. If not, you did something wrong and you should check out step 1,2 or 3 again.
codesign display entitlements command :
codesign --display --entitlements - /path/to/YourApp.app
6 - Package and submit your app by following the rest of the instructions on http://pigsels.com/2012/04/air-app-store-publishing-guide/ . Note that you MUST specifiy /Applications as the installation path or else you won't be able to submit your app to Apple
product build command
productbuild –component /path/to/bundle.app INSTALLATION_PATH /path/to/installer.pkg –sign INSTALLER_CERTIFICATE_NAME
There you go!

C++ coding (void) how to use it in Xcode .

hi . im not a developer. i just a student. im trying to compile my coding in c++ via Xcode in my #MAC . but my coding got stucked .
this ::
>> void setData(int value); BubbleSort (dataType[], int listSize)
the error appear [Expected '.' after top level declarator ].
sorry im not good. and i dont know what to do with my coding to get it run ..
i've try to search simple c++ program.. like the one using username std . type back in my xcode as a new c++ project but it's run good. so i guess it's not problem from my xcode application.
i just type simple coding from my book for my class today . maybe i have left something because i never use this xcode before...
can u help me .?

etreaoft : as i said im only a student and i just try and error for everything now. lecturer teach and giv me the coding... but i dont know how to make it work . :(

So please tell me how to do the same and is there any pre stalled text editor on mac if yes then where and if no then which text editor to install and how to install gcc...please help me out thanks in advance !!!

I have started with writing c code on mac using xcode .....but one of my friend told me to use gcc for coding.
Why? If you are developing and writing code on a Mac why would you not use the tools Apple has given you? And Xcode, once you get use to it, is a very nice development environment that will make you life a whole lot easier.
If you insist on using an editor and the terminal I would recommend Emacs but it has a long learning curve so something like TextWrangler will work too.
As for the compiler if you have Xcode installed install the command line tools and you will be able to compile from the terminal.
good luck

I can't get SDL 1.2 to run in Xcode 5

Up until recently, I've been using an eight year old iMac running OS X 10.6, but I just bought a brand new six core Mac Pro with OS X 10.10, and I've been trying to get my old SDL 1.2 programs to run.
I installed Xcode 5 on my new computer (I had read several bad reviews about Xcode 6). I tried opening my old Xcode docs and they wouldn't compile, which I figured might happen, so I went back to the same tutorial video that I used to set up SDL 1.2 on my old computer: http://youtu.be/d3TPsUAO3L4
And I tried to create a test project just to see if I could get the SDL window to open, but it still wouldn't compile. I got this long list of errors. These are a few of them:
/SDL1-2_SetUp/SDLMain.m:50:12: Cast of C pointer type 'CFDictionaryRef' (aka 'const struct __CFDictionary *') to Objective-C pointer type 'const NSDictionary *' requires a bridged cast
/SDL1-2_SetUp/SDLMain.m:166:16: 'release' is unavailable: not available in automatic reference counting mode
/SDL1-2_SetUp/SDLMain.m:166:16: ARC forbids explicit message send of 'release'
/SDL1-2_SetUp/SDLMain.m:167:15: 'release' is unavailable: not available in automatic reference counting mode
/SDL1-2_SetUp/SDLMain.m:167:15: ARC forbids explicit message send of 'release'
/SDL1-2_SetUp/SDLMain.m:182:15: 'release' is unavailable: not available in automatic reference counting mode
/SDL1-2_SetUp/SDLMain.m:182:15: ARC forbids explicit message send of 'release'
Anyway, I don't really understand what this all means, but I didn't get these errors with my SDL projects on my old computer, so I'm wondering if this is because SDL 1.2 is so old it won't run on a current OS? I spent so much time on these programs and I'd really like to be able to run them again, but I don't have the knowhow to update all my code for SDL 2.0. If anyone has any ideas on how to get SDL 1.2 to run in Xcode 5, I'd be so grateful! And keep in mind that I'm still fairly new to coding (as you've probably guessed), so please try to give me the preschool version! Thank you.

The problem is not with the Xcode project folder hierarchy. Your problem is a flaw in the Mac version of SDL 1.2. When you add image files to an Xcode project, Xcode places them in the Resources folder of your application bundle. But the Mac version of SDL 1.2 sets the working directory to the directory containing the application bundle so your game can't find the image files.
There are two ways to solve the problem. The manual way is to go into your game's app bundle and move the image files from the Resources folder to the directory containing the app bundle. Select your app, right-click, and choose Show Package Contents to access your game's app bundle. The better way is to change the working directory to the app bundle's Resources folder. To change the working directory, open the SDLMain.m file and modify the setupWorkingDirectory: method. The following code sets the working directory to the app bundle's Resources folder:
NSString *resourcePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath];
[[NSFileManager defaultManager] changeCurrentDirectoryPath:resourcePath];
SDL 2 fixes a lot of annoyances with setting up SDL on OS X. You should look into it.

Is it possible to display the content of complex mutlidimensional datastructures (e.g. std::vectors (dim = 2) of (non-primitive) types) in Xcode debugger?

Hi,
First, let me say that I like Xcode and coding in OS X. However, there is something I miss:
Let me demonstrate what i mean:
This is the representation of a 2D-Vector in Xcode Debugging environment:
v          'std::vector<std::vector<int, std::allocator<int> >, std::allocator<std::vector<int, std::allocator<int> > > >'          [{...}]
0          'std::vector<int, std::allocator<int> >'          [{...}]
1          'std::vector<int, std::allocator<int> >'          [{...}]
2          'std::vector<int, std::allocator<int> >'          [{...}]
3          'std::vector<int, std::allocator<int> >'          [{...}]
4          'std::vector<int, std::allocator<int> >'          [{...}]
5          'std::vector<int, std::allocator<int> >'          [{...}]
6          'std::vector<int, std::allocator<int> >'          [{...}]
7          'std::vector<int, std::allocator<int> >'          [{...}]
8          'std::vector<int, std::allocator<int> >'          [{...}]
So, the above representation is what I would call bad (even useless).
The problem is that the current Linux Kernel (3.1.1) has some problems with the new MBA 2011 (which is really sad) so I can not show you the representation of a 2D-Vector in Qt-Creator for Linux right now (I'm not sure if the Qt-Creator for OS X could display the content properly, since I've never tried it). But you can believe me, that the represantation would look something like the one in Eclipse (which would be a good representation).
So my question: is there a "fix" for this?

What you want is a custom data formatter. I would give you some links, but my iPad wants to convert them into the documentation viewer.
You aren't going to find much help with C++ debugging. While Apple's Clang has made great improvements in C++ support compared to GCC, C++ is really not something that Mac or iOS programmers typically use. The Cocoa containers and objects are so much more versatile. You kind of have to have a masochist streak and a 7 year development schedule to use C++. C++ is experiencing a bit of a resurgence, especially in defense markets. For a long time, compilers had such poor support for C++ that it just wasn't possible. After simplifying the language a little, compilers can now compile and link C++. Consultants have realized they can provide C++ services and burn though billable hours better than any other language on the market. Independent developer, however, don't have those schedules and budgets so they tend to use NSArray. Xcode supports it better in the debugg and, chances are, you don't need to debug it anyway. There are a number of matrix classes built on Cocoa.

Dashcode is not working in Mountain Lion. I tried updating to Xcode 4.4 and it still did not work . . .

Dashcode is not working in Mountain Lion. I tried updating to Xcode 4.4 and it still did not work . . .
I use dashcode for most of my coding needs, so it is very important to me!

I have the same problem too. dashcode shows up in the finder but its just a question mark (see screenshot). Anyone found a way to address this?
Thanks!

2 simple questions on Xcode for the experts out there

hey. I have just started programming in C++ and am getting good results in the command line tool in xcode.
I am trying out my own programmes based on what I am learning from a C++ book. However, there seems to be an issue with one of the things I have learned.
Acording to the book I can use a getline statement to allow a user to input a string with spaces such as a whole sentence instead of one word.
Well when ever I use getline, xcode reports no errors (build succeeded) however it always skips over the getline and moves to the next part of the code.for example,
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
//This is just a random example.
int main ()
    string first;
    string last;
    cout <<"what is your first name?";
    cin >>first;
    cout <<"what is your middle and last name?";
    getline (cin, last);
    cout <<"hello" <<first <<" " <<last;
    return 0;
if it is my code please say. But xcode only excepts my first name then skips right to hello.
It does not pause to let me input middle and last. How can I fix this?
Second question is I am viewing everything in the debug console. How do I get my code to run in terminal?
Thank you so much to everyone that answers.

Saad Attieh wrote:
So how do I get this to run in terminal.app? Will it run any differently?
That is how I ran it. It runs the same.
The easiest way is to just inspect the build output , find the temporary path it uses, and go there. For simple programs like this, you can just type them in with vi and compile with clang++.
Oh yeah and do you know if and how I can use c++ to create a full application in Xcode? As in what template do I choose? According to the user guide I have to choose a carbon application template or something like that if I want to make a application with the usual quit and minimise etc buttons. But I cannot find that so I am feeling very silly.
Also, looking a head into the future what are the best languages to use for coding in Mac OS X?
You should use Objective-C for building MacOS X programs. If you are building command line tools or libraries, you could just use C++. There isn't anything on the Mac that requires C++.
If you really wanted to, you could write the Mac parts in Objective-C and your own routines in C++ and connect them with C linkage. Another option would be to use Objective-C++. The core operating system and especially user interface libraries are all designed for Objective-C. It isn't smart to fight against the system.
In practice, C++ is just an awful language. Anything you might want to use C++ for can be more easily done in Objective-C. I spent 15 years writing C++ software. I really enjoyed it, but I realized that I enjoyed it because it was hard - like a puzzle. That approach isn't conducive to effective software development.

Xcode, how do you take an app from an idea to a data model, data structure, or class structure?

Hey everyone!
I'm a beginner xcoder and computer engineering sophomore and have literally spent every hour of the past few weeks reading as much as I possibly can about becoming a developer.
I've found plenty of documentation, and guides on how to do very specific things in xcode and objective-C but am still looking for more information on one topic; how do you decide which data models/structures/controllers etc to use?
I mean, you personally. I've been looking for a resource on this and have not been able to find one. I just finished Apple's iOS Developers Guide and they mention "choosing a data model" but do not describe them in much detail.
The following is what is provided in the guide:
● Choose a basic approach for your data model:
● Existing data model code—If you already have data model code written in a C-based language, you
can integrate that code directly into your iOS apps. Because iOS apps are written in Objective-C, they
work just fine with code written in other C-based languages. Of course, there is also benefit to writing
an Objective-C wrapper for any non Objective-C code.
● Custom objects data model—A custom object typically combines some simple data (strings, numbers,
dates, URLs, and so on) with the business logic needed to manage that data and ensure its consistency.
Custom objects can store a combination of scalar values and pointers to other objects. For example,
the Foundation framework defines classes for many simple data types and for storing collections of
other objects. These classes make it much easier to define your own custom objects.
● Structured data model—If your data is highly structured—that is, it lends itself to storage in a
database—use Core Data (or SQLite) to store the data. Core Data provides a simple object-oriented
model for managing your structured data. It also provides built-in support for some advanced features
like undo and iCloud. (SQLite files cannot be used in conjunction with iCloud.)
● Decide whether you need support for documents:
The job of a document is to manage your app’s in-memory data model objects and coordinate the storage
of that data in a corresponding file (or set of files) on disk. Documents normally connote files that the user
created but apps can use documents to manage non user facing files too. One big advantage of using
documents is that the UIDocument class makes interacting with iCloud and the local file system much
simpler. For apps that use Core Data to store their content, the UIManagedDocument class provides similar
support.
I suppose my question boils down to, how do you decide which structures to use? If you can provide an example of an app idea and how its implemented that would be very helpful and much appreciated!
For example, to implement the idea of an app which allows users to progress through levels of knowledge of a certain subject and rewarding them with badges and such (this is not an actual app just a whim) how would one model that?
Thanks in advance for all your help!!!

Trial and error.
I wish I had a better answer for you, but that pretty much encapsulates it. There is some, but not much, good wisdom out there, but it takes a significant amount of experience to be able to recognize it. The software development community if currently afflicted with a case of copy-and-paste-itis. And the prognosis is poor.
The solution is to be brutal to yourself and others. Focus on what you need and ignore everything else. Remember that other people have their own needs and methods and they might not be applicable to you. Apple, for example, can hire thousands of programmers, set them to coding for six months, pick the best results, and have the end-users spend their own time and monety to test it. If you don't have Apple's resources and power, think twice about adopting Apple's approach. And I am talking from a macro to a micro perspective. Apple's sample and boilerplate code is just junk. Don't assume you can't do better. You can.
Unfortunately, all this takes time and practice. You can read popular books, but never assume that anyone knows more than you do. Maybe they do and maybe they don't. It takes time to figure that out. Just do your best, ignore the naysayers, and doubt other people even more than you doubt yourself.

XCode 3.2 codesense not working for functions in OpenGL and GLUT frameworks

I'm working on a small OpenGL project (coded in C), and am trying to make the switch from emacs to XCode 3.2, in part because I thought codeSense would be a great tool. I've successfully imported the project to XCode as an External Build System project, that is, I'm compiling using make with my own Makefile. Everything builds and launches fine now, I just have an issue with the codeSense auto completion.
Auto complete is working fine for header files that I've defined myself and live locally in my project directory; I get full function prototype suggestions for any function I've defined myself. However, I never get suggestions for any function defined in the header files associated with OpenGL or GLUT frameworks.
I have included references to the frameworks in my project, and they do show up as being associated with the project target when I look at the info associated with the framework. However, if I dive into the framework and click on individual header files and click on Info for those, those do not appear to be associated with the project target.
I've rebuilt the codeSense index multiple times. This has no effect on my problem.
The source code itself obviously links with the frameworks correctly, since my project runs and looks fine.
I guess my question is twofold: Will CodeSense give me prototypes for frameworks associated with my project? If so, are there any suggestions out there to get me on my way?

This appears to be a conflict between the static code analysis tools (Clang) and CodeSense. See
http://www.openradar.appspot.com/7338181
I turned off the "Run Static Analyzer" build setting and clicked on the "Rebuild Code Sense Index" under general and it solved the problem for me. However, I want static code analysis too.

Best option is to use Windows Migration Assistant as Ralph noted.
Here's a better (updated) link to Windows Migration Assistant for Lion -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4796
Or if you only want iTunes (Migration Assistant let's you choose) copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from your PC to /Music/ on the Mac.

Trying to create first iPhone app, use Interface Builder or Xcode first?

I'm trying to create my first iPhone App, do I start with Interface Builder or Xcode first? And how do I link the two together?

It's not really that simple -- you'll be working with both. Interface Builder is used to design the GUI (graphical user interface, which consists of the windows and buttons and text fields and so forth, the parts of the application that your user interacts with). Xcode, on the other hand, is used to write the code that tells that GUI what it's supposed to do, and how to do it. So, to answer your question as best I can -- generally, I would imagine you would want to start by creating the basic form of your GUI in Interface Builder and then start coding where appropriate in Xcode, then you'll move back and forth between the two (Xcode and Interface Builder) as needed.
If you're new to programming and want to start with iPhone apps, I recommend picking up a book on the topic (Apress publishing has a book called "Beginning iPhone 3 Development: Exploring the iPhone SDK" that is a good one, and don't forget to take advantage of Apple's iOS Dev Center, which has lots of good documentation on most any topic that will be helpful in supplementing the information in the book you buy -- click [here|http://developer.apple.com/iphone/index.action] to go there).
Keep in mind, however, that trying to learn to program iPhone apps will be difficult (to say the least) if you don't already know Objective-C, and the Apress book I recommended above will not be easy to follow without understanding Objective-C first. Objective-C an object-oriented extension of C, and it is the programming language that is used to develop iOS apps (apps for the iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad). I would definitely recommend learning Objective-C on the Mac before jumping in to iPhone development in specific. Apress has another book called "Learn Objective-C on the Mac" that I would recommend for this.
Furthermore, since Objective-C is an extension of C, you won't have an easy time learning it without a prior understanding of the C programming language. Again, Apress has a book for this, called "Learn C on the Mac."
Put simply, learning to program for the iPhone is not something that comes overnight -- it's a step-by-step process that takes patience, and you have to be willing to go through these steps if you want to learn to program properly for the iPhone.
Step 1 -- learn the C programming language
Step 2 -- learn the Objective-C programming language
Step 3 -- apply your knowledge to developing for iOS (iPhone's operating system) with the Cocoa Touch framework
Anyways, that's just my advice -- I definitely recommend taking the time to do it right and not jumping straight into the deep end, but in the end only you know what works best for you. Also, like I said, I definitely think investing in a book on the subject is worth the time and money, so let me know if you want any other recommendations for books beyond the ones listed above.
Hope this was helpful to you, and best of luck with your journey toward programming for iOS.

How to understand the Xcode?

Through my whole life using computers generally, I have figured out that any software could be well understood by practice, but actually the case here seems much different.
My question is not regarding the interface, structure of the project...etc, I would like to understand the coding itself, where and when every code to be used and how it works, there are lots of codes those can be used in different cases, It is not possible that one person can understand every single tip of the Xcode or any other programming language, but I want to know at least which way should I take (courses, books, tutorial....), I want something that gives the general idea and concept of the things.
I am developing a game now, succeeded in creating some different pages of the game where it take you to the setting, high score...etc with some simple graphics, linked them together using the available options, but to make the game work it needs pages of coding, looking for sample codes is also not practical in my opinion.
I believe that understanding the top used 100 code in my opinion will be sufficient for a beginner.
Thanks

Xcode is the IDE.
Objective-C is the language typically used.
There's lots of getting started stuff at https://developer.apple.com
