Xcode
By Apple
Open Mac App Store to buy and download apps.
Description
Xcode provides everything developers need to create great applications for Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Xcode 4 has been streamlined to help you write better apps. It has unified user interface design, coding, testing, and debugging all within a single window. The Xcode IDE analyzes the details of your project to identify mistakes in both syntax and logic, it can even help fix your code for you.
Xcode runs on OS X Lion and includes the Xcode IDE, Instruments, iOS Simulator, the latest Mac OS X and iOS SDKs, and hundreds of powerful features:
Innovative tools to help you create great apps
• Interface Builder is fully integrated as a design canvas within the Xcode IDE
• The Assistant shows files related to what you're editing, such as the header, superclass, or controller
• The Version editor shows a live source code comparison through Git or Subversion history
• Live Issues display errors as you type, and Fix-it can correct the mistakes for you
• Apple LLVM compiler is embedded within the IDE with support for Objective-C, C, and C++
• The new LLDB debugging engine is faster and more memory-efficient than GDB
• Instruments adds System Trace and new iOS instruments including OpenGL ES
Streamlined interface that is faster and easier to use
• Design your interface side by side with the backing source code
• Create connections from your GUI design directly to the related source code
• Use tabs to organize your workspace, or double-click to open files in a new window
• Schemes let you customize exactly how your app will build, run, profile, and deploy
• Debugging and console views slide in without disturbing your place in the editor
Professional editor keeps you focused on your code
• Click the Jump Bar at the top of the editor to instantly go to another file
• View message bubbles to see errors, warnings, and other issues right beside the code
• Use the ribbon on the left of the editor to fold your code, or highlight scope
Embedded Apple LLVM technology finds and fixes bugs for you
• Analyzer travels countless code paths looking for logical errors before they become bugs
• Live Issues underlines coding mistakes as you type with no need to build first
• Fix-it can confidently correct mistakes for you with just a keystroke
• Code completion for Objective-C, C, and C++ is incredibly fast and accurate
Instruments for visual performance analysis
• Compare CPU, disk, memory, and OpenGL performance as graphical tracks over time
• Identify performance bottlenecks then dive deep into the code to uncover the cause
• Monitor your app directly, or sample the entire system, with very little overhead
To test or deploy applications on an iOS device you must be a member of Apple's iOS Developer Program. To submit your Mac or iOS apps to the App Store you must be a member of the Mac or iOS Developer Program. Some features may require Internet access.
What's New in Version 4.3.2
Xcode is now distributed as an application, rather than as an installer. This change enables Xcode to be updated directly from the Mac App Store.
• Includes SDKs for Mac OS X 10.7 Lion and iOS 5.1
• New code signing workflow supports signing OS X apps with Developer ID
• Adds installation of command-line tools to the Downloads preference pane
• Open Developer Tool menu launches Instruments, File Merge, and other tools
• ARC migration tool converts both retain/release and garbage collected code
• Additional bug fixes and stability improvements

Like Xcode, Hate Upgrading through App Store
Most of us are professional developers are not average people that need to have standard Apps placed in a particular library, to protect them from themselves and making common mistakes. I'm typing this while I'm waiting for this version of Xcode to install. "Install", what does that mean for a developer vs a user. If you don't understand the difference then pass this comment to someone that does, and hopefully you're not the Apple decision maker that is pushing for this SDK (not a standard App) to be placed with standard Apps.
I've been sitting here a few minutes now with no indication of 1) How far Along the "Install" process has proceeded. 2) Is it truely "Installing" or just downloading. 3) Where is it downloading / "Installing" 4) Is it replacing the previous version (is that required?)
This is an SDK, not a standard App that you can throw in the App store. This is a royal pain for developers. Having it available in the members site is the best. If you want to make it available to more people, place a starter kit here that is a full product demo that can be downloaded, but then point that person to the member site.

broken for command line
Installed it through the lousy app store and agreed to have installer trash the old version in /Developer. First of all, if you develop outside of the Xcode GUI, you'll need to go to Xcode's Preferences/Downloads section to install the comand line tools. Then when you try to compile it won't find any of the standard headers (cmath, etc…). Fix is to do:
sudo mkdir /Developer
sudo ln -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs /Developer/SDKs
Worst Apple Product
As a IDE the first thing you need is stability, and this is the last thing you will receive in this product. There are some many bugs that just make this the worst Apple Product.
First I have never seen a IDE that simply crashed on regular base. I have been working with several IDEs, and even the free ones do not crash.
Depending on this tool is just frustating.
