Xcode 4.1 Developer Preview 1 Release Notes

New Features

Editing Nib Files

• You can create and edit view-based NSTableView instances.
  Just drag an NSView subclass (usually NSTableCellView) from the Object library into each table column. After connecting the datasource and delegate outlets, implement at least these methods:
  • – (NSInteger)numberOfRowsInTableView:(NSTableView *)tableView
  • – (id)tableView:(NSTableView *)tableView objectValueForTableColumn:(NSTableColumn *)tableColumn row:(NSInteger)row
  You can bind the objectValue property of an NSTableCellView instance in Interface Builder. You can also make action connections from a cell to the cell’s owner, which is usually the table view’s delegate.
  
  
  By assigning identifiers to the view cells, you can use the NSTableView method –makeViewForIdentifier:owner: in the implementation of the table-view delegate method –viewForTableColumn:row:. 7465869

Enhancements

General

• If Xcode or xcodebuild fail to launch:
  • Hold down Shift while launching Xcode
  • Use the xcodebuild -clearPlugInCache option. 9013457

Editing Nib Files

• Building products that require Interface Builder 3 plug-ins may fail because the ibtool command-line tool is unable to locate the required ibpluginplug-in.
  If you have the Xcode 3 toolset installed on your computer, load the plug-in using the Interface Builder 3 preferences window. Otherwise, use this command:

  • defaults write com.apple.InterfaceBuilder3 "IBKnownPluginPaths.3.2.7" -dict-add "<plug.in.identifier.string>" "<path_to_ibplugin>"

New Issues

Performance Measurement and Analysis

• When using the OS X Core Data template, Instruments may hang or stop tracing. 9031942
• When you profile an application running in iOS Simulator, Instruments collects no data.
  To have Instruments collect data, click the Instruments icon in the Dock after it starts recording. 8909180

Known Issues

General

• Nib files with explicit Xcode 3 file types open in the source editor instead of in Interface Builder.
  Set the file type of the nib file in the Identity and Type inspector to “Default,” deselect it in the project navigator, and select it again. 8028406

Editing Nib Files

• Xcode disallows dragging objects in the Interface Builder canvas to the Object library. 8656363

Unit Testing

• Projects that use the Xcode 3 unit-testing tools cannot use the Xcode 4 unit-testing infrastructure.
  To use unit testing in your Xcode 3 projects, set the Test After Build build setting to No. 8803198

• Refactoring: Xcode refactors Cocoa bindings. 8423815

Source Control and Snapshots

• On a project with no snapshots, new snapshots appear in the projects organizer. 8774085

Performance Measurement and Analysis

• Xcode 4.0 Developer Preview 6 installs a set of kernel extension with a version number of 9999, which hinders their upgrade.
  Before installing Xcode 4.0 GM Seed, perform these actions:
  • In Terminal, execute these commands:

    • sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AppleProfileFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleIntelPenrynProfile.kext

    • sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AppleProfileFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleIntelNehalemProfile.kext

    • sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions

  • Install Xcode.
  • Restart your computer. 8844127

New Issues

Editing Nib Files

• Xcode disallows dragging objects in the Interface Builder canvas to the Object library. 8656363

Unit Testing

• The unit-test command-line tools in /Developer/Tools are deprecated.
  To use unit testing in your Xcode 3 projects, set the Test After Build build setting to NO. 8803198

Known Issues

General

• Interface Builder files with explicit Xcode 3 file types open in the source editor instead of in Interface Builder.
  Set the file type of the Interface Builder file in the Identity and Type inspector to “Default,” deselect it in the project navigator, and select it again. 8028406
• The task log viewer is empty when you select the last build task of a project or workspace in the log navigator and the viewer is set to show only recent operations.
  Set the task log viewer to show all operations. 8350930

Editing Nib Files
