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 Mountain Lion and 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 4.6.3
• Fixes an issue where debugging in the iOS Simulator could hang on OS X 10.8.4.
Included in Xcode 4.6:
• Includes SDKs for OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion and iOS 6.1.
• Code completion heuristics are more accurate, and use an optimized default data set.
• New compiler warnings help identify potential bugs when using ARC and weak references.
• C++11 support for ‘user defined literals’ and ‘unrestricted unions’ features.
• Debugger can inspect elements within NSArray or NSDictionary objects.
• Analyze now performs deeper cross-function static analysis of Objective-C and C++ code.
• The number of indexing passes is reduced due to improved dependency checking.

How to fix the download problem
Alot of people are mad that they see download but they dont see it downloading. To fix that problem is go to the app store find Xcode hit install again then put in your apple password then hit ok when you hit ok it will download from where it left off.
Powerful, maybe too much?
I've been using Xcode for a short while now and its definitely a powerful IDE.
I like the feature that suggests code for you while you type. It makes writting code more intuitive and interactive.
I felt frustrated with the documentation. Specifically in the "Start Developing iOS Apps Today" section, some of the references haven't been updated for iOS 6.1 and the example figures are somewhat different in appearance.
Overall, its a great IDE for developers already familiar with object-oriented programming languages like Java and C++ but beginners can find it overwhelming and difficult to become familiar with so many terms being thrown at them.
A great IDE
Despite what others might say, in comparison to Visual Studio 2012, MonoDevelop, Net Beans, and Eclipse, this is by far the most stable and feature rich. Good job Apple for maintaining a great quality on the OSX platform.
