Exploring code and file management
Xcode 4 includes two new panes at the left and the right that can be revealed or hidden as
needed, using a pair of buttons near the top right of the toolbar. As shown in Figure 1.11, the
left pane, known as the navigation pane, includes a simplified but familiar version of the Groups
& Files pane from Xcode 3. This pane also includes symbol lists, search options, and log listings.
The Get Info feature in Xcode 3 has been replaced by an info view in Xcode 4. As shown in
Figure 1.11, you can display the filename, type, and location in a right pane, which is known as
the utilities pane. This pane gathers miscellaneous information that previously appeared in vari-
ous floating windows. For example, IB’s inspector panes appear here. It also shows build target
and localization information. When you select a file, the contents of this pane are updated auto-
matically. This saves time over Xcode 3’s Get Info pop-up menu feature, which presented this
information in a less accessible way.
