Getting Started

The new debugger area no longer appears in a separate window, although for convenience you may
decide to launch it in one. On a smaller monitor, the debugging and console area can feel cramped.
Comparing iOS and OS X Development
Although Xcode supports OS X and iOS development equally and it can be used to develop
apps for both the iOS and Mac App Stores, there are significant differences between the two
platforms.
Developing for OS X
OS X development in Xcode 4 is build-and-go. There are no restrictions on development, test-
ing, or distribution. You can create applications that run in a debugging environment on your
own Mac and package them as applications that you can run independently, sell from a web-
site, or prepare for network distribution. You can also create Mac apps for the App Store—but
this is one development option, and not an obligation. Figure 1.14 shows a simple OS X applica-
tion using a template as a starting point.
