max macOS to run

The table "Xcode 7.0 - 10.x (since Free On-Device Development)" has a column "min macOS to run". I added a column "max macOS to run" including the one data point for which I had information. On 21:02, 25 March 2019‎ the change was undone by Speakus with the comment "ugly column which does not matter". As an Xcode user, this information matters to me because it tells me, for example, that if I upgrade from macOS 10.13 to 10.14 I will lose the ability to use Xcode 8.3.3. As for "ugly", I don't think aesthetics are the criterion for including information. CLandau (talk) 17:46, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Table too ugly now with this edit cause this info exist only for one Xcode version. Probably it could be added as column "notes" (or similar) after 'Downloadable simulators'. Anyway it would be nice to have some proof link. Also I guess '10.13' is not last cause 10.13.6 is last. So in the 'notes' column you could add something like: ^[2] or (may be better) add to next version note like this: ^[4]. Please do not undo good edits to make attention. You always could ask my attention by adding any comments on my talk page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Speakus Speakus (talk) 18:12, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I added the column :) Fill free to add any useful info to that column (but prooflinks is really appreciated) Speakus (talk) 18:34, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Too much "developing"?

The first line of the article reads:

"Xcode is an integrated development environment (IDE) for macOS containing a suite of software development tools developed by Apple for developing software for macOS, iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and tvOS."

Is it really necessary to use the word "develop" four times in a single sentence? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.21.205.162 (talk) 00:57, 5 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You might want to ask Steve Ballmer about that. :-)

But, yes, that could use some editing. Guy Harris (talk) 20:12, 5 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ha, good point. I just took a stab at it, feel free to tweak it. --Iritscen (talk) 20:13, 5 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Good stuff
