Suggestions for improving the article

Nib / Xib file format revision compatibility in chart(s)

It's nice to see the existing tables that list the tool versions, but I would also like to see the minimum and maximum Nib file versions supported by each release of Xcode. I suppose my purpose here is two-fold: first, to seek confirmation that this additional column of information would be appropriate, and second, to obtain that information and start entering it here. (I have old projects that won't load in the latest Xcode, so it seems like it would be nice to have a reference so I would know how far back in the Xcode release history I need to go in order to be able to load and upgrade an old Nib to the current format version.)

Separate version history article

Most of this article actually covers a detailed overview of previous releases. Would anyone object to moving most of the content (namely, from the sections "Version history", "Version comparison table" and "Toolchain versions") to a separate XCode version history article, leaving a summary on this article with a link to it? This would conform to WP:SPLIT, and match the structure of similar articles in Category:Software version histories. --Waldir ^talk 16:19, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Waldir.

I don't see how your proposal conforms to WP:SPLIT. In fact, I think it does not conform to WP:SPLITSIZE.

Best regards,

I'm not sure I follow. From what I can infer, this article falls well within WP:SPLITSIZE's parameters. Can you elaborate? --Waldir ^talk

Well, 10kB readable prose size. That's well below the ideal size of 30 to 50 kB. Contents are closely related, so no grounds for split there. —Codename Lisa (talk) 00:31, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Version history - differences between 8.3.2, 8.3.3, 9 - not consistent with what it says in app store

App store currently shows 8.3.3 as latest version. "What's new in Version 8.3.3" (in app store) lists all the items that are mentioned in this Wiki as being new in 9.0. Specifically, app store says "Xcode 8.3.3 includes Swift 3.1 and SKDs for iOS 10.3, watchOS 3.2, tvOS 10.2, and macOS Sierra 10.12". ToolmakerSteve (talk) 19:45, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
