Jetbrains, creators of nearly a dozen professional software productivity tools including ReSharper (for .NET Developers), RubyMine (Cutting-Edge Ruby on Rails IDE) released a pre-alpha version of it’s Objective-C Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for a better, faster, easier, iOS development experience.
AppCode was released under a program titled “Early Access Program” (EAP) earlier this week on Tuesday.
According to JetBrains, the EAP program is pre-alpha release. Jetbrains is looking at the developer community to download and use it and provide valuable feedback on the software, that will then help them come up with a beta and eventually a production release that you will use daily with confidence, with the features that you desire!
AppCode IDE installs on the Mac OS X and allows developers to write, test and debug iOS projects targeted toward the iPhone and iPad app development.
