1

00:00:00,750 --> 00:00:07,800

Let's install exactly what we need to create our apps, first of all, head over to the App Store on



2

00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:11,940

your Mac, go to the search bar and look up Xcode.



3

00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,570

Xcode is pretty much everything you need in one package.



4

00:00:15,990 --> 00:00:17,160

Go ahead and click it.



5

00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,030

It has three stars out of five, which is a bit poor for Apple.



6

00:00:21,030 --> 00:00:24,170

But hey, that's usually Apple's software in a nutshell for you.



7

00:00:24,660 --> 00:00:25,580

Products are great there.



8

00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,690

Anyway, go ahead and click install.



9

00:00:29,700 --> 00:00:33,210

It should be on the right hand side and then once you've installed it, you can open it.



10

00:00:33,480 --> 00:00:41,880

The other way that you can do this is not that page, but just search Google for Xcode and you should



11

00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:47,040

have the latest release as the first result, which is in this case, Xcode 12.



12

00:00:49,190 --> 00:00:55,310

Right, so once you've got it installed, you're going to click open now, the first time you open Xcode,



13

00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,090

it might ask you to install a whole bunch of stuff.



14

00:00:59,090 --> 00:01:00,060

Just go ahead and do that.



15

00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,400

It takes quite a while, maybe 10, 20 minutes.



16

00:01:02,870 --> 00:01:07,400

Those are all the build tools that you need, that you will need when you're making apps.



17

00:01:08,180 --> 00:01:08,360

Right.



18

00:01:08,450 --> 00:01:15,650

So now that we've done that, the next task is to head over to the window at the top, go to devices



19

00:01:15,650 --> 00:01:17,900

and simulators or hit command shift to.



20

00:01:19,270 --> 00:01:24,350

And inside, you should get a list of simulators that are installed on your machine.



21

00:01:24,670 --> 00:01:32,260

By default, it should have every of the current generation of iPods, iPhones, iPads, cetera, including



22

00:01:32,260 --> 00:01:34,000

simulators for Apple TV.



23

00:01:34,390 --> 00:01:41,350

Now, it's worth noting that these simulators, they work for most things, but a lot of things they



24

00:01:41,350 --> 00:01:41,890

don't work.



25

00:01:41,890 --> 00:01:44,810

And there are quirks to running your apps on a simulator.



26

00:01:45,130 --> 00:01:51,760

So if you find in your coding that something isn't actually working on the simulator, try it on a real



27

00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:57,220

device and in the course will go through how to load these things on a real device, because chances



28

00:01:57,220 --> 00:02:01,210

are it's just the simulator that doesn't work for that particular feature.



29

00:02:02,170 --> 00:02:04,370

To see what devices are connected to your computer.



30

00:02:04,390 --> 00:02:10,510

Just press the devices tab, I have nothing currently connected, but within due course in this course



31

00:02:10,630 --> 00:02:16,270

we will be connecting some stuff that's Xcode all set up and ready to go.
