    Why would you be forced to use Xcode? I’ve been a developer (just not Swift) for years and have never used Xcode.

      Swift.

      There really aren’t any other valid options for building native iOS apps.

      Luckily, we don’t really do much native iOS dev anymore, so I’m just maintaining 3 apps, and not building anything new.

      I only have to fire up the Mac for a few days every few months.
