Apple Xcode needs a lot of main memory. Sometimes when you are working on two projects, it becomes tough to handle and the application hangs. Memory optimization could be improved because developers are working on two or three projects together, and at that time it becomes hard to handle when configurations are low. For example, if you have 8GB RAM or 16GB RAM, you need higher GB RAM capacity.In Apple Xcode, if we could connect our Jira stories and user stories that the team has worked on, developers could directly look at the user stories they have worked on and the pull request so they can see the changes done. Currently all these things are already there, but we just need to map it correctly and then we can see the code changes. When creating a larger application with many dependent frameworks, we have the Swift Package Manager which helps resolve dependencies. Sometimes it does not work, so that is an area that could be improved.Apple provides all the technical assistance and is very open about it. You just need to create a ticket and they follow up on those tickets.
Apple Xcode's usability for developers needs enhancement. It consists of multiple components and needs a simplified process. This particular area could be more stable.

We would like a 'light' version of this solution to be developed, as it currently uses a lot of memory space. We would also like there to be a short-key to copy and paste text, to use similar code, or for code sync to be included into this product.

Once you install the product and add a lot of command line prompts and installations and then use the multiple simulators planned for many phones, tablets, and other devices, it increases the size of Xcode. Eventually, it reduces your laptop performance, really slowing down your computer. Files mount up, and you don't know where they are. You need to know the complete system and do a proper cleanup; otherwise, it's impossible. If you have a lot of basic Mac devices, the 250 GB or 126, 125 GB laptop, it really sucks. So the product would be improved by a mechanism to do regular cleanups.
There should be additional documentation on App Store deployment. In terms of features, they're pretty much on top of where they need to go. I've been happy with its progress so far. As things evolve, they need to evolve to match that need.
