AppCode Interface Builder

Question

Are there any plugins for AppCode so that I can edit and design the user interface like the Interface Builder in Xcode?

I prefer AppCode because it's customizable but it appears to me that it doesn't have its own Interface Builder.

Answer 1

No. JetBrains previously shipped a UI Designer plugin, but have stopped developing it.

For many projects you will be using AppCode in parallel with Xcode. Use each for its strengths: eg. AppCode for writing code, refactoring and debugging, Xcode for Interface Builder and Core Data models. There is an AppCode command Open Project in Xcode, for which you can easily add a keybinding in Prefs -> Keymap

There's no real disadvantage to using AppCode with Xcode as in order to build macOS/iOS projects you need Xcode installed anyway.
