Just wondering if there is a way to enable spell checking in Xcode. Maybe an add-on or something...

Xcode 11 finally adds the long-awaited support for spell checking. Basically, everything inside your source editor can be spell checked: names of variables, methods and classes; string literals (including your localizable strings); comments. It works natively, without any extensions and third-parties. 3.
Check spelling: Choose Edit > Spelling and Grammar > Check Document Now. The first error is highlighted. To show the next error, press Command-Semicolon (;). To see suggested spellings for a word, Control-click it.
How to enable the spell check feature on iOS? In order to enable the spell check feature on iOS, from your Home Screen go to Settings - General, then scroll down and go to Keyboard and scroll down and find the Spell Checking switch. Tap the Spell Checking switch and the Auto-Correction switch to enable them.
Here's how. Click File > Options > Proofing, clear the Check spelling as you type box, and click OK. To turn spell check back on, repeat the process and select the Check spelling as you type box. To check spelling manually, click Review > Spelling & Grammar.
You turn on spelling from the Edit menu (right at the bottom).
Edit: For code files, there's always the compiler, although that won't check comments, and won't stop you from spelling things wrong; it'll only stop you from spelling things inconsistently.
Reedit: In the 4 years since this was posted, the spell checker has moved a little: It is now under Edit > Format > Spelling and Grammar. Format is near, but not at the bottom.

In Xcode 4.5 you need to choose: Edit -> Format -> Spelling and Grammar -> Check Document Now (cmd + ;)
