        :warning: This repository is deprecated, but the results will stay around for posterity. I recommend [Maxim Eremenko' XcodeBenchmark](https://github.com/devMEremenko/XcodeBenchmark) for comparing compile times on different Apple hardware. [See below](#repo-status) for more details. :warning:

Xcode Hardware Performance

==========================

These are the results from running Xcode on a non-trivial open source project using various Macs. The goal is to give developers a relative idea of how each computer model compares to one another. Read the [specifics](#specifications) and [contributing](#contributing) sections for more info.

Specifications

--------------

For the test, I decided to use an app that I actually work on: [eidolon](https://github.com/artsy/eidolon). Unlike most iOS apps, the project is stable and not under active development, so it's a prime candidate for accurate-ish benchmarking.

For "fresh" builds, I cleaned the build folder (⌘⇧K) repeatedly until it worked with no permissions problems. Then I sat and waited for Xcode to index the project. I also made sure the simulator (iPad Air 2) was _closed_, so these times include booting the simulator and launching the app. Each version of Xcode above should use the latest iOS version that it ships with. Then I hit ⌘R and start a timer, only ending it when the app had fully launched.

"Incremental" builds represent a more common use case: changing one file and recompiling with the simulator already running. I added `print("hello!")` to `application(: didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:)` and hit ⌘R, timing the time it took for the app to launch.

I repeated each test a few times and took their average times.

Contributing

------------

~It would be super-cool if we could perform the above tests on a variety of machines and consolidate the results here. Below are the instructions to download the code (compatible with Apple Silicon thanks to @pawelurb), and send a pull request adding your own results. I'd super-appreciate it! :bow:~

This repository is deprecated, but the results will stay around for posterity. [See below](#repo-status) for more.

```sh

git clone -b apple-silicon-compatibility https://github.com/artsy/eidolon.git

cd eidolon

bundle install

bundle exec fastlane oss

```

Repo Status

-----------

This repository was created in 2015 when I worked at [Artsy](https://artsy.net). The main project I worked on at the time ([Eidolon](https://github.com/artsy/eidolon)) was open source, making it an ideal test case for measuring Xcode compile times of real-world apps. However, [I stopped working at Artsy in 2021](https://ashfurrow.com/blog/leaving-artsy/) and Artsy is no longer maintaining Eidolon for compatibility with the latest versions of Swift, Xcode, CocoaPods, and open source dependencies.

I could continue maintaining the repo for Artsy, since Eidolon remains open source, but honestly, keeping this Xcode benchmarking repo maintained is a lot of work, and a [better repository exists](https://github.com/devMEremenko/XcodeBenchmark).

So at the end of 2021, I'm deprecating this repository. It was a hell of a ride. I'm grateful to Artsy for the opportunity to leverage their code for the good of the iOS developer community. And I'm most grateful to dozens of contributors who made this a valuable resource. Thank you, everyone.
