Xcode 5 Plugins

Coming from Visual Studio & ReSharper world, you could imagine the state of shock when I was first subjected to the 'Xcode' IDE experience... Now I've just gotten used to it sigh

I've tried JetBrain's AppCode, it worked well for code editing but not so much for debugging and other stuff, went back to Xcode.

Looking for Xcode 5 Plugin recommendations, anything to enhance the IDE.

Thanks!

I recently compiled a list of what I thought were the most useful Xcode 5 plugins (Most of them available through Alcatraz). Here's the list.

There are quite a few plugins for Xcode, many of which haven't been updated for Xcode 5 yet. I think the first resource you'd want to look into is Alcatraz, which is a great package manager for Xcode:

You can install most of the available plugins through Alcatraz.

This depends, hugely, on what type of apps you write and what features you use.

The ones that I'm grateful for every day are Lin+HOStringSense (for inline editing of localized strings and escaped strings, respectively), and ColorSense (for inline display of hardcoded colors, [UIColor someColor] calls, and other good stuff). It's the simple things that matter the most.

(Edit: how could I forget KSImageNamed?! A must for a very image-heavy application I maintain. And VVDocumenter is a nice convenience when you develop libraries for which you intend to autogen Appledoc.)

As I recall, I found all three of these through this list. You might look there as well.
