I’m new to Xcode and Objective C, but I’m digging my way through the IDE and noticing that it doesn’t appear to do live syntax checking. If I make a typo, I have to build the project before Xcode will even mention that there’s a problem. Worse still – since it’s returning compiler errors, it’s usually not even the (in)correct line that’s highlighted!
Is there a setting that I’m missing, or is that just what I’m stuck with compiling to check for syntax errors?
Assuming you’re using Xcode 4.*, go to Preferences -> General, select “Enable Live Issues”.
