The latest version of AppCode, JetBrains IDE Objective-C IDE for iOS and OS X developers, has been updated to fully support iOS7 and has new features that apply to C/C++ as well as to Objective-C.

In common with JetBrains other IDEs - IntelliJ IDEA for Java, WebStorm for JavaScript,  PhpStorm, PyCharm and RubyMine - AppCode offers smart coding assistance such as code completion and automatic import; code generation and refactoring, project navigation, code analysis, debugging and unit testing. AppCode has full Xcode compatibility and version 2.5 fully supports Xcode 5, XCTest, iOS 7 as well as 64-bit iOS Simulator and devices.

In addition it now allows you to work with Xcode 5 Asset Catalogs right from the project view and introduces support for the CocoaPods dependency manager.

Each new release of AppCode brings improved C++ language support with each release adding more smart coding features and 2.5 adds  new code generation options such as Override/Implement, constructor/destructor and getter/setter and supports Google Test, a popular C++ testing framework.

By way of code editing improvements there are new options simplifying and restructuring conditional expressions.

The Move Statement Up/Down (Shift+Cmd+Up/Down) action, familiar to users of IntelliJ IDEA, is now available in AppCode to help you easily move around classes, methods and statements. This feature is available for both Objective-C and C/C++.

App Code 2.5's new Presentation mode, lets you initiate a demonstration of your code and coding process with a single click. There's also better integration with GitHub allowing GitHub users to make pull requests from within the IDE.
