The latest version of Apple’s developer toolkit has improved parallelism that the company claims will result in 25% faster project builds. The Xcode 14 download is now 30% smaller and it includes new simulator runtimes for watchOS and tvOS.

Xcode 14 also has a new multiplatform target with a common SwiftUI interface for iOS, iPadOS, macOS and tvOS. Apple said this will make it easier to maintain developer code, while customizing for the specific characteristics of Apple’s different OSes. Apple also added language and editing improvements to Xcode with enhanced autocompletion and more dynamic snippets.
