Using Emacs with Xcode 4?

I want to get rid of the slow Xcode 4 code editor and use Emacs instead. In Xcode 3, I can do this from file type settings , but I cannot find it in Xcode 4.

How to change the editor in Xcode 4?

If for some reason Apple went crazy and removed this feature from Xcode, is there a way to edit xcodeproj from Emacs (add / remove files), and also create and use iPhone Simulator?

Answering your questions:

  • Yes, Apple went crazy and removed the ability to link an alternate editor so that you could not automatically use Emacs as an editor in Xcode4, as it was in Xcode3. You will need to configure the project in Xcode4 and (separately) use Emacs to edit the source files in the project.

  • You can use the "xcodebuild" command line tool to create your Xcode4 project from Emacs. Just google or search SO for earlier posts for some tips on how people do this.

  • To install the application on the simulator and run it from the command line, read the answers to this post .
