About Watchdog for Xcode
If youre a developer using Xcodeยฎ, you need Watchdog.
Watchdog monitors Xcode and automatically cleans up stale cache files that prevent you from getting a good build. It will save you hours of aggravation dealing with a number of problems you might see including:
โข Old images that youve replaced, still showing up in your app.
โข The DerivedData folder growing continuously over time, often taking up 10+ gigabytes of space.
โข Constants/Defines not updating in the app after youve changed them in the code.
โข Localization file changes not being seen.
โข Phantom breakpoints and/or breakpoints stopping on the wrong line.
โข Xcode refusing to run a build on your device, only reporting something obscure like: "Error launching remote program: No such file or directory"
You will often clean build, quit Xcode, restart your Mac and devices and sometimes even blow away your entire repo and re-clone, just to try and fix some strange bug that doesnt make sense and wont go away - wasting precious hours.
Donโt waste any more time. Install Watchdog.
