Mind blown. #Xcode autosaves. 🤯

It makes sense upon reflection, but I already had formed a habit in the 90’s of manually saving my files (probably a holdover from working with Visual Studio during that time).

Then, in Xcode I went so far as to always using Option-Command-S for Save All because of the ingrained (and evidently misplaced) file-save-paranoia. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Now I catch myself before doing the awkward keyboard shortcut.

Thanks for liberating me, @siracusa @atpfm @caseyliss @marcoarment 🤣

@evankstone Earlier version of Xcode had an interesting bug about this: If you had two devices open to the same code file saved in iCloud, Xcode would not refresh the changes you saved from on the display for the other , but will refresh the error messages leaving ghost errors. especially bad when xcode and ipad playgrounds are sharing the file

@MakeAppPie The main issue I see with that (and the reason I probably would never see the bug) is having the file stored in iCloud. That gives me major heebie-jeebies. 😬🤣

@evankstone yes. Which is why I see it most with Xcode/iPad Playgrounds where you don’t have much of a choice about that.

@MakeAppPie Ah yes. Of course. Ouch.
