## README

`XcodeBenchmark` contains a *large* codebase to measure the compilation time in Xcode.

You are probably familiar with the following question:
> "Should I buy an i5, i7, or even i9 processor for iOS/macOS development?".

`XcodeBenchmark` is initially created for [Max Tech](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCptwuAv0XQHo1OQUSaO6NHw) YouTube channel to compare the performance of new iMacs 2020.

I believe the results will help developers to make the right *cost/performance* trade-off decision when choosing their next Mac.

## Set up

**Since Oct 23, 2021, XcodeBenchmark only supports Xcode 13.0 or above.**

- Download and install [Xcode](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/xcode/id497799835).
- Open Xcode and install `additional tools` (Xcode should suggest it automatically).
- [Download](https://github.com/devMEremenko/XcodeBenchmark/archive/master.zip) and unarchive XcodeBenchmark project.

## Before each test

1. Disconnect the network cable and turn off WiFi.
2. Make sure to disable all software running at startup
    - Go to `System Preferences` -> `Users and Groups` -> `User` -> `Login Items`.
    - Empty the list.
3. Update `Battery` settings 
    - Go to `System Preferences` -> `Battery` -> `Battery/Power Adapter` -> `Turn display off`  and set 15 min.
3. Reboot and cool down your Mac.
4. Connect to the power adapter if you're using a MacBook.

## Running a test

1. Open the `Terminal` app.
2. Write `cd ` and drag & drop `XcodeBenchmark` folder to the `Terminal` app to form `cd path/to/xcode-benchmark`.
2. Run `sh benchmark.sh` in `Terminal`.
3. When `XcodeBenchmark` has completed you will see [this information](img/contribution-example.png).
4. Upload your results, see [Contribution](https://github.com/devMEremenko/XcodeBenchmark#contribution) section.

**Q: What do the results mean?**
1. First of all, the project is **huge**. Most projects are of a much smaller size.
2. The results show *relative* performance in Xcode, compared to other Macs running under similar conditions.

**Q: Why is CocoaPods not excluded from git-repo?**
- The project is also used by non-programmers. Let's *keep it simple*.

**Q: Will it affect my other Xcode projects?**
- A separate build folder is created for the benchmark run that is then deleted after it finishes. The folder goes to about 2.5GB.
