You’ll start by downloading Xcode, Apple’s integrated development environment (IDE) for developing iOS apps from the App Store, in the next section.
The size of the download is very large (10.10 GB at the time of writing) so it may take a while to download. Ensure that you have enough disk space prior to downloading.
