VWInstantRun is an Xcode plugin that builds and runs only the selected lines of code, printing output directly to the Xcode console without compiling the whole project. It supports both Swift and Objective-C snippets but does not support Xcode 8 or later.

Use cases

  • run a small code snippet in Xcode without building the whole project
  • quickly test a Swift expression and see output in the console
  • try out Objective-C snippet logic instantly
  • verify a tiny doubt about Foundation behavior without a full build

When to choose

  • you are on Xcode 7 or earlier and want instant snippet execution inside the IDE

When to avoid

  • you use Xcode 8 or later, which is unsupported
  • you need to test code that depends on instance properties, self, or other project context
  • you need a replacement for unit tests
