Have you seen this question? Which version of AppCode are you using? – Might

Version 2017.2.3. – Antifriction

Answer 1

I've asked AppCode help center directly and this answer worked. Hope it helps someone too.

Try building the target against device (instead of simulator) and reopen .swift file: in-editor warnings should work after that.

Answer 2

I'm afraid it doesn't work for me in AC 2021.2.2. Here's my version infos:

AppCode 2021.2.2 Build #OC-212.5284.45, built on September 14, 2021 Runtime version: 11.0.12+7-b1504.28 aarch64 VM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o. macOS 11.4 GC: G1 Young Generation, G1 Old Generation Memory: 4096M Cores: 8 Registry: max.suggested.heap.size=8192 Non-Bundled Plugins: com.intellij.plugin.applescript (0.121), com.appcodeplugins.swiftlint (1.13.4)

Edit: it seems to be a known and very recent issue with XCode 13.
