Questions relating to programming generally belong at Stack Overflow where programming questions are best asked and answered.

Ask Different focuses on consumer use of release software (please - no beta software, no NDA topics) so basic questions like how to install or launch Xcode are fine here. Also, Automator and AppleScript questions that relate to Xcode are most welcome here.

If in doubt, check the Help Center for the latest guidance for Ask Different.
