CIDR — pronounced “cider” \ˈsaɪ-də\ — a refreshing drink typically made from apples.

• An Objective-C IDE with a really smart code editor
• Runs on Mac OS X only, on Intel-based computers
• Can open and create Xcode projects
• Integrates with the standard Interface Builder
• Can run iOS Simulator
• Has a debugger with evaluate expression
• Already has ‘Change Signature’ and ‘Extract Method’ refactorings
• Analyses code on the fly and offers quick-fix suggestions
• Oh, and code completion, of course!

Code — Inspect — Debug — Refactor

CIDR Beta (a.k.a. Early Access Program) will be announced soon. Stay tuned!

I am a big fan of Xcode. But competition and variety is always a good thing.

And it has the iOS 4.1 GM seed with it. So well worth downloading as your alternative development environment.

The Xcode 4 Developer Preview is also there. Just in case you missed it.

For all (paid) iPhone Developers this time.
