How do you disable auto build in xcode

Question

The latest Xcode builds while coding... It gets stuff wrong and slows my Mac down. How do I disable this and have it build on demand?

Answer 1

If you have any IB_DESIGNABLE in source files, the system's live tracker will check for issues in StoryBoard too. It may leads to unnecessary building.

To disable it-

Open Storyboard file. Editor -> Automatically Refresh Views (Uncheck)

If you needs to Disable Live issue tracking

XCode -> Preferences -> General -> Issues -> Uncheck Live Issues

Answer 2

Go to Preferences -> General and disable Live Issues in Editors and in Issue Navigator

Update: It's called Show Live Issues in the latest Xcode versions
