Procession Tell me when it’s out

Parts of apps

SourceKitServiceXcode build tools

◐ Close the app instead

Builds code or understands it for Xcode.

What it is

The compiler and services Xcode runs while you build, index or preview.

Why it might be busy

During a build or after opening a project. Usually until the build finishes.

If you close it

The build or code completion stops. Stop the build in Xcode instead.

The verdict

◐ Close the app instead. A part of an app. Closing it alone breaks something, so close its app.
