Can you recall any ways in which it was unreliable? How did you use it
in XCode?
In VS, you break/pause somewhere, make some code changes, and then when
you press F10 (step), or F5 (continue), it takes a few seconds
(building), and then it just continues with the new code. Pretty much
seamless.
I just found this: http://injectionforxcode.com/
Yes. They're doing it using the Objective-C runtime ability to change
at runtime the pointer to methods while the older Fix-and-continue
stuff was doing pretty the same thing using a special linker (ZeroLink)
that actually links things lazily at runtime.
