Yes, there are sessions at WWDC that discuss how to make Xcode crash less and improve its stability. The session titled "Xcode essentials" provides tips on debugging and testing, which are crucial for diagnosing and fixing crashes. For example, it discusses using breakpoints effectively and running tests to catch bugs before shipping. You can find more about debugging techniques in the session "Run, Break, Inspect: Explore effective debugging in LLDB," which covers various debugging tools and methods to handle crashes.
Additionally, the session "What’s new in Xcode" introduces new features like the Thread Performance Checker, which helps detect threading issues that could lead to crashes. These sessions collectively provide insights into making Xcode more stable and efficient.
