Being proficient in using built-in tools in Xcode is an invaluable skill for developers of all levels. It's not just about having access toprofilers and other vital options, but also understanding system frameworks. I covered the topic of working with third-party dependencies (and their potential drawbacks) in a recent channel post. Usingthe built-in tools to their full potential is what sets high-level developers apart and gives them a competitive edge.
For instance, I had the pleasure of listening to a fantastic talk by Eugene Ritshevsky on working efficiently with networks during a past Mobius conference (if you missed it, be sure to check it out). Despite this, many developers still rely on open-source solutions, which can be justified in some cases.
I'd like to share a useful survey by Maxim Grishutin on the most commonly used frameworks related to iOS development:
