AP Computer Science Principles

I am teaching the AP CSP course using the Everybody Can Code APCSP eBook. When my students run Xcode 10 on their Mac Minis to work through the playgrounds, many times the program is very lagging, results do not show up on the right sidebar, and often get the Developer Tools pop up that requires my admin password.


I have tried a couple different Terminal commands enabling developer mode, but there is no success with just doing that.


Any advice to get these computers running smoothly with Xcode would be greatly appreciated.

What is the hardware made up of on those minis 9ram, drive size/speed)? What model are they?


Strictly anecdotal, but my late 2012 mini (16GB ram) seems to be much happier w/the latest release version Xcode 11 than it ever was w/10.x
