Take a look in the Xcode Developer Tools folder and you will see quite a collection of programs, most of which we haven’t covered. And indeed from talking with other Mac developers it seems that many of these hardly get used at all. Some, such as the OpenGL graphics audio tools, are specialist utilities that are of interest mainly to developers working in these areas. Others, like USB Prober, IORegistryExplorer, Syncrospector, and iSync Plug-in Maker are advanced utilities aimed at developers who are writing software to communicate or synchronize with external hardware. Those utilities are unlikely to be of interest to you as a learning developer and I won’t be covering them here. Still others are what I call Cinderella utilities: high-quality, useful programs that somehow don’t get the exposure that they deserve.
