The xcode8 tag should only be used for questions about the Xcode 8 IDE itself, and not for general macOS, iOS, watchOS, or tvOS programming topics. Use cocoa for Mac programming questions, and cocoa-touch or ios for iOS programming questions.
If the question is related to the Xcode IDE in general (not specific to Xcode 8), use the xcode tag.
