Networking in AppCode

AppCode requires Internet connection for a wide variety of tasks. For example:

• Checking for AppCode updates
• Code inspections that can verify external resources
• Communication with the version control servers, task servers
• Anonymous usage statistics

Besides that, AppCode provides IPC for commands (for example, open files), and the built-in Web server.

Some of the communication requirements are configurable:

• To turn off checking for updates, open the Settings | Updates page, and clear the Check for updates in channel checkbox.
• To disable code inspection that highlights dead links, open the Settings | Inspections page, and clear the checkbox to the left of the HTML inspection Non-existent web resources.
• You can control the frequency of sending usage statistics, or even completely disable this function in the page Settings | Usage statistics.
