Once I start editing my code and adding for loops or if then statements my code indentation is whacked because the previous code maintains its former indentation instead of adjusting automatically.
In Visual Studio you can highlight code and select 'format selection' to fix these issues - is there anything similar in Xcode?
You can do it in different ways, but these two are the easiest
Using shortcut -> (control)^ + i
Click on "Editor" -> Click on "Structure" -> Click on "Re-indent"
You can try my extension Swimat https://github.com/Jintin/Swimat
It support format on selection.
Simple install by brew cask install swimat
Sometimes setting Xcode global preferences is not enough for ^ + i to do its job accordingly. The reason is that project settings override global ones. You can set indentations for a concrete project or even a file.
Select project (or file) in the Navigation Pane. Then in File Inspector go to Text Settings section and set desired number of tabs or spaces for indents.
