so the idea is is the the info that i get from the code Serial.print(); sends the information to an application that i what to make using Xcode is this possible

Serial.print sends the data to the Arduino's hardware serial port. If your Arduino has the conventional USB setup, and the USB port is connected to a PC, and the Arduino USB drivers are installed on the PC, then when the Arduino connects it will create a virtual serial port on the PC which a PC application can open and read to receive the data printed by your sketch. What application you use, and (if it's one you write for yourself) how you write it and what it does with the data is entirely up to you.

Serial.print just sends stuff to the serial port on the board, what you read it with is really your choice, it could be a custom app, the serial monitor, or a terminal program

The Arduino GUI monitor opens the virtual-serial port that the USB driver creates.... Example: com7

You must have the Arduino Monitor closed, then Xcode would be written to open that port. See Apple's references... But below is an example:
