Xcode used to allow plugins but then disabled them in favor of relatively useless Source Editor extensions which offers nowhere near the capability required to build something like R#.

A stand-alone IDE like AppCode is the way forward, JetBrains usually take a while to get their new IDE's up to speed and catch up with the latest language & platform features, but afterwards is able to add a tonne of smarts and maintain feature parity fairly quickly as they've done with Rider which offers a much nicer & faster UX than VS.NET/R#.
