2.0 beta 1 - The Force Awakens

Introducing v2.0 🎉

A slight redesign

The majority of the information in v1.X was only included in the info pane. While this was sufficient a few years ago, with the newly added Platforms as a separate download, more space was needed. 2.0 now uses a NavigationSplitView with a smaller left view and a larger main view.

The UI has been updated for a more cleaner look

Platforms

You can now download the platforms with the speed of Xcodes and aria2.

XcodesKit

2.0 has the start of a XcodesKit library using Swift Concurrency. This will allow us to more easily share code between the UI and the CLI in the future.

New Requirements

MacOS 13.0 is now required for 2.0

Big thanks!

Thank you to all the contributors over 2023 who have kept adding on functionality to Xcodes and who have supported me via buymeacoffee.com/mattkiazyk

Adds option to create symbolic link at Path Xcode.app (#198) @MattKiazyk

• Some 3rd party services and libraries check specifically for Xcode.app which Xcodes doesn't support as we separate the version numbers. This adds the ability to make a Symbolic Link called Xcode.app that points to the xcode version you want.

Add Preference to make Symbolic Link Automatic on Xcode Select (#200) @MattKiazyk

• In addition to the above enhancement. Go to Preferences > Advanced to automatically create the symbolic link to whichever Xcode version you make Active/Select.
• Note this will not work if you are manually setting via Xcode or command line.

Add check for min MacOS version when installing (#199) @MattKiazyk
