Xcodes

Xcodes.app provides a graphical interface for managing multiple Xcode installations on macOS. It queries version data from Xcode Releases and the Apple Developer site, allowing users to download any listed Xcode version automatically. The download engine uses aria2 for multi‑connection transfers, and the app can resume interrupted installs. After installation, a single click invokes `xcode-select` to make the chosen version active, and release notes, OS compatibility, SDKs, and compilers are displayed for reference.

The tool also handles ancillary components such as Apple runtimes, platform SDKs, and Apple Silicon versus Universal variants, installing them with the same click‑based workflow. An optional experiment leverages the unxip library to speed up archive extraction, though it may increase memory usage. The application supports macOS 11+ (v1), macOS 13+ (v2 and v3) and offers dark and light themes, security‑key authentication, and localization in many languages contributed by the community.

Xcodes is distributed as a free, open‑source, notarized macOS app and can be installed via Homebrew cask or by downloading the signed zip from the releases page. A command‑line counterpart, `xcodes`, is available for users who prefer terminal‑based management.
