What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

A Ruby gem providing the `xcversion` CLI to list, install, update, and select Xcode versions on macOS by automating Apple's Developer Downloads page. The project is being sunset in favor of a migration path, with its last release in May 2024.

Use cases

  • install a specific Xcode version from the command line
  • list available and installed Xcode versions
  • switch the active Xcode version for CLI builds
  • pin an Xcode version for CI with a .xcode-version file
  • download Xcode betas and GM seeds without the browser
  • install Xcode command line tools

When to choose

  • you need to script Xcode installation on macOS CI machines
  • you manage multiple Xcode versions and want easy switching
  • you want to pin Xcode versions per project for a team

When to avoid

  • starting a new setup - the project is being sunset and users should follow the migration guide
  • you need Windows or Linux support - it only manages Xcode on macOS
  • you want a GUI for managing Xcode versions
