Working with Multiple Xcode Versions

Did you know that you can install and use multiple Xcode versions?

Here's how:

• Head to xcodereleases.com and download your desired release
• Extract and rename it
• Drag it to the /Applications folder

To switch between them, use the xcode-select CLI. 👇

This can be useful if the latest release is cough-cough buggy, and you want to keep the old one around.

Or you just want to have multiple versions installed and easily switch between them.

Note that to use the xcode-select CLI, you will need to install the Xcode command line tools.

You can get them from here (sign-in required):

• Command Line Tools for Xcode

Bonus: Xcodes app

If you want to manage multiple Xcode versions with a mouse click or through a CLI, you can download the Xcodes app:
