## プロジェクトの歴史と使われ方

xcodes is a Swift command-line tool for installing, listing, selecting, and removing multiple versions of Xcode. It fills the same role for Apple's IDE that language version managers fill for Ruby, Node, or Python projects.

### プロジェクトの歴史

The repository was created on 2019-02-22 and shipped its initial 0.1.0 release on 2019-03-11 as an MVP for Apple developers who needed side-by-side Xcode installs. The README documents commands for installing specific releases and prereleases, listing available versions, selecting an active Xcode, managing runtimes, and uninstalling versions.

The project began under Robots and Pencils and moved into the XcodesOrg organization on 2023-04-21. The maintainer note describes the move as a response to growth beyond a small utility used by Apple developers around the world, while keeping Matt Kiazyk as owner and maintainer.

By 2024 and 2026, xcodes had adapted to changes in Apple's tooling and distribution model: releases added support for iOS 18+ runtime downloads and SRP Apple login changes, then 2.0.x refactored the CLI onto shared XcodesKit and XcodesLoginKit packages, added architecture-aware filtering, and raised the implementation baseline to Swift 6 and macOS 13.

### 採用の歴史

xcodes is widely adopted because Xcode versions are large, slow to install manually, and often need to be pinned per project or CI lane. The repository has thousands of GitHub stars and a long release line, and its companion Xcodes.app gives the same version-management idea a graphical macOS interface.

The .xcode-version proposal ties xcodes to a broader convention already used by xcode-install and fastlane. That file lets a repository declare the Xcode version it expects, making xcodes useful in onboarding scripts and CI environments where reproducible Apple build tooling matters.

### 使われ方

Common workflows include running xcodes list to discover versions, xcodes install to download and install an exact Xcode version, xcodes select to switch the active toolchain through xcode-select, and xcodes runtimes to install platform runtimes. When authentication is required for Apple downloads, xcodes stores Apple ID credentials in the macOS Keychain after prompting or reading environment variables.

Teams often add a .xcode-version file next to an Xcode project or workspace so automation can choose the expected Xcode. The README recommends committing that file for teams and CI, especially when a project depends on a specific stable Xcode release.

### パッケージ好きにとっての重要性

xcodes is significant in package-manager culture because it brings version-manager ergonomics to a toolchain Apple distributes as a huge GUI application. It makes Xcode itself scriptable: a package can select, install, and document the IDE/runtime version needed for deterministic builds.

### タイムライン

- 2019-02-22: Repository created on GitHub.
- 2019-03-11: 0.1.0 initial MVP release.
- 2023-04-21: Xcodes projects moved from Robots and Pencils into XcodesOrg.
- 2023-06-23: 1.4.1 release highlighted runtime download and install support.
- 2024-10-30: 1.6.0 added Apple SRP login support and iOS 18+ runtime download support.
- 2026-06-08: 2.0.1 refactored the CLI around shared XcodesKit/XcodesLoginKit and architecture-aware downloads.
- 2026-06-17: 2.0.2 fixed a 2FA authentication regression.

### Related projects

- Xcodes.app is the native macOS GUI companion for the same workflow.
- fastlane and the legacy xcode-install gem are related because they also use or recognize .xcode-version-style Xcode pinning.
