Maintaining Xcodes for 10,000+ monthly users
I maintain Xcodes.app and the Xcodes command-line tool alongside an open-source community. More than 10,000 people use them each month to install, manage, and switch between versions of Xcode.
Keeping both tools working
The app and command-line tool need to work across different hardware. Supporting the machines people use is an ongoing part of maintaining both projects.
Apple’s software keeps changing, too. As Apple releases updates, we need to keep Xcodes working with them. That means maintenance continues long after a feature ships.
The app repository and CLI repository are where you can follow releases, report issues, read the code, or contribute.
