Xcode For Catalina 10.15

Posted on  by

I was using Xcode 11 (dmg downloaded from developer account extra files section) on mac os 10.14.6. Today i updated my Mac os to 10.15 catalina to use xcode 11 canvas view but the issue is after updating to mac os 10.15 Catalina i am unable to open xcode. When i clicks on xcode icon it jumps for few seconds and then nothing happens. Xcode for PC and Mac. Written by Apple. Category: Developer Tools Release date: 2021-06-21 Licence: Free Software version: 12.5.1 File size: 7.24 GB Compatibility: Available on Windows 10, Windows 8.1/8, Windows 7, Windows Vista and Mac OS 10-11 10.14.4. One thing that might be going on: There was a big alert sent that the latest Catalina beta (10.15 Beta 7) breaks compatibility with all previous Xcode 11 betas, thus requiring Xcode 11 Beta 7. However, they never released Xcode command line tools beta 7, so what ever this incompatibility is, this may be how it's expressing itself.

We have released Xcode 11.2, which will replace the beta release.

The new image contains Xcode 11.2, running on Catalina.

This is the first image that we’ve built with Catalina, so there might be some bugs – please let us know if you find anything out of the ordinary.

Highlights

  • The OS has been upgraded to macOS 10.15 (19A602) Catalina.
  • The timezone is changed to GMT. We used to set the timezone to PDT/PST, which caused some problems each time there was a daylight saving change.
  • Ruby is 2.6.3
  • The default shell is bash --login.
  • Xcode 11.2 Build 11B52
  • The runtimes installed are:
  • iOS 12.2
  • iOS 12.4
  • iOS 13.2
  • tvOS 12.4
  • tvOS 13.2
  • watchOS 5.3
  • watchOS 6.1

The manifest of installed software is here.

Ruby

The last few releases of Xcode on CircleCI were problematic for Ruby users, due to issues with how Xcode 11 shipped the macOS SDK. This forced us to make some breaking changes with Ruby. My hope is that upgrading to Catalina will resolve these issues, and using Ruby will be more straight forward.

  • The system Ruby that comes bundled with 10.15 is 2.6.3. This is the ruby on the path by default.
  • chruby is installed, and is on the path, and there are two additional versions of Ruby installed, 2.5.7 and 2.6.5.
  • chruby auto-switching is not enabled by default. You can switch it on yourself should you wish.

Shells

Catalina ships with zsh as the default shells, but with CircleCI, the default shell is still bash. By default, commands on macOS run with /bin/bash --login -eo pipefail -c $COMMAND.

You can customize the shell for an executor, job or run command, which will allow you too run a command with zsh, should you wish:
