- Powerful visual communication. With the power to diagram, rapid-prototype, and design, OmniGraffle was made for professionals who need to organize or communicate visually—beautifully.
- Navigate to the /rundir/debug/bin bin folder that the previous Xcode build process should have created and select the obs binary found there. Next, switch to the Options tab and check the box to Use custom working directory and select the same /rundir/debug/bin directory in your Xcode build directory.
Most of the time, we just need the most up-to-date version of Xcode from the App Store. But occasionally we need an older version. So... how do you get past versions of Xcode?
Always make sure to install the latest available version of Xcode for your macOS release; using outdated versions of Xcode may cause port install failures. Also note that Xcode is not updated via OS X's Software Update utility on OS versions prior to 10.6, and is updated via the Mac App Store starting with 10.7. Windows 10 Go Back to Previous Build Not Working. Actually, it is quite common for users to demand a Windows OS downgrade or rollback by using the recovery feature found in this path: Settings Update & Security Recovery Go back to an earlier build.
Whyyy would I need an old version of Xcode?
Valid question – it’s not often you’ll need one. Two reasons off the top of my head though:
1) To compare with your previous experience
Perhaps you’re just wanting to see what things “used to be like”.
Maybe you’re struggling with the infamous “this code worked before…now it doesn’t…what changed?” and you just want to build your project with a prior version of Xcode in order to rule it out as the culprit.
Grabbing an older version of Xcode could help you here.
2) To upgrade a very old project to newer versions of Swift
I hit this one the other day. I needed to update the exercise files for my Core Data Fundamentals with Swift course on Pluralsight.
I opened the project in Xcode 12 and this popped up:
Xcode 10.1??? That was a while ago. 😅
How to download
Xcode Download Previous Versions Download
Regardless of your reason, the good news is that you can download old versions of Xcode (and a lot of other tools) from the Apple Developer Center.
The link is a bit hidden though, so I’ll leave it here for you as an easy-to-find breadcrumb:
Download Xcode Older Version For Mac
- https://developer.apple.com/download/more/
You’ll need to sign in to your Apple Developer account, but once you’re in, you’ll have access to lots of old stuff.
Every version of Xcode is available – all the way back to version 1.0, released in 2003.
You’ll also find prior versions of macOS, old versions of the command line tools, prior betas and release candidates of Xcode and macOS, and more.
How cool is that?
