About:
Xcodes is a developer tool that simplifies the installation and management of multiple Xcode versions. It automates downloading from Apple and handles version switching, allowing developers to easily test apps across different iOS and macOS SDKs. The tool streamlines a traditionally manual and error-prone process, saving significant time and effort.

Key Features:

Automated Xcode downloading and installation
Easy switching between installed Xcode versions
Supports both release and beta versions of Xcode
Command-line interface (CLI) for integration with scripts
Manages Xcode versions via a simple version file

Use Cases:

Managing multiple Xcode versions for different project requirements
Quickly testing an app against beta SDKs without disrupting your stable environment
Setting up a new developer machine with a specific set of Xcode versions

Alternatives:

xcode-install – A long-standing Ruby gem for managing Xcode versions, often used in CI/CD environments.
Manual Download – The default method of downloading and managing Xcode from the Apple Developer Portal, which is time-consuming and prone to user error.
