Its README says it exposes information from xcodereleases.com, installs available Xcode versions from Apple's Developer Portal, lists installed Xcode applications, and can remove them safely. ### Projektgeschichte The project is tied directly to xcodereleases.com, a community-maintained catalog of Xcode versions, build numbers, SDK metadata, Swift versions, and Apple download links. xcinfo turns that catalog into a terminal workflow for querying releases and managing local Xcode installations. The README changelog lists version 0.5.0 as the initial public release, 0.5.1 as a version-string fix, and 0.6.0 as adding resumed downloads. That sequence shows the project moving quickly from release lookup into practical installer behavior. ### Adoptionsgeschichte xcinfo occupies the same Apple-developer niche as Xcode release trackers and Xcode installers: teams need older, beta, and current Xcode builds for app maintenance, CI reproducibility, and SDK compatibility. Its public issue tracker shows recurring requests and problems around authentication, non-interactive installation, interrupted downloads, and switching versions. ### Wie es verwendet wird The documented subcommands are `info`, `list`, `install`, `installed`, `uninstall`, and `cleanup`. The `cleanup` command removes stored credentials, cookies, and user defaults when something goes wrong, which matches the tool's role as both release browser and Apple Developer Portal downloader. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren For package-manager users, xcinfo is interesting because it bridges three usually separate things: a structured release database, Apple's gated Developer Portal downloads, and the local `/Applications` collection of Xcode.app bundles. That makes it a small but useful tool for machines that need repeatable Xcode inventory and installation. ### Zeitleiste - 0.5.0: README changelog lists the initial public release. - 0.6.0: README changelog lists resumed aborted downloads. - 2020s: The XcodeReleases catalog continues to expose JSON, RSS, and website views of Apple-hosted Xcode downloads. ### Related projects - xcodereleases.com provides the release catalog that xcinfo consumes. - Xcodes and Xcodes.app are related tools for installing and switching multiple Xcode versions. ### Quellen - - - - ## Sicherheitshinweise Für xcinfo wurde kein passendes lokales Secret-Handling-Manifest gefunden.
