Great work @MattKiazyk for opening the issue on the xcodereleases repo.
The Xcode Releases data should now have what @MattKiazyk needs for this.
Reacted by David Davies-Payne and Romain SickenbergReacted by Ash, Adam Magaña, Abdullah Alhaider and Paul SemionovFor context... the "duplicated" entries for the different architectures are how I handled this the last time it came up with Xcode 12.0 beta 2, as well as Xcode 4.1, which had different versions for Snow Leopard and Lion.
Thanks. I used to run the command like:
xcodes download "26.0 Beta 4"
How can I download 26.0 Beta 5 Apple Silicon now?Update: Never mind. I'll wait until they get listed in Xcodes app first.
For days I couldn't see Beta 5 at all, but just today it's show up. BTW, I'm running this on a Mac Mini m4
On my sides, Beta 5 is still missing, it just shows versions until Beta 4.

I wonder if this is why we also see duplicates under platforms in the Xcodes app. For myself I installed beta 5 via selecting Apple as the download source (Unknowing they now have two different versions) but then ran into an issue as Xcode only installs the silicon platform for the simulator. I needed the universal platform but this doesn't appear to be an option.
Under platforms however in the Xcodes app I can see multiple listings for the platform when the download preference is set to 'Xcode Releases' is this because one of them will be the silicon and the other the universal? If so this would be handy to have a note against them for the platform.
Never mind I see this has already been picked up. #730
Duplicates for platforms will also be fixed soon - please be patient. 🙏 Note that in order to see the proper variants you have installed you'll need to have Xcode 26 as the active Xcode as it uses
xcodebuildcommand that only has the variant search in those versions.Workaround is to install the platform via Xcode if you wish to have the Apple Silicon version.

Same issue here. When can we expect that Xcode 25 Beta 5 will appear when using xcodereleases as a data source?
Reacted by Frederik Seiffert, Eric, Ash, Max Komarychev, Ilia Lubianoi, Ruttanachai Auitragool, Melvin Gundlach and Maxnot only that it doesn't show up when you select Xcode Releases as the data source, when you switch to Apple, only one Beta 5 shows up. Apple is now releasing two different binaries for Xcode, one is Silicon only build and one is both (intel + silicon).
I think you guys need to fix that too. Most of us would probably never touch the Intel one anymore.Reacted by Romain Sickenberg, David Roman, Ash and Melvin GundlachIs there anything we can do to help get this done?
Same issue with Beta 5 and now with the newest Beta 6, not on the list.
I still don't see any betas after v.4:
Reacted by Clément Baudet, felixkrautschuk and Barron RothFor the time being you can install xip from xcodereleases manually (and it will show up in xcodes) or switch your source in Settings > Downloads > Data Source
Reacted by sindukeseems its happening with beta 6 as well.
I've had to manually download the latest Xcode betas directly from apple because Xcodes does not seem to be getting the new betas anymore.
Same here, no beta newer than Beta 4
A workaround:
Go to settings (cmd+
,), then theDownloadstab, selectApplefor the source instead ofXcode Releasesrefresh the list and now you see newer beta versions

Thank you!
Starting in Xcode 26 Beta 5 (released today) - Apple is providing 2 variants (Universal + Apple Silicon only) Xcode builds.
This is causing an issue where it's not showing because of the way xcodereleases.com json is being generated and having duplicate versions (which are not pre-release/release style).
