Simply not working

[lordzsolt]

When I try to download any version:

• it downloads about 100KBs of it
• considers it 100%
• then fails with the error: The archive "Xcode-14.0.0+14A309.xip" is damaged and can't be expanded.

I have tried both with the CLI and the Xcodes app.
(Both of them were installed through Homebrew)

When I run it from the CLI, I see the following output:

xcodes install --latest --experimental-unxip
Updating...
Latest non-prerelease version available is 14.1

Downloading with aria2

(2/6) Unarchiving Xcode (This can take a while)
Using experimental unxip. If you encounter any issues, remove the flag and try again
zsh: trace trap  xcodes install --latest --experimental-unxip

I presume the last line is the issue?

EDIT:

• I have tried with and without aria2
• I have tried with and without --experimental-unxip
• I have tried multiple Xcode versions

Looks like Apple closed the loophole allowing to download without authentication. The downloaded file is an HTML error page.

[lordzsolt]

Is there anything I can do to authenticate?

I have logged in the Xcodes app before pressing Install, and it still produced the same output.

Edit:

• I have tried setting XCODES_USERNAME and XCODES_PASSWORD but they seem to be ignored

+1 for this, I got the same error, then tried using XCODES_USERNAME and XCODES_PASSWORD and still got the same error

@sebsto @lordzsolt @michaeleisel What are your Mac OS's?

These errors seem to be all Ventura

Seeing it now on 12.6.1. 2020 M1 mac mini

	<title>Unauthorized - Apple Developer</title>
	<meta name="omni_page" content="Unauthorized" />

It could be an apple issue because xcode-select --install was also giving me issues.

[lordzsolt]

@MattKiazyk Yup, Ventura 13.0.1

[lordzsolt]

It could be an apple issue because xcode-select --install was also giving me issues.

No issues with xcode-select --install on my side (besides it being awfully slow)

[michaeleisel]

I'm on 12.6

[MattKiazyk]

It's looking like Apple changed something so I now can't get a token the way I was to download. I'm looking into it.

[MattKiazyk]

Workaround (unfortunately) at the moment is

xcodes update --data-source apple
xcodes install 14.0.1 --data-source apple

which will use the original way of Apple creds to get the token in order to download.

Sorry everybody, looks like Apple may have stopped our new way of getting a token 😢

I use xcodes 1.5.0 and it's working. However, on version 1.8.0 we are having the issue.

I really hope this is just a temporary issue on Apple's end 😬 Being forced to authenticate to download Xcode is just terrible 😞

I will check with my network to see if anyone has any insight within Apple so we know whether this is a temporary issue or a permanent change they made intentionally 🙏

[sebsto]

I think the authless download was unintentional in the first place. They just fixed a bug this week
