What is the easiest way to update Xcode on OSX?
I see this in the terminal:
$ brew install xxxxxxx Warning: Your Xcode (4.3.3) is outdated Please install Xcode 4.6.
But when I go to open up Xcode > Preferences > Downloads
, it says there are no updates?
Open the Mac App Store app. Search for “xcode” in the search field, at the top-left. Click on the Xcode app item that appears. Click on the Get or Install buttom at the top-right to download and install Xcode.
The normal way you upgrade Xcode via direct download is to download the new version, extract it from the XIP, and drag it into Applications. Are you having a problem with that? There is no patch-in-place; you just download the new version.
Xcode is Apple's integrated development environment (IDE) for macOS, used to develop software for macOS, iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and tvOS. It was initially released in late 2003; the latest stable release is version 13.4. 1, released on June 2, 2022 via the Mac App Store with macOS Monterey.
Open up App Store
Look in the top right for the updates section (may also be in lefthand column "Updates"..)
Find Xcode & click Update
