XcodesOrg/XcodesApp

Xcodes is a macOS application designed to manage the installation, configuration, and runtime environments of Apple's Xcode and associated SDKs. It automates complex development workflows by handling Xcode downloads, simulator management, and privileged system operations through a hardened XPC helper. The system also provides update verification via Sparkle, automated build notarization, and comprehensive dependency acknowledgments.

This period focused on a comprehensive restructuring of the application's lifecycle, window management, and backend logic. The team implemented a privileged helper for elevated tasks, introduced a new sign-in flow, and significantly expanded capabilities for managing Xcode installations and runtimes.

This period focused on enhancing application security and user experience through significant architectural changes. The codebase introduced a hardened XPC helper with strict client verification and implemented Sparkle update signatures for authenticity. Simultaneously, the frontend was modernized with a tabbed preferences system and a modular, component-based InfoPane for better layout and state management.
