About Releases for Xcode
Xcode updates arrive quietly. The Mac App Store won't tell you – you find out days later when you happen to open it and notice the badge. Betas never show up there at all. Releases for Xcode notifies you the moment Apple announces a new Xcode version. Releases, betas, or both – you decide. WHO IT IS FOR For iOS, iPadOS, macOS and Flutter developers who need to know when a new SDK is ready, instead of finding out three days later. FEATURES • A notification the moment Apple announces a new Xcode version • You choose: releases only, betas only, or both • The notification names the version it is about • Every Xcode version, from the current one back through the archive • Release notes readable directly in the app • SDK versions for iOS, macOS, watchOS and tvOS per release • Compiler versions, checksums and download links • Required macOS version at a glance WHERE THE DATA COMES FROM The app follows Apple's official release announcements. Version details come from the open xcodereleases.com dataset (MIT licensed). Licensed under the Apple standard EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
What’s new
Version 5.0 · Updated October 29, 2026
Notifications actually work now. Until now the app had to be opened regularly before it could even check for updates. That is over: a server follows Apple's release announcements and sends the notification even when the app is closed. • Choose whether you want releases, betas, or both • The notification names the new version • Tapping it opens the matching release notes • Fixed several crashes that could happen when opening older versions
