install is failing when using brew install xcodesorg/made/xcodes#453

HI,

We use xcodes in automation and have been using brew to install xcodes as part of those pipelines. We noticed today that it was failing during some test runs but it did work a little over a week ago.

brew install xcodesorg/made/xcodes FAILS see below
brew install xcodes WORKS

Did something change?

Using the recommended way from this github site results in:

brew install xcodesorg/made/xcodes ==> Auto-updating Homebrew... Adjust how often this is run with $HOMEBREW_AUTO_UPDATE_SECSor disable with$HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1. Hide these hints with $HOMEBREW_NO_ENV_HINTS=1(seeman brew`).

    Having the same issue. Ideally xcodesorg/made/xcodes should insalled a precompiled binary from the release and don't try to build it.

    Had to download from https://github.com/XcodesOrg/xcodes/releases/download/1.6.2/xcodes.zip instead as a workaround.

    Adding a followup, just retried this morning seeing same behavior. Only works when using single name xcodes but I see I forgot to add that output to the original so its below

    Seeing the same. However, since I was migrating from App Store Xcode the brew install xcodes worked fine as well. After running xcodes install 26.1.1 I did have to also run sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode-26.1.1.app/Contents/Developer or else I was unable to run xcodes runtimes.

    We use it in automation as a one liner to do it all or did you have to do that even after that?

    Our command looks like: xcodes install 26.1.1 --experimental-unxip --select --empty-trash && xcodebuild -downloadAllPlatforms && xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch

    @aofldl No, I did not have all of those options. Thanks for your one-liner. I'll give that a shot next time.

    I'm trying to understand what changed that lead to this to start failing. I can't see that the formula changed, or xcodes changed.

    Ideally xcodesorg/made/xcodes should insalled a precompiled binary from the release and don't try to build it.

    The xcodesorg/made/xcodes formulae doesn't reference any of the newer OS versions, and so will lead to building from source. Where as the already mentioned xcodes formula matches recent OS versions and will fetch the pre-built binary.

    Building from source now fails as it appears recent version of command line tools has moved xcbuild to /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/lib/swift/pm/SwiftBuild.framework/Versions/A/Support/xcbuild which is just a symlink to swbuild

    I want my xcodes install to work

    brew install xcodes instead of brew install xcodesorg/made/xcodes

    How do we fix when building from source?

    Need to cater for the new location of xcbuild (swbuild)

    @petergoldsmith-anzx thanks for the update so it appears the supported method is to just use the xcodes formulae then assuming this is the official method and will be updated on the github pointer/docs?

    @petergoldsmith-anzx doesn't this just install the graphical app? Do you have the CLI tool available after installing this? I can't seem to find it.

    Sorry, I was confused with brew install --cask xcodes which uses the same name. brew install xcodes properly installs the CLI tool seemingly using a precompiled binary. Anyway the documentation seems to be misleading, as you can read the following in the main README:

    Homebrew (Preferred)

    brew install xcodesorg/made/xcodes

    These are Developer ID-signed and notarized release builds and don't require Xcode to already be installed in order to use.

    @jgongo that is the confusing part and why I opened the issue. the documented way you listed suddenly stopped working but is still on the main page and shifted over to just brew install xcodes

    were using this now but still a bit confused as to the change in formula name.

    Is there any update regarding this? I would like to work with the tapped version instead of the version in brew.

    This problem is still present, to get around the issue I ended up writing code to download the latest stable release then extract it. Thankfully it's universal so theres no need for recompilation.
