If you are on macOS 13.x (Ventura) and tried to download the Xcode 15 beta after WWDC, you might have found that it downloads two files — a 105-byte .xcdownloadmanifest file and a 7+GB DMG named iOS_17_beta_simulator_Runtime … but nothing to show you how to install any of it 😛

I assume the DMG (or maybe the number of DMGs downloaded) will vary depending on whether you selected just iOS or if you opted for watchOS and tvOS too … I just wanted iOS.

Looking at the DMG, I realized that that’s just the iOS simulator part as it says on the tin, but where was Xcode?

The xcdownloadmanifest file is just a text file which indicates that the parent file is Xcode_15_beta.xip and that the iOS file is additional assets. But that didn’t help me much since I had no idea how I could get Xcode_15_beta.xip …

The compatibility info for the download says macOS 13.3 or later, but it doesn’t look as if you can download it at the moment, at least not from macOS 13.x … Maybe later? Or is it macOS 14.x only for the time being?

Guess I’ll keep digging till I find the answer or just get tired/bored? 😀
