SwiftUI implementation of xcodes by RobotsAndPencils

Screenshots

Technical Details

• Project supports macOS Big Sur (11.+)
• Project is written in SwiftUI
• Project relies on an amazing xcodes command line utility made by RobotsAndPencils but uses the modified version which is available as open-source here.
• aria2 is used as-is from https://github.com/aria2/aria2/releases/tag/release-1.35.0

Known Issues

• 2FA when there are 2 or more verified phone numbers is not currently supported

xcodeupdates's Issues

Slide-in notifications for simple user interaction

It would be better to show some kind of slide-in notifications in the top right corner which avoids blocking main UI and redundant user actions. e.g. closing popup on below screenshot.

Integrate Sparkle framework

Expectations

As a user
I would like to receive new version info right within the app
So I would be able to securely update to the latest whenever it becomes available

Expected

Sparkle framework should check for new releases on github to propose an update to the user

Outcome

Currently the only way to update the app is by going to GitHub and downloading a new build

Secret groundbreaking feature

Relates to: #6

download metadata from xcodereleases.com

Expectation

As a User
When I see a list of Xcode versions
I want to see all the actual relevant metadata (build number, release date, SDK versions) for each version

Outcome

Basic Xcode version metadata is currently presented

Estimated time label's dynamic height causes repositioning of button stack.

Estimated time changes and text may take one or two lines. When this happens button stack goes up and down. Perhaps setting fixed 2-line height would avoid above described behavior.

NSFileHandle readabilityHandler doesn't get called when debugger is detached

Follow-up issue for https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/669842

Support for multiple verified phone numbers for 2FA

When user has more than 1 verified phone number, xcodes detects that and sends specific output.

In order for this to be handled, a separate UI for phone number selection, as well as xcodes output format parsing shall be implemented.

So the outcome would be as user would be presented with a selection popup where it'd be possible to select to which phone number SMS would be sent.

SecItemAdd [-25308 errSecInteractionNotAllowed] User interaction is not allowed

Note: this is a duplicate of my TSI ticket, this issue will be updated along w/ the received feedback.

When I create an XPC service
And that XPC service runs a command line tool via NSTask API
And that command line tool tries to use SecItemAdd to store an item in Keychain
Then I receive -25308 error which is errSecInteractionNotAllowed in Keychain API reference

However, when there's no XPC service between Main app (UI) and command line tool, then SecItemAdd works as expected (i.e. NSTask is run from the app that user has launched comparing to XPC service that was launched with launchd)

Checkmark icons are not well visible in selected/highlighted mode

Checkmark icons are not well visible in a row in selected/highlighted mode. It would be nice to alter them with white colored icons.

Add progress indicator when there's an update request running

Expectation

As a user
When I hit "reload" button on the toolbar
Then I see the list of Xcode versions getting updated without any indication of the process

Expected

I should see a progress indicator when the update is ongoing

"Release Date” columns are always displays “Unknown"

"Release Date” columns are always displays “Unknown" when use japanese(or also other languages maybe).

Probably the cause is that the date output of the xcodes command included in the project is localized.

$ pwd
.../XcodeUpdatesInternal/XcodeUpdatesInternal/External

$ ./xcodes list --print-dates # use Japanese
2.3 (5月 23, 2006)
2.4 (8月 11, 2006)
2.4.1 (10月 31, 2006)
...

$ ./xcodes list --print-dates # use English
2.3 (May 23, 2006)
2.4 (August 11, 2006)
2.4.1 (October 31, 2006)

Below expression are return nil.

I couldn't find the "--print-dates" option in the RobotsAndPencils/xcodes in the official repository, so I've juste reported the problem in here.

$ xcodes version
0.15.0

$ xcodes list --print-dates
Error: unknown shorthand flag: 'print-dates'

Thanks.

Correction on app window title and adding tooltips for action buttons

Most of the apps have app name as top title on app's main window.
Small UI correction - magnifier icon needs to be moved into search textfield.
Tooltips need to be added for top right buttons in order to give some information to user.
