How to get xcode running in windows? - xcode

I recently download latest version of xcode which happened to be in xif format and is unrecognised in windows 10. How can I get to run it on Windows when i cant find proper macOS image for vmware?

You can't.
xcode is made specifically for macOS. unless you'll get a macOS hacked image to run in vmware\virtualbox there's no way to run it.

Given, you have setup the vm for OSX or Apple(MAcOS X) 32bit ISO.
Set Up user to have proper root credentials.
Go To Official Apple AppStore from Start screen
Sign In with apple ID
Get Xcode From AppStore and install with root credentials,given earlier.
Hope it helps!!

Xcode XIP = non installed?

During an attempt to reinstall Xcode9 from scratch I decided to use the XIP file download from the developer.apple.com website.
I opened the archive, moved it to the Application folder and launched it. No problem, aside from the issues I was trying to solve that are still there ...
Now I go to the App Store and I see that Xcode results as non-installed.
What should I do?
I am running it on a MacBook Pro 15" from 2016 with macOS 10.12.6.
Yes you can use multiple version all together. just be carefull when installing after download, it will prompt to replace. "do not replace" but "Keep both versions". I am also using 4 different versions for compatibility checks. :)

Xcode failed to install

I am trying to install Xcode 4.2 on my Mac system having OS version 10.6.8.
Actually, I removed the Xcode from the system and tried to reinstall it.
I quit iTunes before installing it, and I have enough free space on disc (111 GB). Below is a screenshot of the error. What should I do?
Set your system time to 1st January 2012 or earlier (but not too early), as the certificate that signed the package has expired.
I had the same error message. In my case, it was solved by updating the OS software. There was an update waiting for "Apple installations software". After the update, Xcode installed perfectly well.
I found out I could download the installer directly from Apple instead of through the app store, and that the error described by the accepted answer could also be circumvented by installing the Mobile Development Framework manually.
See forum post Problems installing Xcode on Lion for more details.
I had the same trouble on Mac OS 10.8.5 when installing Xcode 4.4.1, Xcode 5.1.1, and Security_Update_2014-005. It turned out that the reason was the same in all these cases: an incompatibility with Vodafone/Huawei UMTS drivers. A workaround in this case is to temporarily move them away, e.g.
mv /System/Library/Extensions/{HuaweiDataCardDriver.kext,Vodafone.kext,VodafoneFilter.kext} ~
Then do the installation/update, and then restore those drivers, e.g.,
mv ~/{HuaweiDataCardDriver.kext,Vodafone.kext,VodafoneFilter.kext} /System/Library/Extensions/

XCode 4.2 not getting installed on my mac

I want to install XCode 4.2 on my mac. I have the dmg, but when I start the installation process, I get the file size as zero kb. Attaching the screen shot of the same:
Can anyone tell me what the problem might be???
The Mac version i am using is 10.7.2....
I have tried changing the install location, but it was of no use.
The installation process takes around 15 mins (although the size is zero kbas is in screen shot) and at the end, I am getting the message "Installation Completed"
EDIT:
For mac OSX version 10.7.2 (Mac OSx Lion), Do I need to download XCode 4.3. The dmg that I have got from one of my friend is titled "xcode_4.2_and_ios_5_sdk_beta_6_for_snow_leopard.dmg". Also, I have tried installing XCode 3.2.6 and it also is experiencing a similar problem.
what have you used for downloading?
The most of download managers downloads damaged files when Internet connection error was occured. The second type of managers stops downloading herein.
Don't use itunes if you can. I advice you to download xcode via torrents because they are protected from these downloading errors. Or at least try to download it via firefox because it stops the downloading instead of masking download erros.
I read the following in the Xcode Release Notes (developer account required) in the Apple developer documentation:
Installation
You can install Xcode 4.2 for Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard only if you have purchased an earlier release of Xcode.
Install or update Xcode through the Purchases or Updates panes.
If you purchased Xcode from the Mac App Store, the Install Xcode app is on the volume on which you installed Xcode.
To install Xcode 4.2 on another volume, you must delete all copies of the Install Xcode app from your file system.
Maybe the first point explains your problem!?
I have downloaded the new dmg of XCode 4.2 from apple developer portal (developement tools). Its XCode_4.2_for_Lion. And it has got installed without any problem.

Can't update command line tools because Xcode tells me I don't have access to them

I'm using Xcode 4.3.2 and it tried to install an update to the command line tools.
I clicked the update button and Xcode told me that [my apple id] does not have access to Command Line Tools. (Contact Apple Developer Support to resolve account access issues.)
The problem happened with 4.3.1 too, I just did the update to 4.3.2 because I thought that it will resolve the issue.
My account is a paid Mac + iOS Developer account. I am pretty sure I should have access to these tools. But Xcode tells me I don't.
I logged in to the developer portal and checked for new Terms of Service too. Everything looks alright.
How can I install the update? Does anybody have a solution for this?
Yes its all over the Twitter... Just go to Apple Downloads and manually install it. They are investigating the issue as far as I know
Dominik Porada details the solution at Xcode 4.5 and iOS 5.1 Simulator, ie. download the old XCode 4.4.1 from Apple and pull out the simulation. Personally, I just copied the simulator from one of my other Macs that I hadn't upgraded XCode on yet.
Not sure if it's still relevant but xcode-select --install might do it.
I had the same problem last night after the update to Mountain Lion and Xcode 4.4.
This morning I tried to build something in xcode and it told me that developer mode wasn't enabled on the mac. Once I enabled it, I tried to download the command tools again and that happened to work fine now.

Xcode Crash while "build and archive"

i have snow leopard 10.6.3 installed via iAtkos..everything runs good even XCode as well.I can successfully build iPhone apps run them on the simulator and the device but when i use the "build and archive" option( for adhoc distribution or itunes connect ) XCode simply crashes..does anybody have a solution for this?
thanks in advance
btw XCode version 3.2.3(tried 3.2.3 as well same result,also in safe mode)
Mac OS X version 10.6.3
I had the exact same problem, and it turned out it was caused by a variable of wrong type in info.plist. My short bundle version was created as int instead of string.
I was getting the warnings about it, but it didn't seem relevant since the crash happened only when archiving, and normal building worked fine, the app ran fine. I suggest you check your benign looking warnings, one of them could fix the issue.
You might try 3.2.4 (available now).
