For example, Version 8.3.3 (8E3004b). How can I understand if it is a beta version or a public version?
Are there any patterns in the version number？
Open the developer portal and access with your credential (delveloper.apple.com). After login you can select the section "Develop" from the top section and then the Download section. In the Download section you can see all the release for all software products as you can see in the image. As you can see is possible to check if your Xcode is beta or not.
Your version is not a beta version but is a release version.

Hi i mistakenly upgraded Visual Studio for Mac to 8.5.2 (build 13) which has Xamarin.iOS Version: 13.16.0.13 (Visual Studio Community).
Turns out this doesn't work with XCode 11.3.1 and needs XCode 11.4, which means I will need to upgrade the OS from Mojave to Catalina; i'm not ready to upgrade the OS just yet..
I have tried searching on the Microsoft website, but cant see any obvious links to downgrade or select a different Xamarin.iOS version
How can i roll back the Xamarin.iOS to a version that is compatible with XCode 11.3?
To use an older version of Xamarin.iOS you need to download it from a link.
It's very difficult to answer this question, because the answer need a link..
And Link-only answers can become invalid if the linked page changes...
So, First you need to find the version number of your wanted Xamarin.iOS.
Here you can see all release Version tags from the official
xamarin github repository.
https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/tags
Then you need to found the Microsoft official patern link from their official download .pkg repository used by Visual Studio.
The official Microsoft pkg repository : https://aka.ms/xvs/pkg
The patern link : https://aka.ms/xvs/pkg/<framework>/<version>.
Finally, you need to create your own link regardless you framework and version
Example:
Xamarin.iOS: https://aka.ms/xvs/pkg/macios/15.4.0.0
But you need to found out your own link by your self.
You can also try from the github
Xamarin.iOS https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/blob/main/DOWNLOADS.md
I previously installed 11.2 but with the bug known of UITEXTVIEW , I had to rollback to 11.1. Now I found that 11.2.1 was released I can't find it on https://developer.apple.com/download/
Any solutions? Also it doesn't appear on app store updates.
My OS is Catalina 10.15.1
Are you sure you're looking under the Release tab, not the Beta tab? Or use this link.
Since it's a release version, You can:
Download from AppStore
Direct download from Apple developers portal
I am not having paid Apple Developer Account and using Xcode 8.3.1, Xcode 9 is released recently and i want to upgrade my Xcode but only download option is available. is it possible to upgrade or i have to download new one separately.
Open AppStore than Purchased and find the Xcode.It will have option of INSTALL click on this.It will update Xcode to latest one.In my case updated to Xcode9.
Appstore after installation.
TL;DR Is there a way to find the specific Xamarin.Android download link for a specific version mentioned in the release notes?
I would like to patch an app that was build using Xamarin.Android v4.20.0.34 so I need to downgrade my toolset (In future I'll take a snapshot of my build agent VM)
I can find the 4.20 release notes but the downloads referred to in the KB article How do I downgrade to an older version of Xamarin? are all version 3.11.xxxx:
I think that when I had this issue before, based on the stack answer to Downgrade Xamarin.Android I managed to guess the URL for the download I required.
Is there a way to find the specific Xamarin.Android download for a specific version mentioned in the release notes?
Edit
Is there an unofficial list?
We (Xamarin) do not list the unsupported versions of Xamarin tools in the store page.
However, you can email hello#xamarin.com or support email to get installers for old versions
Please use the below url to download specific versions of Xamarin Android.
https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-android#downloads
The question is in the title already. I have an old XCode. Then there is a software update message on my Mac. It said that there is a newer version of XCode. If I download the new XCode, will my old XCode be deleted? Or I will end up with 2 XCodes?
If you are upgrading Xcode through the Mac App Store then it will replace your old version of Xcode. However, if you download a beta version then you can have the beta version and the production version on your machine both at the same time.
For example during the iOS 8 beta period, I had the production version of Xcode 5 on my machine and also Xcode 6 beta (all versions) installed at the same time.
However, either way you really don't need to fret because you can always download the older versions of Xcode through developer.apple.com. Just look in the "Downloads" section and click the "Looking for an older version of Xcode?" link which takes you to: Downloads for Apple Developers
It depends. If you install a GM version of Xcode it will replace your current GM version, and it will be named "Xcode". If you install a beta version, it will install a separate Xcode, with a beta mark appended to the name, eg. "Xcode6-Beta5".
