Create Rosetta Alias Option

Open twodayslate opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Tell us how we can improve Xcodes Related: #321 #333 #312

Create an alias to the rosetta version for that Xcode version in /Applications. That way you can run both a Rosetta version and the Apple silicon version.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Can use the command line instead of using Xcodes (re #333 #321)

I work on some applications that only work in Rosetta but would like to use Apple silicon for everything else.

What would you like to see? How would you like it to work?

Have another version of the same Xcode version in the Application folder but the open in rosetta setting is checked. You can't do this with an alias. And a duplicate consumes too much disk space.

Would be great if this was automated and the icon was updated to show that it is rosetta.

Would have to be an app that instead runs a command to open Xcode in rosetta.

FYI Xcode 14.3 no longer supports Rosetta.
