Slow Update

Open thisisjaymehta opened this issue 3 months ago • 4 comments

Describe the bug The Github Copilot for Xcode extension updates so slow, the updates are generally around 160-180 MB but it takes at least 10 min to download the update. I have a 100 Mbps network speed, which should make it download in mere seconds.

Versions

  • Copilot for Xcode: 0.41.0
  • Xcode: 16.4
  • macOS: 26.0

Steps to reproduce

  1. Click update when auto update prompt comes

Additional context I believe this can be location issue, I am residing in India and maybe there is not a good server where GitHub Copilot for Xcode's updates are hosted.

I tried updating using homebrew and the result was same. It downloaded ~34% in more than 40 minutes.

CDN looks like the culprit, please host binaries somewhere with good CDN.

They two likely points to the same download host. How about downloading it directly from the github repo release page https://github.com/github/CopilotForXcode/releases?

Downloads from github works as expected, downloaded in 10 sec. Just a little inconvenient. :')

Thank you for the feedback. Agree, the built-in update is more easy to use. I’ll continue monitoring the slow-update issue for a while longer to see if it impacts more users.
