Xcode 12 Beta 3 Released and Xcode 12 for Universal Apps Deprecated

Announcements

The Xcode 12 Beta 3 image has just been released and can be selected as follows:

macos:
    xcode: 12.0.0

Changes In This Release

With Xcode 12 beta 3, Apple has “merged” Xcode 12 and Xcode 12 for Universal Apps into a single release.

Users who were selecting Xcode 12 for Universal Apps with the 12.0.0-UA image identifier will be automatically redirected to the new Xcode 12 beta 3 image (12.0.0).

As a result of Xcode now being a Universal App, and including the Apple Silicon tooling, the resulting size of Xcode itself has grown, meaning there is around 6GB less free space on the new Xcode 12 beta 3 image.

Additionally, the underlying macOS version has been bumped up to 10.15.5 from 10.15.4.

Major Software Changes from 11.x series

We will no longer be shipping Python 2 in our images due to it hitting EOL status and causing issues during installation as it is no longer maintained by Homebrew. If you require Python 2, we would suggest moving to a previous Xcode image, or creating your own tap for the Python 2 package.

We have bumped OpenJDK to version 11 (LTS) from OpenJDK 8 due to the latter being deprecated.

Image Info

We set the Ruby version to 2.6.6 but nothing :disappointed:, still the same error. Thoughts ?

@vikt0r.sigler :wave: This release of Xcode has been particularly buggy, so it wouldn’t surprise me if this is a knock on effect caused by the latest Command Line Tools (simply getting the tools installed was a bit of a nightmare in itself). Beta 4 will likely be out in the next couple of days (if Apple stick to their release cadence), so if you can hold out to try that then we can go from there :slight_smile:

If beta 4 is still causing problems then please feel free to drop in a ticket to support so we can look at this a bit further and try and determine if it’s environment related or not. Thanks!
