Xcode
Xcode is a complete developer toolset for creating apps for Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Apple TV. Xcode brings user interface design, coding, testing, debugging, and submitting to the App Store into a unified workflow.
Downloading and updating Xcode
The current release of Xcode is available as a free download from the Mac App Store. The Mac App Store will notify you when an update is available or you can have macOS update automatically as it becomes available.
The latest beta version and previous versions of Xcode can be downloaded from the Downloads page. To download Xcode, simply sign in with your Apple Account. Apple Developer Program membership is not required.
Learning about Xcode
For step-by-step guidance on how to use Xcode to build, test, and submit apps to the App Store, take a look at Xcode documentation. You can also learn about the latest features and capabilities in Xcode. For details on the latest released versions, including each beta release, view the Xcode release notes.
Submitting apps to the App Store
Xcode provides an integrated workflow for Apple Developer Program members to prepare and submit apps to the App Store. To submit your apps, use the latest version of Xcode available on the Mac App Store or, when available, the latest Release Candidate from the Downloads page.

Providing feedback and reporting bugs
Your feedback goes a long way toward making Xcode even better. With Feedback Assistant, you can report issues or request enhancements to APIs and tools. Provide detailed information about issues, including your system and developer tool versions, and any relevant crash logs or console messages. To ask questions and find answers from Apple engineers and other developers, visit the Apple Developer Forums.
Invalid private key and certificate pairing
If you receive an error message saying, "Xcode could not find a valid private-key/certificate pair for this profile in your keychain,” the Keychain Access application on your Mac is missing either the public or private key for the certificate you’re using to sign your app.
This often happens when you're trying to sign and build your app from a different Mac than the one you originally used to request your code signing certificate. It can also happen if your certificate has expired or has been revoked. Ensure that your app’s provisioning profile contains a valid code signing certificate, and that the Keychain Access application on your Mac contains that certificate, the private key originally used to generate that certificate, and the WWDR Intermediate Certificate.
For instructions on how to resolve this and other code signing errors, review the Code Signing Support page.
Apple security updates
For information on the security content of Xcode updates, visit the Apple security updates page.
