[PD-dev] [PD] Catalina makes Pd take too long to load externals? + Other annoyances.

[Dan Wilcox]

If you can find a copy of an older Xcode DMG, then you can install it. The official downloads section on the Apple Developer site requires an account (basically an AppleID_. I believe you can make an account for free and only need to pay to distribute on the app store and run a build on a mobile device.

Alex, you most likely already have an AppleID. If so, try this link:  Downloads <https://developer.apple.com/download/>. Once logged in, click the small "More" link to the upper right. Then scroll down to find the latest Xcode 11.3 which I think is the last one supported by Mojave. We recently had to do this for my wife's work laptop as she had the same issue.

If the login does not work, you need to open/associate your AppleID with a developer account. I don't remember anything about this as I did it so long ago now.

Note: This is not a new issue and a little Google-fu would have turned up info like https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10335747/how-to-download-xcode-dmg-or-xip-file <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10335747/how-to-download-xcode-dmg-or-xip-file>
