Today Apple released Xcode 11.2 Beta (11B41) to Developers.
Xcode for windows is your choice. It is well used by the programmers who want to develop ios apps using windows. Xcode is an IDE (Integrated Development Environment), designed by Apple that consists of various software tools that are used to create applications for macOS, iOS, watchOS and tvOS. Because everyone wants to download things from Apple right now. 10.10 Beta access, iOS 8 beta, XCode 6 beta. Their servers are under stress. Unless it's your own connection, but I'm sure you checked that:).

What’s New in Xcode 11.2 Beta
Overview
Overview -Xcode 11.2 beta includes SDKs for iOS 13.2, macOS Catalina 10.15, watchOS 6.1, and tvOS 13.2. Xcode 11.2 beta supports on-device debugging for iOS 8 and later, tvOS 9 and later, and watchOS 2 and later. Xcode 11.2 beta requires a Mac running macOS Mojave 10.14.4 or later.
Debugging
Known Issues
- Watch apps might fail to launch on Apple Watch from Xcode with the error: ”Failed to use existing instance 0 for app with bundle identifier: com.apple.Carousel.” This can occur when the iPhone and Apple Watch are too far from the wifi network base station and have a weak signal, the wifi network is congested, or the network doesn’t support peer-to-peer connections. (51431622)Workaround: Disable wifi on the Apple Watch in Settings to force use of bluetooth, or set up a separate 2.4GHz wifi base station and disable auto-connecting to the ‘bad’ wifi network.
Interface Builder
New Features
- Added support for configuring
WKInterfaceAuthorizationAppleIDButton
styles. (53251536)
Resolved Issues
- Fixed an issue with
UITabBarController
where decoding an instance from a storyboard would create extra views at the left end of the screen. If you worked around this issue on Xcode 11.0 or 11.1 by creating a subclass ofUITabBarController
and hiding extra views in the initializer you can remove the workaround. (55310448) - Fixed a crash that occurred in iOS/tvOS projects when reselecting the currently selected color in a user-defined runtime attribute. (55464140)
- The host system’s appearance no longer affects which fallback color is archived for an adaptive asset catalog color. (55570108)
Localization
Resolved Issues
- Fixed a crash when importing a localization with
xcodebuild
into a project referencing a Swift package. (55636751)
Simulator
New Features
- simctl video recording now produces smaller video files, supports HEIC compression, and takes advantage of hardware encoding support where available. In addition, the ability to record video on iOS 13, tvOS 13, and watchOS 6 devices has been restored. (50625716, 54409532, 55207068).NoteThe flags and arguments supported by simctl video recording have changed. See
xcrun simctl help io
for more information. - Simulator now has a menu item and keyboard shortcut to bring up the app switcher in iOS simulators. (54793361)
Resolved Issues
- Fixed a crash loop that could occur on macOS 10.15 Catalina when using iCloud Drive in simulated devices running older versions of iOS. (51392951, 54282967, 54818084)
- Fixed an issue causing simulated devices running iOS 13 to display a black window instead of enabling an external display or a CarPlay display. (53966664)
Swift Compiler
New Features
- Swift function builders use a new type checking algorithm that improves compile times and eliminates many instances of ”unable to type-check this expression in reasonable time” errors for SwiftUI-heavy code. (50150793)
Resolved Issues
- The enum
NEHotspotConfigurationError
in the NetworkExtension framework changed back toNS_ENUM
(fromNS_ERROR_ENUM
), as it was before Xcode 11.0. (54134493) - Fixed a runtime crash that would occur when running watch apps statically linked with Swift libraries. (55082864)
Swift Packages
Resolved Issues
- The scheme autogenerated for a Swift package will be automatically updated when the package adds or removes targets. (50586754, 54777895)
SwiftUI
Known Issues
Download Xcode 12 Beta 5
- Certain downloadable project files from the SwiftUI tutorials inside Xcode’s documentation viewer might fail during the download process. (55575465)Workaround: Open the web link using the sharing button and download the sample files directly from the online version of the tutorial.
watchOS
Known Issues
- watchOS applications built with the watchOS 6 SDK and a deployment target of watchOS 5.3 will crash on launch. (55360395)Workaround: Set the
__WKEXTENSIONMAIN_LEGACY_TARGET_5_3
build setting to “legacy,” or use another deployment target instead of 5.3.
