My Mac glitched and gave me the Sonoma Developer beta (and it did Ventura too). I am not in the developer program.

Just got a new M2 Pro after my 2016 became outdated. What are your first steps to setting up a new computer?
If you haven’t already, this is the time to install a tool like yadm and get your computer configuration into version control. Your command-line tools can be managed by yadm directly, your system settings can mostly be managed with a yadm bootstrap script that runs things like defaults write, and the software you install can be managed with a Brewfile that the yadm bootstrap script uses to install software with Homebrew. Don’t manually download Xcode, use xcodes to do it.

How does the community handle new Xcode versions releases?
We download new version (using Xcodes https://github.com/RobotsAndPencils/xcodes), see how broken it is, fix surface-level issues, then give the build to QA. After everything is fixed and polished, switch to new Xcode full time and clean up legacy and deprecated stuff

Deploying Flutter to iOS 15 on MacOS Catalina
Since we want to deploy to iOS 15.7, we will need the Device Support files for this iOS version. Head to https://github.com/iGhibli/iOS-DeviceSupport and download DeviceSupport/15.7(FromXcode_14.1_Release_Candidate_xip).zip, unzip this file in Finder, then move the folder 15.7 to /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport.
- Does anybody know where to the find IOS 16.1 device support file (for an older Xcode version)?

My next Mac might be the last

iOS 14.7 device support files?
Is there any place I can find device support files for iOS 14.7 to be used with XCode 12.0.1? I cannot find it in places like https://github.com/iGhibli/iOS-DeviceSupport/tree/master/DeviceSupport . Is it because the release is too new?
