What's the reason for the size increase? ARM support?
- mrtksn 6y agoI am not sure. The download is about 11GB, maybe file system block size plays a role but why would be multiple times larger than before?
- uniqueid 6y agoBecause there's nobody around to say "no" anymore.
- plorkyeran 6y agoFinder says it's 28 GB but du says 15 GB. The compressed size went from 8 GB to 11 GB, so I suspect Finder's number is just wrong for some reason? The overwhelming bulk of Xcode's footprint is the simulators. Xcode 12 went from two iOS simulator architectures to three (previously i386 and x86_64, arm64 added), one watchOS architecture to three (previously i386, x86_64 and arm64 added), and one tvOS architecture to two (previously x86_64, arm64 added), which naturally increases the size quite a bit.
