Raging here, overheating really. One spends thousands on technology that is promoted with the catch phrase "it just works", yet here I am, after updating my fancy new emoji maker (iphone x) to 11.2 and then attempt to carry on working by compiling my code to test some new features. And...

oh, whats this xCode? You have a problem? You can't locate something? You can't locate iOS 11.2 (15C114)... sorry and you think that this "May not" be supported in current version of Xcode?

Let me get this straight you advanced piece of technological wizardy, you know you are missing something, you in fact know what it is, you can actually TELL me what is missing and yet, still, in 2017, you can't go FETCH it?????

Really? All you can do is sit, with that stupid look on your face, and watch the paint dry? Your stuck? That's it?

I hate you for the false pretense of advanced capability. and for your lack of a consistent dark theme so my eyes stop bleeding when reading your "I don't know what to do" messages...

By the way, maybe you can stop randomly crashing, or pinwheeling, I get that your bored as a machine designed to crunch numbers/data/code all day long and that for fun you feel you have to add some color to your subsitance. But stop it. Do what I'm told you can do, "JUST WORK" for once without me having to drag you forward kicking and screaming.

K. that feels better. Now for some whiskey.

    Did you think us Apple-Bashers bash Apple just cuz? Apple is garbage and overpriced. It's a great mystery how people still buy Apple garbage

    I honestly left the mobile app business after realizing what a pain in the ass working with xcode is. Especially working with provisioning profiles, certificates, and now I'm missing 3 launch images, 7 icons, 15 iOS versions and 2 kidneys

    @MatanRad Oh and also, that was before Android was a big thing so that's that 😂

    To resolve this "minor" inconvienance I had to download a near 6 gig file (xCode 9 beta 2), uncompress, drill the file structure to find that little nugget of gold; a file folder called 11.2 (build#). Then copy to the xCode I'm using, climb down the rabbit hole of file hiearchy. paste it, re-run xcode and wait as it does it's magical thing. You know "the thing", when everything stops, and it looks around going "ohhh something changed"....

    All told 45 minutes of manual labour for a task that is ripe for automation. I mean, even in the preferences you can go to components and "Check and Install Now"...

    I'm left with only this thought that some kind of trickster must be spearheading the decision making at apple for how their flagship dev tool should behave/evolve.

    I do like my apple products, but in the hunt for key features, and massive earth shattering innovation (overused term), they seemingly have left refinements and the concept of continuity in roadside gutter.
