Xcode xip "The archive does not come from Apple"

Hi all,


I'm trying to install an older version of Xcode, but when I try to open the .xip file I get the following error: 'The archive "Xcode_9.1.xip" does not come from Apple'. What's causing this error and is there a way to fix it?


Thanks in advance.

The certificate used to sign the files probably expired. As a workaround, I managed to uncompress the xip file by setting my system date to back to september.

Apple has updated the archives for all these old versions with new signing. You can download them at the apple developer downloads site. I would recommend going that route to make sure you are getting valid, un-compromised versions.
