Homebrew doesn’t let users by-pass the 64-bit condition that Catalina has. There is no getting around that. On that note, Homebrew had to update to a Catalina compatible version so it’s unlikely that you will be able to install older versions of it. Xcode Update Mac Catalina The Assistant button splits the Xcode editor in two, with your primary work document on the left and an intelligent Assistant editor pane to the right. The Assistant editor automatically displays files that Xcode determines are most helpful to you based on the work you are performing in the primary editor. Xcode is the tool developers use to build apps for the Apple ecosystem – MacOS, iOS, and all things Apple. This guide will walk you through how to successfully install Xcode onto your Mac, from start to finish. Here are some handy tips to know before you get started: Xcode only runs on a mac. If you are on a PC, sadly you won't be able to use.
Xcode is an integrated development environment (IDE) that allows users to create and test iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch apps using OSX and iOS. Xcode supports a variety of programming languages such as Swift language, C, C++, AppleScript, and etc.
In this version, there are many improvements being made. Feel free to click here for more information from the Apple official website.

Providing feedback and reporting bugs
Your feedback goes a long way toward making Xcode even better. With Feedback Assistant, you can report issues or request enhancements to APIs and tools. Provide detailed information about issues, including your system and developer tool versions, and any relevant crash logs or console messages. To ask questions and find answers from Apple engineers and other developers, visit the Apple Developer Forums.
Invalid private key and certificate pairing
If you receive an error message saying, 'Xcode could not find a valid private-key/certificate pair for this profile in your keychain,” the Keychain Access application on your Mac is missing either the public or private key for the certificate you’re using to sign your app.
This often happens when you're trying to sign and build your app from a different Mac than the one you originally used to request your code signing certificate. It can also happen if your certificate has expired or has been revoked. Ensure that your app’s provisioning profile contains a valid code signing certificate, and that the Keychain Access application on your Mac contains that certificate, the private key originally used to generate that certificate, and the WWDR Intermediate Certificate.
For instructions on how to resolve this and other code signing errors, review the Code Signing Support page.
