Xcode 9 beta 403 forbidden For an old C++ project compilation test I would need to try the first XCode 9 beta specifically: http://adcdownload.apple.com/WWDC_2017/Xcode_9_beta/Xcode_9_beta.xip
However the page returns error &quot;403 Forbidden&quot; for me. I don't know whether link is down (from old comments, these versions were working 3 years ago), or it's restricted to paid accounts.
Could anyone confirm what's the case?
Thanks.
Paid up developers can not see any old betas for redownload. You typically need a support case and a very compelling reason to get anything beta from Apple once they update to a new beta. Save your downloads if you ever think you need them later.
That being said, all the release versions of 9 that are available:

Assuming you don’t want the last version of 8, here is the oldest 9.0
