xcodes: `xcodes runtime install` no longer working

Looks like Apple must have changed something, this has stopped working today:

$ sudo xcodes runtimes install "iOS 14.5"

Leads to

Error: dataCorrupted(Swift.DecodingError.Context(codingPath: [], debugDescription: “The given data was not a valid property list.”, underlyingError: Optional(Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=3840 “Cannot parse a NULL or zero-length data” UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=Cannot parse a NULL or zero-length data})))

You’re right. Looks like the response is just empty:

They’ve fixed it @NachoSoto! Glad I don’t have to make new versions!

Looks like iOS 12 and 13 are broken again lol

sudo xcodes runtimes install "iOS 13.7"

Error: typeMismatch(Swift.Int, Swift.DecodingError.Context(codingPath: [CodingKeys(stringValue: "sdkToSeedMappings", intValue: nil), _PlistKey(stringValue: "Index 110", intValue: 110), CodingKeys(stringValue: "seedNumber", intValue: nil)], debugDescription: "Expected to decode Int but found a string/data instead.", underlyingError: nil))

@NachoSoto @adamsousa Looks to be back up now.

Same issue here, I’m not able to install any OS using Xcode or xcodes. Seems like an Apple issue…
