How do I download Xcode 14.3 and Studio Display Firmware Update 16.4? Doesn't show up when I try Software Update.

I see Xcode 14.3 release date 30March2023 and and Studio Display Firmware Update 16.4 release date 27March2023 on the Apple Security Update page today 1April2023. When I go to System Settings/General/Software Update, my iMac 2017 reports macOS Ventura 13.3 is up to date. My question: Are the Xcode and Studio Display Firmware Updates included in macOS Ventura 13.3 I recently upgraded? I am not a developer nor do I have a Studio Display, however any security updates available for macOS Ventura 13.3 I like to download, as I am not an expert and the phrase *may be able to execute arbitrary code* in the description of the updates gets my attention. Thanks! First time in the Community.

iMac (2017 – 2020)

Hello,


I understand your concerns. You will not see an upgrade notification for the software (Xcode) or device (Studio Display) if you do not use those. Your Mac will only notify you when upgrades specific to your Mac, its applications and its devices are available.


Rest assured that, having upgraded to macOS Ventura 13.3, your Mac is thoroughly protected with the latest security updates Apple released.
