Use Finder (or iTunes, if you're on Windows or your macOS is 10.14 or earlier) for that. You can also add various [https://wiki.vcmi.eu/Mod_list mods] by uploading '''Mods''' directory. Follow [https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210598 official Apple guide] and place files into VCMI app. Unfortunately, Finder doesn't display copy progress, give it about 10 minutes to finish.

| |
| − | # Click the "three dots" / "cogwheel" button in Xcode again - Replace Container... - select the downloaded container
