Everyone is experiencing the Xcode 9 Beta 3 download error "Your connection is not private"?
When trying to download Xcode 9 Beta 3, I get the following error on Google Chrome:
Your connection is not private.
Attackers can try to steal your information from download.developer.apple.com (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards). NET :: ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID
Safari says:
Safari cannot verify the identity of the website "download.developer.apple.com"
The certificate for this website is not valid. You may be connecting to a website that pretends to be "download.developer.apple.com", which could put your sensitive information at risk. Do you want to connect to the website anyway?
I already have Xcode 9 Beta 1 and downloaded just fine. I just want to know if everyone is going through this and is it safe to proceed or if someone is really trying to steal my information.

Yes, I am getting this error too. It was like this for several days.
This happens with Apple sites from time to time. I don't know why they can't combine their actions and keep their certificates updated and patched for their respective domains.
He's pretty sure it's safe to upload regardless of the certificate error. If you want to be more secure, check the downloaded file hash. There are several places that keep track of downloaded Apple file hashes. For example here (well, in theory, you could say that these hashes are also from an unreasonable source, but you need to trust something at some point)
