| # Change Xcode version in GitHub Actions | |
| As of today (2019-08-21) I haven't found any documentation on changing Xcode versions when | |
| using GitHub actions. So I checked the applications folder and everything we need is | |
| already there. 🤩 | |
| ``` | |
| > ls -n /Applications/ | grep Xcode* | |
| lrwxr-xr-x 1 0 80 30 Aug 2 19:31 Xcode.app -> /Applications/Xcode_10.2.1.app | |
| drwxr-xr-x 3 501 20 96 Oct 20 2018 Xcode_10.1.app | |
| lrwxr-xr-x 1 501 80 28 Aug 2 18:19 Xcode_10.1_beta.app -> /Applications/Xcode_10.1.app | |
| drwxr-xr-x 3 501 20 96 Apr 6 00:33 Xcode_10.2.1.app | |
| lrwxr-xr-x 1 501 80 30 Aug 2 18:47 Xcode_10.2.1_beta.app -> /Applications/Xcode_10.2.1.app | |
| drwxr-xr-x 3 501 20 96 Mar 18 02:39 Xcode_10.2.app | |
| lrwxr-xr-x 1 501 80 28 Aug 2 18:33 Xcode_10.2_beta.app -> /Applications/Xcode_10.2.app | |
| drwxr-xr-x 3 501 20 96 Jul 13 04:47 Xcode_10.3.app | |
| lrwxr-xr-x 1 501 80 28 Aug 2 19:01 Xcode_10.3_beta.app -> /Applications/Xcode_10.3.app | |
| drwxr-xr-x 3 501 20 96 Sep 11 2018 Xcode_10.app | |
| lrwxr-xr-x 1 501 80 26 Aug 2 18:05 Xcode_10_beta.app -> /Applications/Xcode_10.app | |
| lrwxr-xr-x 1 501 80 31 Aug 2 19:16 Xcode_11.app -> /Applications/Xcode_11_beta.app | |
| drwxr-xr-x 3 501 20 96 Jul 26 16:51 Xcode_11_beta.app | |
| drwxr-xr-x 3 501 20 96 Jun 5 2018 Xcode_9.4.1.app | |
| ``` | |
| Therefore switching the build tools with | |
| ``` | |
| > sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode_11.app/Contents/Developer | |
| ``` | |
| is not a problem. Please note that sudo is required for this operation. |
tested adrian's answer and it works!

Ugh. I really need GitHub to start using Xcode 13.3, because 13.3 introduced a breaking change to the format of the Swift Package Manager Package.resolved file that it generates.

Do you have a link to more info about the breaking change?
