setup-xcode

This action is intended to switch between pre-installed versions of Xcode for macOS images in GitHub Actions.

The list of all available versions can be found in runner-images repository.

Available parameters

Argument	Description	Format
xcode-version	Specify the Xcode version to use	- latest or - latest-stable or - SemVer string or - <semver>-beta

Notes:

• latest-stable points to the latest stable version of Xcode
• latest includes beta releases that GitHub actions has installed
• SemVer examples: 14, 14.1, 14.3.1, ^14.3.0 (find more examples in SemVer cheatsheet)
• -beta suffix after SemVer will only select among beta releases that GitHub actions has installed
• If sets a specific version, wraps it to single quotes in YAML like '12.0' to pass it as string because GitHub trimmes trailing .0 from numbers
