Managing Multiple Xcodes

If you have multiple Xcode installations, you may choose which toolset Appium should use with one of two ways:

xcode-select tool

Only available with sudo privileges, affects the whole system.

Assuming you want to choose /Applications/Xcode13.app:

1. Set the default Xcode

   sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode13.app/Contents/Developer
   

2. Run Appium

   appium
   

Environment variable

No privileges needed, affects only the current shell, so Appium should be started within that shell.

Assuming you want to choose /Applications/Xcode12.app:

1. Set the DEVELOPER_DIR environment variable

   export DEVELOPER_DIR=/Applications/Xcode12.app/Contents/Developer
   

2. Run Appium

   appium
