Version 15.4.0 cannot be set

[stoyicker]

Recently Xcode 15.4 is available on macos-14-xlarge. However, this action fails to set said version when requested.

Hi,

GitHub runners has Xcode 15.4.0 beta installed.
Could you please try to use xcode-version: '15.4-beta'

[stoyicker]

The version used is parsed by using PlistBuddy to retrieve CFBundleShortVersionString from the Info.plist from each XCode installation, so manual adjustments aren't really feasible I'm afraid.

Given that the table of versions printed upon the failure is capable from separating version from releaseType, would it please be possible to have this action resolve releaseType automatically?

@maxim-lobanov 15.4-beta doesn't seem to work (I tried 15.4.0 and 15.4 as well)

I am not sure that it will work well.
Imagine that image contains the following versions of Xcode: 15.7, 15.8, 15.9 (beta).
When customer types xcode-version: 15, they expect to get 15.8 (latest stable). The proposed logic will return 15.9 (beta).
So -beta postfix is used to query across beta versions.
xcode-version: 15 selects 15.8 and xcode-version: 15-beta selects 15.9 (beta)

@davidmigloz , You probably want to use just xcode-version: 15.4 without -beta postfix because GitHub Actions team updated images recently and images contain stable version of Xcode 15.4. It is seen from table on screenshot (stable: true)

[davidmigloz]

ahh it seems some runners have 15.4.0 marked as stable and others still have it as beta.

In one run I got:

In a later run I got:

Sounds like this could be solved by splitting the releaseType selection into a separate parameter away from a postfix to xcode-version no? So:

xcode-version: 15
xcode-releasetype: Beta

results in 15.4 while

xcode-version: 15
xcode-releasetype: GM

results in 15.3, presuming they're both executed in a runner where 15.4 is marked as beta.
