I have a requirement to support multiple projects, one is in UAT and Viz 7.x/Xcode 8 based the other is new and is likely to be Viz V8/Xcode 9 based.
Does the Viz team have any recommendations on how to install both combinations above on one Mac such that both Viz 7 and 8 can find the correct Xcode and build the projects in a supported way?
Visualizer picks up Xcode which is selected at the system level by default. You can switch between xcode versions with xcode-select command and Visualizer will fetch simulators and all information from that only.
Only restriction right now on Viz 7.x is, your active xcode should be in Applications folder and name should be Xcode.app.
In V8, Every time Visualizer needs(headless or UI) path for any of the commands, it resolves, so it should be fine.
but in 7.x, It had to be in applications folder only and named Xcode.app. So if you are working with 7.x, you will need to do it manually.
