A script that switches between the App Store & beta versions of Xcode

xcode-switch.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# This script switches between the App Store version of Xcode and the beta
# Install it by copying it to /usr/local/bin/xcode-switch and running 'chmod +x' on it (to make it executable)
# Then run it using 'sudo xcode-switch'

if [ "$EUID" -ne 0 ]; then
    echo "xcode-select requires you to run this script as root; 'sudo xcode-switch'"
    exit
fi

currentPath=$(xcode-select -p)

if [ "$currentPath" == "/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer" ]; then
    xcode-select -s "/Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer"
else
    xcode-select -s "/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer"
fi

newPath=$(xcode-select -p)
echo "Xcode path is now $newPath"

Alternative idea (not tested), to avoid requiring sudo and instead switch the Xcode version on a per-invocation basis:

$ cat x8
DEVELOPER_DIR=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer" $@

$ cat x9
#!/usr/bin/env bash
DEVELOPER_DIR=/Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer" $@

# Usage
$ x9 xcodebuild -workspace …

Good one @JohnSundell 👍

Is it working with Oh-My-ZSH?
