#69668 new defect

Use matched Xcode / CLT versions on macOS 13 and macOS 14 GitHub Actions runners

Description

On the macOS 14 GitHub Actions runner building MacPorts base it says: 

checking Xcode location... /Applications/Xcode_15.0.1.app/Contents/Developer

Warning: The installed version of Xcode (15.0.1) is known to cause problems. Version 15.1 or later is recommended on macOS 14.

When building a port it says: 

DEBUG: Xcode 15.0.1, CLT 15.3.0.0.1.1708646388

Can we switch to a newer Xcode?

Not without spending the significant time it would take to download and install it at the start of every CI run. Probably the best we can do is ask GitHub to update the version in the image.

Each GitHub Actions runner has several versions of Xcode preinstalled. The ​macOS 14 runner has Xcode 14.3.1, 15.0.1, 15.1, 15.2, and 15.3 installed.

Hm, strange that they default to such an old version then. Yes, I'm sure we can run xcode-select.

Summary: Use newer Xcode on macOS 14 GitHub Actions runner → Use matched Xcode / CLT versions on macOS 13 and macOS 14 GitHub Actions runners

Similarly, the macOS 13 GitHub Actions runner has: 

DEBUG: Xcode 15.0.1, CLT 14.3.1.0.1.1683849156

This mismatch causes build failures due to a MacPorts base bug in compiler selection; see #70143.
