Repro steps

see description - default workflow

Hello @StNebel.
Please use maxim-lobanov/setup-xcode@v1 task

- uses: maxim-lobanov/setup-xcode@v1
  with:
        xcode-version: '13.4.0'

[sepbehroozi]

Same issue here.
The output of the xcversion installed command might differ each time you run the workflow. I believe using the maxim-lobanov/setup-xcode@v1 task can't help as the needed Xcode version is not installed at all.
The screenshots are related to running our workflow on a PR multiple times.

Same configurations:

• Platform: Github Actions
• Virtual environments affected: macOS 12

[al-cheb]

I can't reproduce the issue. It works as expected:

[sepbehroozi]

I can't reproduce the issue. It works as expected:

You might catch the error if you try to run your workflow a few times more. Sometimes not all Xcode versions are available.

[al-cheb]

@3pehrbehroozi, Could you provide minimal repro steps with repo?

[sepbehroozi]

@al-cheb It happens sometimes. I'm having the issue with a private repo that can't be shared.
Some of our tools depend on a specific version of Xcode, which should be available in macOS 12 VMs as per the README.md file here. I have a step on my workflow to check the available Xcode versions using this command:
bundle exec xcversion installed
Each time we trigger the workflow on a PR, the result of the command above might differ (where it should be the same everytime I believe)

The repro steps are easy, but it's not happening every time:

1. Have a workflow in which you check the installed Xcode versions (like what you shared with your screenshot)
2. Run the workflow a few times
3. You'll see the installed Xcode versions will not be the same on each run.
   Doesn't matter if you're using maxim-lobanov/setup-xcode@v1 or not. The particular version of Xcode is not installed at all. Sometimes it only have versions 14 and 13.4.1 installed. Other times all mentioned versions on README.md are available.

For our case, we have to run the workflows 5 - 6 times until we hit the version we need.

@3pehrbehroozi, Could you please provide a link to the failed build and info about the image? If you have the same image I think this is a bug in xcversion.

[sepbehroozi]

@al-cheb Runner version is the same but I'm running on a macOS 12 VM.
The build is on a private repo, so I can't share the link to the failed build. But, Here are the details:

[al-cheb]

@3pehrbehroozi, I was able to reproduce the same behavior, but Xcode 13.4 exists.

[sepbehroozi]

@al-cheb True. And that's the issue. Not all mentioned Xcode versions are available every time.
I'm expecting 13.1 to be installed on the macOS 12 VM, but I'm getting failure because it isn't.

[al-cheb]

@al-cheb True. And that's the issue. Not all mentioned Xcode versions are available every time. I'm expecting 13.1 to be installed on the macOS 12 VM, but I'm getting failure because it isn't.

Looks like a bug with xcversion not with the image.

[sepbehroozi]

@al-cheb Yup. Confirming with some debugging.
Although we have other versions of Xcode available in the /Applications/ folder, xcversion won't consider them as installed.

The command I put after the listing all Xcode apps is:

ls -a /Applications | grep Xcode
