Swift.org issue with open source swift project. Error: xcrun: error: unable to find utility "launch-with-toolchain", not a developer tool or in PATH

Question

I am trying to Start Xcode with the custom toolchain and to be enabled to use the open source version of Swift.

Steps are taken from Swift.org

And I receive this error:

xcrun: error: unable to find utility "launch-with-toolchain", not a developer tool or in PATH

With what parameters did you call xcrun? Do you have the latest Xcode 7.2 installed on El Capitan? – Prophet

Yes i am using latest El Capitan and two Xcode 7.2 and Xcode 6.4 – Broom

FWIW, it doesn't work for me either, xcrun launch-with-toolchain /Library/Developer/Toolchains/swift-latest.xctoolchain produces the same error. – Reeve

@EricD.: Would you mind to check if the solution works for you as well? – Prophet

@MartinR Done. It works now. Thanks! – Reeve

Answer 1

The open source Swift toolchain from https://swift.org/download/#apple-platforms requires the latest Xcode 7.2 (currently: beta 4).

The location of the developer directory used by xcrun and other build tools must be set to this Xcode 7.2. This can be done from the command-line with

sudo xcode-select -s /path/to/Xcode7.2-beta.app/Contents/Developer

or in the Xcode "Locations" preferences:

This fixed my issue, Why it's not atomically selects the latest or at least one of them? – Enriquetaenriquez
