Description
Tell us how we can improve Xcodes
Call lsregister after installation so Xcode extensions can find Xcode.
This is a quirk of PluginKit described here https://nshipster.com/xcode-source-extensions/#using-pluginkit

Research direction
Start by locating the Xcode installation completion path in XcodesApp and identify where post-install actions are handled. Compare the requested behavior with the linked PluginKit explanation and the example lsregister command in the issue. Done means lsregister is called for the installed Xcode app so Xcode extensions can find it.
