Description

If a release build is the same as an already installed RC build, then that version is stuck with the release candidate naming:

A future to manually, or automatically depending on user preference, update the installed app name from Xcode-14.3.0-Release.Candidate.2.app -> Xcode-14.3.0.app would be helpful. It can be done manually in the Finder, but having Xcodes manage the rename would be nice.
