Description

Tell us how we can improve Xcodes

DerivedData cache should be taken care off when switching Xcode versions.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

After installing a new version of Xcode I run into a problem with my Flutter app:

Image

It was fixable by running rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/*.

What would you like to see? How would you like it to work?

Switching the default version of Xcode should run rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/* in the background.

Start at the code path that switches the default Xcode version and review how that action is performed. Verify the requested DerivedData cleanup command and confirm that switching versions clears the cache in the background without blocking the switch.
