Description
I am using Xcodes in my daily work, and I really love it.
One things that I usually do manually, when I have multiple versions installed, I am adding overlay on Xcode icon so I know which one I am currently opening.
For example:
Icon can be customised easily without modifying app bundle, from App Info: [[]()](https://www.idownloadblog.com/2023/01/19/how-to-change-app-icons-mac/)
Also can you add an option to automatically add installed Xcode to dock?

Start by tracing how installed Xcode versions are represented and launched, then investigate the macOS integration needed for custom icon overlays and Dock placement. Done means the requested icon version overlay and optional automatic Dock addition work for installed Xcode versions without requiring manual app-bundle modification.
