Description
HI,
We use xcodes in automation and have been using brew to install xcodes as part of those pipelines. We noticed today that it was failing during some test runs but it did work a little over a week ago.
brew install xcodesorg/made/xcodes FAILS see below
brew install xcodes WORKS
Did something change?
Using the recommended way from this github site results in:
brew install xcodesorg/made/xcodes ==> Auto-updating Homebrew... Adjust how often this is run with $HOMEBREW_AUTO_UPDATE_SECSor disable with$HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1. Hide these hints with $HOMEBREW_NO_ENV_HINTS=1(seeman brew`).

Research direction
Start by reproducing brew install xcodesorg/made/xcodes and inspect the xcodes Homebrew formula plus the make install entry point that invokes xcbuild. Compare the failing Xcode/macOS environment with the working brew install xcodes path. Done means the recommended brew command installs xcodes successfully in the reported automation setup.
