Description

Right now munki build tools just consume the default path for Xcode build tools, which means we can only utilize the "Default" Xcode that are in the github runners. It might be ideal to figure out how to pin this, so each run is stable and we control what version of Xcode is used for the entire build process instead of just the notarizing portion.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the GitHub Actions workflow and the munki build tools portion that currently uses the runner's default Xcode. Determine how the workflow selects Xcode and define the controlled version for the full build, including notarization; done means builds consistently use the pinned version.
