Description
First of all, thanks for Cleaner for Xcode! It’s a great tool and has become really useful for us at our software company here in Switzerland. It saves us quite a bit of time when Xcode decides to misbehave. 😄
One small addition that would make it even more useful for us: a button/option to also clear the SwiftPM caches, basically equivalent to:
rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/org.swift.swiftpm
rm -rf ~/Library/org.swift.swiftpm
We occasionally run into build/package issues where clearing Derived Data isn't enough, but removing these caches solves the problem.
Would be a very nice addition and make Cleaner for Xcode cover even more of those annoying "Xcode just won't build anymore" situations. Thanks for the great tool!

Research direction
Start by tracing the existing cache-cleaning actions and their SwiftUI entry point to see how cleanup options are represented. Add the SwiftPM cache cleanup option for ~/Library/Caches/org.swift.swiftpm and ~/Library/org.swift.swiftpm, then verify that selecting it removes both locations without affecting the existing cleanup actions.
