MacOS 12.x (Monterey) disables the Xcode 12.5 app

[panagiotis m]

Hello Henry,

You can have as many Xcode versions installed as you want. I suggest you
create a folder "Xcodes" and put everything in it, after you have renamed
them appropriately (e.g. rename your current Xcode to Xcode_12_5_0.app).
LiveCode uses the iOS 14.5 SDKs and some of Xcode's command line tools, so
it will continue to work with Xcode12.5 without any issues, even if
Xcode12.5 itself cannot open on MacOS Monterey.

>>>>Are there plans for LC to update to Xcode 13?
Yes, this will happen probably in the next RC-1 release (9.6.6)

Kind regards,
Panos
