Cannot uninstall Xcode 12 beta, Xcode 13 beta, ...

[pronebird]

xcversion is not able to detect different beta versions of Xcode 12:

$ xcversion installed     
12.0.1	(/Applications/Xcode-12.0.1.app)	
12.2	(/Applications/Xcode-12.2.beta.3.app)	
12.2	(/Applications/Xcode-12.2.beta.2.app)	

$ xcversion uninstall '/Applications/Xcode-12.2.beta.2.app'
[!] Version /Applications/Xcode-12.2.beta.2.app is not installed.

$ xcversion uninstall '12.2 beta 2'
[!] Version 12.2 beta 2 is not installed.

$ xcversion --version
2.6.6

xcversion only uninstalls the first one.

Still broken..

$ xcversion list  

[..redacted..]
13 beta (installed)
13 beta 2 (installed)

$ xcversion uninstall '13 beta'
[!] Version 13 beta is not installed.

$ xcversion --version
2.6.8

I can confirm this is still an issue on version 2.7.0.

❯ xcversion list
...
12.5.1
13 beta (installed)
13 beta 2 (installed)
13 beta 3
13 beta 4

~ took 20s
❯ xcversion uninstall '13 beta'
[!] Version 13 beta is not installed.

~ took 9s
❯ xcversion --version
2.7.0

Suddenly not able to uninstall '13 beta 5' with xcode-install 2.6.8 and 2.8.0:

% xcversion list
...
13 beta
13 beta 2
13 beta 3
13 beta 4
13 beta 5 (installed)
13

% xcversion uninstall '13 beta 5'
[!] Version 13 beta 5 is not installed.

Beta versions are not installable anymore AFAIK (after Xcode public version was released). run xcversion update and check if it's still "visible"

[pronebird]

@rogerluan I am uninstalling the Xcode beta. Beta versions are still displayed after running xcversion update and subsequent xcversion list

[rogerluan]

Oooh 😮 gotcha, I misunderstood the issue, sorry.

I found out that it still is possible to uninstall by skipping the beta part.

So xcversion unintall "14 beta 3" becomes xcversion uninstall "14.0". This is because that's the Xcode version internally. It's probably possible to fix but it will be a bigger change to how xcode-install handles versions internally.
