Xcode 14 beta install failing `spctl` check

[ggrell]

M1 mac mini running macOS 12.4

Can't seem to install the beta via xcversion install "14 beta", which shows the following:

Same on intel macbook pro running Monterey 12.3.1 and an intel mac pro also on 12.3.1

@richardsimkins from the release notes, you require macos 12.4 minumum
Xcode 14 beta requires a Mac running macOS Monterey 12.4 or later.

@bitrise-tom true, but unfortunately that won't help @richardsimkins with the issue reported here. I'm seeing this issue with both ARM and Intel platforms running 12.4

[bitrise-tom]

It was my initial thought, but I am seeing the same her for intel too

I have updated to 12.4. I am still getting the issue.

After digging into it a tad, I'm fairly certain it's the verify_xcode fastlane action that is failing, which xcode-install uses.

https://github.com/fastlane/fastlane/blob/master/fastlane/lib/fastlane/actions/verify_xcode.rb

https://github.com/xcpretty/xcode-install/blob/master/lib/xcode/install.rb#L744

I won't have time to do it immediately, but what probably needs to happen is filing an issue on the fastlane repo.

I'm guessing there was something quirky with the first Xcode 14 beta.

I'm able to install and verify Xcode 14 Beta 2 successfully.

[richardsimkins]

I can confirm that Xcode "14 beta 2" passes verification and xcversion works as expected.
