Upgrade to Xcode 13 on Big Sur?

[Sriranga Veeraraghavan]

Thanks very much Ryan!  

I installed Xcode 13.2.1 from developer.apple.com <http://developer.apple.com/> and the command line tools using software update (for some reason, when I tried to install Xcode using the App Store, it kept giving me an error).  Everything seems to be working correctly so far.

Best,

This can confuse most open source software which doesn't know how SDKs work. You can avoid most problems if you also install the Xcode 13.2 version of the command line tools (there was no 13.2.1 version of the CLT) since the CLT contains both the macOS 11 and 12 SDKs and MacPorts will tell most ports to use the macOS 11 SDK from the CLT.
