Mac OSX How to tell GMS 2.2.5 which version of XCode to use?

So - this morning I used GMS 2.2.5 to push an update of my game to the MacOS store. I used XCode 11.something.

Then when I tried to run on my phone, Xcode wouldn't connect to my phone. I figured it was because my phone has a newer OS than what XCode11 supports.

So I updated to XCode 12. Then I was able to use the GMS-produced XCode project to run my game on my phone. So far so good.

BUT...

NOW, GMS 2.2.5 is unable to compile a new Xcode project. I guess XCode 12 is too new for it. ugh.

So is there a way to tell GMS to use my copy of XCode 11 instead of 12? ( I kept 11 because I had a feeling this would happen.)

There used to be a way to tell GMS which version of Xcode to use, but I have forgotten it. A command line thing I think?

Anyone know?

Turns out that GMS will just use which ever version of XCode is running. So if I run Xcode 11 and build from Gamemaker, it will make the Xcode project. Then I close Xcode 11, run XCode 12 and open the project, I can launch on my phone.
