Distinguish between production (Xcode.app) and beta (Xcode-Beta.app) releases consistently #805

Description

@funbear-dev

Tell us how we can improve Xcodes
Implement a feature where the most recent production Xcode release is mapped to "Xcode.app" on my Mac, while any Beta builds are automatically mapped to "Xcode-Beta.app". Older releases are then mapped to their specific version, if it's required for testing purposes. Ask the user if older versions should be automatically deleted, or kept.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'd like to keep two symlinks on my Dock, one for production, and one for the latest Beta version, so I don't need to update or change them over time. If I need to run a specific, older version, I can open it easily. Not a specific problem, but a workflow improvement that I'm sure many developers would appreciate.

What would you like to see? How would you like it to work?
As mentioned, the latest build of each branch gets renamed dynamically to either "Xcode.app' or 'Xcode-Beta.app', and all older versions are renamed to their specific version, as it happens with Xcode.app today. However, there is currently no code (probably) to work on both the production AND the development branch. I suggest that this needs a fix.
