How can I programmatically find Swift's version?

Question

I know I can find the version of Swift I\'m running right now reverting to a Terminal and typing:

xcrun swift --version
Swift version 1.1 (swift-600.0.57.4)
         


        

Answer 1

Open up a command line on your Mac computer

type swift -version, without the double dashes, which doesn't work any more for Xcode 11/Swift 5.2.2

Of course, you'll have to update to latest IDE, which always downloads the latest version of both Xcode, languages, compilers and tools... EVERYTHING is updated. If you do that, that solution works for sure.
