Answer 1

I am using X-code 7.3.3. to run appium test and Xcode-8 to build app under test. I have moved xocde8 into folder name "xcode8". And to switch between different Xcode version you can use -

sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/

sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/xcode8/Xcode-8.app/Contents/Developer/

If you have a particular version of Xcode (say Xcode 8) installed in your system, go to /Applications and rename it to something else like Xcode8 or Xcode7.3.1. Install the other version normally. Now you have both versions running in different names. I hope this is what you were looking for..
