Unable to integrate Xcode with Ninja

The issue I opened for building with Xcode was closed in favor of integration with Ninja. I tried those instructions, but I'm still unable to get Xcode working. Here's what I'm doing:

Build with ninja

utils/build-script --skip-build-benchmarks \                                                     
-j10 --skip-ios --skip-watchos --skip-tvos --swift-darwin-supported-archs "$(uname -m)" \
--sccache --release-debuginfo --swift-disable-dead-stripping --bootstrapping=off

Add --xcode to that command.
Receive this error:

CMake Error at cmake/modules/CheckCompilerVersion.cmake:57 (if):

    "(" "STREQUAL" "MSVC" ")" "AND" "(" "19.24" "VERSION_LESS_EQUAL" ")" "AND" "(" "VERSION_LESS" "19.25" ")"

Here is my setup:
M1 Pro MacBook Pro
macOS 13.0 (22A380)
Xcode Version 14.1 (14B47b)
xcode-select -p = /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
swift-project hashes

Woah, I think I found the issue. My CMake was out of date. I was running 3.21.x, and the docs state you need 3.19.6 or higher. I upgraded to the latest (3.24.3) and now the build succeeded. The "unknown arguments specified" made me suspect the version. I'll open a Github issue to update the required version.

**Describe the bug** The GettingStarted guide is out of date regarding which CM…ake version is required. **Steps To Reproduce** Steps to reproduce the behavior: Repro details are in this thread: https://forums.swift.org/t/unable-to-integrate-xcode-with-ninja/61350/2 I was running 3.21.x, and the docs state you need 3.19.6 or higher, so I thought I was in the clear, but the "unknown arguments specified" made me suspect the version. I upgraded to the latest (3.24.3) and now the build succeeded. I'm not sure exactly which version should be the minimum, but 3.19.6 is now too low. **Environment (please fill out the following information)** M1 Pro MacBook Pro macOS 13.0 (22A380) Xcode Version 14.1 (14B47b) xcode-select -p = /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

As an aside, utils/build-script --xcode --release --swift-darwin-supported-archs "$(uname -m) (+ -j10 in your case) is optimal for generating Xcode projects. The other flags are ignored anyway.
