Xcode 15 not respecting Welcome Window settings
After updating to Xcode 15, the application does not respect user desire to not be spammed by the welcome window. In fact, in what appears to be a very annoying product decision, Apple seems to have removed the checkbox from the welcome window all together. A simple defaults read -app Xcode XCShowWelcomeWindow will show that the setting is still present in defaults, and still set to false, but the application just doesn't check it and spams the window anyway on process launch. Altering this default setting manually has no effect. In English, the window has not changed title, so you can still just run a script to watch for it and close it or even prevent it from opening at the quartz level if you wish. I ran an apple script to grab the window title to check: osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get the title of every window of the process "Xcode"' Is there another setting or defaults option we can overwrite in order to stop this annoying behavior in a more official way, aside from continuing to use other tools and interact with xcodebuild?
