You need to use xcode-select to pick the Xcode 12 beta.

You can run it directly from the Xcode folder. Just run something like this:

Code Block xcrun "/Users/juraj/Downloads/Xcode-beta 2.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/safari-web-extension-converter" /your_ext_path

(I have no idea why my Xcode is installed in Downloads folder... I'm new to Mac environment)

I am on Catalina and have XCode 12 beta 6 and Safari Technology Preview installed but am getting the following :-

Code Block % sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode-beta.app 
Password:

Code Block % xcrun safari-web-extension-converter /Users/aarongray/Desktop/DevelopingASafariWebExtension
safari-web-extension-converter requires at least Safari 14.0 to run.
Unable to parse manifest.json at file:///Users/aarongray/Desktop/DevelopingASafariWebExtension

I have set the Safari Technology Preview as the defualt browser but that did not help.
