I am new to xcode and ios development. recently I've seen the xcode releases with, for example xcode 6.0 GM and then xcode 6.0. I wonder what should we do with the GM or we need to wait until the non GM release in order to build ios app.
could anyone explain me about this ?

What Does Golden Master (GM) Mean? Golden master is a stage in the software release cycle in which the software is in its full and final development stage and is ready to be delivered to the customer or to be published commercially.
A GM build signifies that Apple is very close to the final version of the release of the operating systems, one that would ship as a full release and not as a beta. Typically, the release occurs to coincide with the launch of major products, which this year includes the iPhone 13.
Beta versions of Xcode include the latest toolset and SDKs for creating apps that run on upcoming releases of an operating system. Xcode betas are available to all developers on the download page. Apple Developer Program membership is not required.
Xcode 6.0 GM (Golden Master) is the version released before 6.0, and it can be used to build & submit to App Store, which is not possible with other betas.
This is necessary because apps should, ideally, be updated before a new iOS is officially released. Waiting for the official new Xcode would be too late, since it is always released with the new iOS.
