I have downloaded XCode 11 from the apple website and I am trying to upgrade my code to Swift 5.1 but XCode isn't giving met that option. Also, I don't see iOS 13 simulators available. I have never had this problem before so what am I missing? My OS was updated to MacOS Catalina

You can also update every single Swift Package in your project at once. To do this, open the Files menu, navigate to Packages and then click Update to Latest Package Versions. Afterwards, make sure to test your project to see if everything still works, especially in projects with a lot of package dependencies.
Xcode 12 contains the next Swift update bundled, version 5.3. The more the Swift language advances, the more features we all get, resulting to better, safer, clearer and more robust code. Once again Swift brings improvements that most of them will be proved useful to all developers.
Swift 5.6. Swift 5.6 is available as part of Xcode 13.3.
First of all note that the "Swift Language Version" dropdown doesn't select a compiler version, but rather a compatibility mode for the compiler to run in (more on that here).
Arguably the dropdown menu is mislabelled in this case, as the "Swift 5" option really means "Swift 5.1" in Xcode 11. This can be demonstrated by running the following:
#if swift(<5.1) print("Less than 5.1") #else print("At least 5.1") #endif You'll see that At least 5.1 gets printed. Interestingly this means that there's actually no way to run a 5.1 compiler with a compatibility language version of 5.0.
