 However, in order to successfully build the project in Xcode, **you must use an Xcode toolchain with an extremely recent version of Swift**. The Swift website provides [Xcode toolchains to download](https://swift.org/download/#latest-development-snapshots), as well as [instructions on how to use Xcode with those toolchains](https://swift.org/download/#apple-platforms). Swift development moves fairly quickly, and so even a week-old toolchain may no longer work.
 
-> If none of the toolchains available to download are recent enough to build XCTest, you may build your own toolchain by using the [`utils/build-toolchain` script](https://github.com/apple/swift/blob/master/utils/build-toolchain) in the Swift repository.
