Swift tool chain 5.9 support

[EddieMeng]

Hello, I really appreciate this swift tool chain created by you guys. It is such a good technical design with lots of benefit. I'am delighted to see that this project is continuously evolving. May I know when will we have next release version supporting Swift 5.9? @andriydruk
Thank you very much for your help。

Currently, the swift-android-toolchain 5.7 has below error when running with swift tool chain 5.9:
'swift': missingKey("product_type")

My macbook environement:

• [ MacOS Sonoma 14.1]

• [ Xcode Version] Version 15.2

• [ Macbook Pro with Apple M3 chip]

• [ Swift version]:
  swift --version
  swift-driver version: 1.87.3 Apple Swift version 5.9.2 (swiftlang-5.9.2.2.56 clang-1500.1.0.2.5)
  Target: arm64-apple-macosx14.0

Hi Eddie,

We have a plan to start working on Swift 5.9 in the nearest feature. Unfortunately, we don't have a dedicated team that works on this project permanently. That's why we switched back and forth from our day-to-day Spark development.

Currently all our team members are on macOS Ventura with Xcode 14 and Swift 5.7
The current version of the toolchain doesn't work on Sonoma (thanks to Apple for breaking support of the previous version of Swift every year 👏)

@andriydruk How is the progress of support for the Swift toolchain 5.9 or 5.10 going?
