How can you build RealmSwift for Swift 2.3 from sources using Xcode 8 IDE?

I see here that it is possible to build RealmSwift for swift 2.3 from the command-line.
I have RealmSwift as a dependent project within my workspace.

Is there a tag or commit of realm-cocoa that has the required SWIFT_VERSION = 2.3 buildSetting in Realm.xcodeproj to build my project within the Xcode 8 IDE?

To my knowledge, it's not possible to override an Xcode subproject's SWIFT_VERSION within the IDE. You can specify SWIFT_VERSION when invoking xcodebuild, which should also propagate to Xcode subprojects, but I don't know of any way to do that from the Xcode GUI.

I'd recommend either using an alternative form of installation (CocoaPods, Carthage or prebuilt binaries) or to fork realm-cocoa, changing the value of SWIFT_VERSION and using that fork as your Xcode subproject.

I'd also recommend filing a radar so that Apple can be made aware of this unfortunate limitation!

To answer your other question, no there have never been any releases of Realm where SWIFT_VERSION was set to 2.3 in the Xcode project.
