How to install apollo-ios-cli from the Swift Package using the command line?

I am using apollo-ios library via the Swift Package Manager, and I can install apollo-ios-cli from the Xcode menu. However, when building my app in a CI/CD environment, the tool cannot interact with this GUI menu, so it has to install the apollo-ios-cli using the command line.

I can do that using the following commands:

dirs=(~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/my-app-name-*)
cd "${dirs[1]}"/SourcePackages/checkouts/apollo-ios

swift package plugin --allow-writing-to-package-directory apollo-cli-install

cd $SOURCE_DIR
"${dirs[1]}"/SourcePackages/checkouts/apollo-ios/apollo-ios-cli generate

However, this approach uses a wildcard to search for the build directory, which makes it a bit fragile.

Is there a simpler way?

I could not find a solution, so I finally gave up on that approach. Instead, I wrote a shell script that downloads a apollo-ios-cli and runs code generation. It looks like the following.

# Use the same version of the Apollo library that you are using.
CLI_URL="https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-ios/releases/download/1.3.3/apollo-ios-cli.tar.gz"

curl -L $CLI_URL -o apollo-ios-cli.tar.gz
tar -xzf apollo-ios-cli.tar.gz
chmod +x apollo-ios-cli

./apollo-ios-cli generate

This is not the actual solution, but it can be a workaround.
