Package dependency errors when using Xcode Test for iOS step

Issue:

When using the Xcode Test for iOS Step for a project with Swift Package Manager based dependencies, you receive one of the following errors:

xcodebuild: error: Could not resolve package dependencies:
Authentication failed because no credentials were provided.
Fetching git@github.com:user/project-name.git
xcodebuild: error: Could not resolve package dependencies:
An unknown error occurred

Possible solutions:

For the first error:

1. In the xcodebuild configuration section of the Xcode Test for iOS Step, add the -disableAutomaticPackageResolution flag in the Additional options for xcodebuild build test field. This flag ensures that the package dependencies defined in the Package.resolved file are used.

For the second error:

1. Make sure that SSH is used for private repositories rather that HTTPS.

2. Add the Authenticate with GitHub OAuth Sep after the Git Clone Repository Step.
