Install iOS SDKs in external SSD?

Hi,


I don't need the iOS SDKs and simulators very often so I want to move them to an external SSD to use the space on my MacBook for other data. How is that possible?


Thanks in advance

I don’t know of a supported way to do that, but they can be deleted and re-downloaded from Apple as needed.
