Research direction

Start by reproducing the documented skip init command with --swift-version 6.2 and compare it with the skip init options listed in the linked CLI documentation. Trace the init option handling and verify that the documented option is accepted without the reported unknown-option error.

I am getting an error when using skip init with --swift-version. The option is listed in the docs, I assume this may be a bug? (Using skip 1.7.0)

skip init  --native-app --appid=apptest.sandbox apptest-sandbox AppTestSandbox --ios-min-version 26.0 --swift-version 6.2

skip init  --native-app --appid=apptest.sandbox apptest-sandbox AppTestSandbox --swift-version 6.2 
Error: Unknown option '--swift-version'
