API breaking changes in minor release 8.23.0

[rkoliver311]

Context 🕵️‍♀️

I use XcodeProj in a Swift command line tool to export information about project dependencies. For example, outputting the package dependencies of a target using XcodeProj's PBXTarget.packageProductDependencies property.

What 🌱

Release 8.23.0 contains an API-breaking change. The return type of the packageProductDependencies was made optional:

public var packageProductDependencies: [XCSwiftPackageProductDependency]?

Which means a function like this:

func foo(for target: PBXTarget) -> [Foo] {
    return target.packageProductDependencies.map { ... }
}

Must now also be made optional: func foo(for target: PBXTarget) -> [Foo]? or the function must be updated to guard against nil:

func foo(for target: PBXTarget) -> [Foo] {
    guard let packageProductDependencies = target.packageProductDependencies else {
        return []
    }
    return target.packageProductDependencies.map { ... }
}

Proposal 🎉

To adhere to semver, this should have been a major release. Rollback or re-release as 9.0.0?
