I had to do the same because I could no longer make Archive builds for my app without internal Swift compiler errors.

So I created a folder called Xcode 8.3 and move the buggy Xcode app into it. Then I manually downloaded Xcode 8.2.1 and reinstalled. Google it and you'll find the archive.

Caveats:

If you've already updated your devices to iOS 10.3, you will not be able to install a build from Xcode 8.2.1. And I could not reinstall iOS 10.2.1 because of cryptic internal errors like 27 and 54. And a complete wipe of your iPhone will not help — you'll only lose data that way and have to set up your Wallet cards all over again. Not fun!
If you save a Storyboard in Xcode 8.3 and then reopen that Storyboard in Xcode 8.2.1, you'll see a bunch of blue outlines around each element and no text. So you won't really be able to edit your Storyboard anymore without bouncing between the two versions of Xcode.

Apple: These issues cost us devs time and money. They are due to your negligence and heads should be rolling. We developers are NOT your QA department.

...seems Apple is treating dev tools as permanent betas now (it's a thing), so...that's exactly what we are 😟
