$ update_xcode_plugins

This tool adds the missing UUIDs into the installed Xcode plug-ins so that they can be loaded by newer versions of Xcode.

You can choose to run it once or install a launch agent that will trigger the tool every time any of your installed plugins are modified or Xcode/Xcode-beta gets updated.

This tool also allows you to unsign Xcode in order to run plugins on Xcode 8 and later. For more information on why this is needed, see alcatraz/Alcatraz#475.

Install

$ gem install update_xcode_plugins

(if using system ruby: sudo gem install update_xcode_plugins)

Usage

In Terminal:

$ update_xcode_plugins

To use plugins on Xcode 8 and later, unsign Xcode with:

$ update_xcode_plugins --unsign

If you need to unsign without creating a copy of Xcode, at your own risk, use the command:

$ update_xcode_plugins --unsafe-unsign

Other options

For a dry run to see which plugins will be updated,

$ update_xcode_plugins --dry-run

To install the launch agent for automatically updating plugins,

$ update_xcode_plugins --install-launch-agent

or to uninstall the launch agent,

$ update_xcode_plugins --uninstall-launch-agent
