Plugins are tagged to work with specific versions of Xcode. This means that when a new Xcode version comes out, all 3rd party plugins created by the community will fail until they add the UUID specific to that version. If this particular template doesn’t work and you don’t see the new menu action, you may need to add support for your version of Xcode.
To add this, run the following command in Terminal:
defaults read /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Info DVTPlugInCompatibilityUUID |
This command will output a UUID for your current Xcode. Open the Info.plist of the plugin and navigate to the DVTPlugInCompatibilityUUID key to add the value to the array:
Note: Throughout this tutorial, you’ll be running and making changes to an installed Xcode plugin. This will change the behavior of Xcode, and potentially make Xcode crash! If you want to disable a plugin, you’ll need to manually remove it using Terminal:
cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/Plug-ins/ rm -r Rayrolling.xcplugin/ |
…and then restart Xcode.
