Alcatraz is an open-source package manager for Xcode 7 that lets users discover and install plugins, templates, and color schemes from within the IDE. It installs itself as part of Xcode and is no longer maintained, as Xcode 8 dropped plugin support.
Use cases
- install xcode plugins without manually cloning files
- browse and install xcode color schemes
- manage xcode project templates
- discover xcode extensions from inside the ide
When to choose
- you are stuck on Xcode 7 and want a GUI package manager for plugins, templates, and color schemes
When to avoid
- you use Xcode 8 or newer, which does not support plugins
- you need a maintained tool with active support
