A Ruby command-line tool that adds missing UUIDs to installed Xcode plugins so they load in newer Xcode versions, and can unsign Xcode to enable plugins on Xcode 8+. It also offers a launch agent to automatically re-run whenever plugins or Xcode are updated.
Use cases
- make old Xcode plugins load in newer Xcode versions
- unsign Xcode to enable plugin support on Xcode 8+
- automatically update plugin UUIDs whenever Xcode updates
- restore a signed Xcode after unsigning
- preview which plugins will be modified before changing them
When to choose
- you use legacy Xcode plugins that lack UUIDs for your Xcode version
- you need plugin support on Xcode 8 or later and accept unsigning Xcode
- you want automatic plugin patching via a launch agent
When to avoid
- you rely on Xcode code signing for enterprise/security policies
- you use modern Xcode extensions instead of legacy plugins
- you need a maintained tool - the last release was in 2018
