This repo contains scripts I've made to streamline things.
This AppleScript will
- *+Clean the active Xcode workspace
- *Quit Xcode
- Permanently delete the contents of the Derived Data folder
- Reset all installed iOS simulators
- *If all of the above worked correctly, reopen the currently active Xcode workspace.
* These require that the script be ran with an Xcode workspace document open. The Xcode window does not have to be the top-most window though, just open. If a workspace document is not open when this is ran, these steps will be skipped.
+ Before Xcode 8, there is was a bug where it says it's done cleaning when it's really not. Be sure to pay attention to the second dialog window that displays. You'll need to click Continue when Xcode is really done cleaning, otherwise, the script won't close Xcode correctly. This isn't an issue if you're running Xcode 8 and pull tag:Xcode8.
I have put this in my ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Xcode folder and enabled the AppleScript menu. That allows for quick access to the script when I need it.
This script can be run during the build phase of an Xcode project to automatically generate a build number. The number will be equal to the number of git commits in the current branch.
Many people seem to base the number off of number of commits in the master branch, but I did it this way for a couple reasons:
- You don't always only distribute builds using the Release configuration. For example, release candidates, demo builds, etc.
- Crash logs that include the build number will correspond to a specific commit (or rather code between two commits in the case of uncommitted changes).
This script should be added to a build phase anytime after the Copy Bundle Resources phase. To be safe, I usually make this the last phase.
Note: To avoid distributing builds that are one number lower than what you expect, be sure to commit any changes prior to distributing a build.
Put this script in a folder that's in your Unix PATH, then run xcw-open from the command line to open an Xcode workspace while your pwd is the project folder. This is useful when you have to close the Xcode workspace, run something on the command line (maybe pod install), then reopen Xcode.
Note: This only opens the .xcworkspace file in the current directory. You can easily edit this to check the ls output and open the .xcproject file it no .xcworkspace file exists.
This script will merge the current branch into develop with the --no-ff flag. Sometimes, you don't want to add the --no-ff flag to every merge in a specific repo or branch. This script is a must for lazy developers, especially those that don't use the command line.
If you're using SourceTree, it can be even harder or impossible to setup your preferences to do what you want by default. You can create a Custom Action to run this script. It doesn't require any parameters because it reads the name of the branch that's currently checked out internally. For more information on SourceTree Custom Actions, click here.
