xcode-toolbox

A CLI tool which aims to provide a convenient operation toolbox on XCode project. It's faster and cleaner than xed. You can use it to:

(1) Open XCode project or workspace. 
(2) Remove project's derived data, or just the Build or Index folder.
(3) [WIP] Force kill XCode process. 
(4) [WIP] Generate Objective-C function signatures.

The argument path is a path to the directory containing at least 1 .xcodeproj or .xcworkspace file, default to the current directory. .xcworkspace has higher priority than .xcodeproj.

Installation

pip3 install xcode-toolbox

Requirements

• Python 3.6+
• requests
• click

Usage

Usage: xc [OPTIONS] [PATH]

  A CLI tool which aims to provide a convenient operation toolbox on XCode
  project. It's faster and cleaner than `xed`. You can use it to: (1) open
  XCode project or workspace. (2) remove project's derived data. (3) [WIP]
  force kill XCode process. (4) [WIP] generate Objective-C function
  signatures.

  The argument `path` is a path to the directory containing at least 1
  `.xcodeproj` or `.xcworkspace` file, default to the current directory.
  `.xcworkspace` has higher priority than `.xcodeproj`.

Options:
  --rm-all    Remove the project's derived data in
              ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData.

  --rm-build  Similar to --rm-all, but only remove the `Build` subdirectory.
  --rm-index  Similar to --rm-all, but only remove the `Index` subdirectory.
  --help      Show this message and exit.

Example

1. open a XCode project or workspace
   • specify folder explicitly

   git clone git@github.com:SDWebImage/SDWebImage.git ~/GitHub
   xc ~/GitHub/SDWebImage/Examples
   

   • open project/workspace of current folder without parameters

   git clone git@github.com:SDWebImage/SDWebImage.git
   cd SDWebImage/Examples
   xc
   

2. clear project derived folder

# remove project's index from derived data
xc <Path> --rm-index

# remove project's build from derived data
xc <Path> --rm-build

#remove project's all derived data
xc <Path> --rm-all

Todo features

• toolbox subcommands
  • kill subcommand. To kill all running XCode processes, equivalent to the following shell command.

  kill $(ps aux | grep 'Xcode' | awk '{print $2}')
  

  • find subcommand. Find a source file/project file(s) under the given directory tree.
  • generate Objective-C method signature.
• clear XCode project index folder
• clear XCode project derivedData folder
