Package Manager for Xcode
Today I found noteworthy all developers writing for iOS / Mac OS and using Xcode, the project is a plugin manager for Xcode. The name of this project is Alcatraz . Seeing this miracle, I immediately wanted to test it, since the installation is carried out in three steps:
1. Launch the terminal
2. Paste the following code into the terminal window:
3. Press Enter.
We restart Xcode and in the Window menu we see a new item that opens the package manager window, also available by the Shift-Cmd-9 hotkey combination.
The package manager window looks like this:
At the top, there are filter buttons for the types of plugins. The main part of the window displays a list of available plugins. Installation and removal is carried out by a simple click on the checkmark opposite the plugin. If something went wrong when installing the plugin, you will see an error message in the status bar at the bottom of the window. In case of a successful installation, a recommendation to restart the environment will also appear there. Immediately, I was not able to put only Xcode color themes, but I didn’t really want to.
Now a list of pluginsnot great, but it can be supplemented by forking the repository on github, making your changes and sending a pull-request. I was able to find in this list 90% of the plugins I have ever heard of.
The package manager itself is in the alpha version and crashes and other difficulties are possible. But such a wonderful project, in my opinion, can be forgiven.
This product was destined to appear and I am very glad to see it. It will take its rightful place in my daily activities along with Cocoapods. I hope you enjoy it too.
