xcode_install

Make sure a certain version of Xcode is installed

The xcode-install gem, which this action depends on, has been sunset. Please migrate to xcodes. You can find a migration guide here: xcpretty/xcode-install/MIGRATION.md

Makes sure a specific version of Xcode is installed. If that's not the case, it will automatically be downloaded by the xcode_install gem. This will make sure to use the correct Xcode for later actions.

Documentation

To show the documentation in your terminal, run

fastlane action xcode_install

CLI

It is recommended to add the above action into your Fastfile, however sometimes you might want to run one-offs. To do so, you can run the following command from your terminal

fastlane run xcode_install

To pass parameters, make use of the : symbol, for example

fastlane run xcode_install parameter1:"value1" parameter2:"value2"

It's important to note that the CLI supports primitive types like integers, floats, booleans, and strings. Arrays can be passed as a comma delimited string (e.g. param:"1,2,3"). Hashes are not currently supported.

It is recommended to add all fastlane actions you use to your Fastfile.


Source code

This action, just like the rest of fastlane, is fully open source, view the source code on GitHub
