xcode-behaviors

Custom Xcode behaviors and shell scripts for iOS/macOS development productivity.

Quick Setup

1. Clone this repository
2. Make scripts executable: chmod +x *.sh
3. In Xcode: Settings... → Behaviors → +
4. Configure behavior with script path and keyboard shortcut

Available Behaviors

Open Derived Data Folder

Script: behaviors/open-derived-data.sh

Opens the folder containing build products, indexes, and simulator data.

Open Project in Cursor

External Repository: cursor-behavior-for-xcode

Opens the currently active file from Xcode in Cursor at the exact caret position (line and column). This functionality has been moved to its own dedicated repository for better maintenance and distribution.

Troubleshooting

General Issues

• Script not running: Check execute permissions (chmod +x script.sh)
• Path issues: Use absolute paths in Xcode Behaviors
• Shortcut conflicts: Use Cmd + Shift + [Letter] combinations

External Behavior Issues

• Cursor behavior: For issues with the Cursor integration, see the cursor-behavior-for-xcode repository

Xcode Behavior Issues

If behaviors work in Terminal but not from Xcode:

1. Verify script path: Ensure you're using the absolute path in Xcode Behaviors
2. Check execute permissions: Run chmod +x script.sh to make scripts executable
3. AppleScript permissions: Grant Terminal/Xcode permission to control other applications in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Automation
4. Test manually: Run scripts from Terminal first to verify they work
