Packaging XCode 7.2 Drag and Drop

[rqomsiya]

Hi all,

Due to Apple's certs expiring, i've been having issues packaging the new drag and drop method for XCode. Any thoughts? Just composer I guess?

Hi,
You might need to get it from the developers website https://developer.apple.com/downloads/
Cheers!

That's where I downloaded it from. But it's a drag and drop app now. No longer a pkg. It also seems to install developer tools as well when first launched.

oh, ok.

You need to package it using Composer to just copy the app to /Applications.
Then you need to run on a script (set on a policy to after)

/usr/sbin/DevToolsSecurity -enable

Accept Xcode License

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcodebuild -license accept

Install Additional Components

/usr/sbin/installer -pkg /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Resources/Packages/MobileDevice.pkg -target /

/usr/sbin/installer -pkg /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Resources/Packages/MobileDeviceDevelopment.pkg -target /

Cheers,

Found this link from @rtrouton. Looks like if i download it from the MAS it will download in .pkg format. I have the post-install scripts already. Thanks for the replies and help! Much appreciated!

I downloaded the xCode.app that goes in the Applications folder from the Developer program. When I try to make a package in Casper and I try to build the DMG it always fails with no error, just an error beep and the window will be frozen until i hit enter which it fails on. I can make any other package. I know its a huge app now, maybe 9GB? Is that probably why? Anyone packaged it this way?

Follow these instructions on getting the .pkg for XCode from the MAS:

Then you will need to run a few post install scripts. I'll post them later when I have my Mac on me.

Worked flawlessly.
