Installation

Download the executable binary from Releases

Download from Releases, then copy to /usr/local/bin/license-plist etc.

From Source

$ git clone https://github.com/mono0926/LicensePlist.git
$ make install

Or you can also install by one-liner.

curl -fsSL install.sh | sh

• Homebrew: Not supported yet.

Usage

1. On the directory same as Cartfile or Pods, simply execute license-plist.
2. com.mono0926.LicensePlist.Output directory will be generated.
3. Move the files in the output directory into your app's Settings.bundle.
   • Settings.bundle's sample is here
   • The point is to specify com.mono0926.LicensePlist as license list file on your Root.plist.

├── com.mono0926.LicensePlist
│   ├── APIKit.plist
│   ├── Alamofire.plist

Options

You can see options by license-plist --help.

--cartfile-path

• Default: Cartfile

--pods-path

• Default: Pods

--output-path

• Default: com.mono0926.LicensePlist.Output
• Recommended: --output-path YOUR_PRODUCT_DIR/Settings.bundle

--github-token

• Default: None.
• LicensePlist uses GitHub API, so sometimes API limit error occures, so by using github-token you can avoid it.
• You can generate token here
  • repo scope is needed.

--config-path

• Default: license_plist.yml
• You can specify GitHub libraries(introduced by hand) and excluded libraries
  • Example is here

--force

• Default: false
• LicensePlist saves latest libraries, so if there are no libraries change, iterrupt.
  • In this case, excecution time is less than 100ms for the most case, so you can run LicensePlist at Build - Pre-actions every time 🎉
• You can run all the way anyway, by using --force flag.

--add-version-numbers

• Default: false
• When the library name is SomeLibrary, by adding --add-version-numbers flag, the name will be changed to SomeLibrary (X.Y.Z).
  • X.Y.Z is parsed from CocoaPods and Cartfile information, and GitHub libraries specified at Config YAML also support this flag.

Integrate into build

Add Run Script to Build - Pre-actions:

if [ $CONFIGURATION = "Debug" ]; then
cd $SRCROOT
/usr/local/bin/license-plist --output-path $PRODUCT_NAME/Settings.bundle
fi
