SwiftFormat is disabled in Xcode 12 Beta 5

Created on 19 Aug 2020 · 7Comments · Source: nicklockwood/SwiftFormat

Installed SwiftFormat today, but can't get it to work.
I can see the option SwiftFormat in Xcode Editor menu, but it's disabled.

I've just installed Xcode 12 Beta 5. I'm on macOS 11.0-beta (20A5343i).

I read in the release-notes that extension should work in Xcode 12.

I've activated the extension etc.

Deprecations
For compatibility with new security features in macOS 11, Xcode extensions must be built using Xcode 12 and must embed XcodeKit.framework. An Xcode extension rebuilt with these tools remains compatible with older versions of Xcode and macOS. (51822755)

@weenzeel @hovaks ah, apologies then - I've linked XcodeKit but not built with Xcode 12. You'll need to build it yourself from source.

It works fine with Xcode 12 Beta 5 on 10.15.6 fwiw.

Wasn't this fixed in PR https://github.com/nicklockwood/SwiftFormat/pull/669?

Should be just a case doing your own build.

Edit
I see you're sorted.
Should have read to the end, I guess!
