Hello

Anyone here, which used the guide for the xcode installation from:

Deploying Xcode on managed devices (jamf.com)

everything works for me til i start to install it via self service. After downloading the pkg

i receive in my log:

no app at /Applications/Xcode.app, exiting

 

I am using the script from:

Configure Xcode post installation script with SDK download for Xcode 14 and 15 (github.com)

#!/bin/sh export PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin xcodePath="/Applications/Xcode.app" if [ ! -e "$xcodePath" ]; then echo "no app at $xcodePath, exiting..." exit 1 fi # select Xcode xcode-select -s "$xcodePath" # accept license xcodebuild -license accept # install additional components xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch # add everyone (every local account) to developer group dseditgroup -o edit -a everyone -t group _developer # enable dev tools security DevToolsSecurity -enable # download platform SDK # all available platforms # xcodebuild -downloadAllPlatforms # update previously downloaded platforms # xcodebuild -downloadAllPreviouslySelectedPlatforms # download individual platforms (repeat for each) # options are: watchOS, tvOS, and (Xcode 15+) iOS, and xrOS #xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS #xcodebuild -downloadPlatform watchOS

I tried to comment a few things in the script:

xcodePath="/Applications/Xcode.app" #if [ ! -e "$xcodePath" ]; then # echo "no app at $xcodePath, exiting..." # exit 1 #fi # select Xcode xcode-select -s "$xcodePath" # accept license xcodebuild -license accept # install additional components xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch # add everyone (every local account) to developer group dseditgroup -o edit -a everyone -t group _developer # enable dev tools security DevToolsSecurity -enable

the only difference is, that the pkg is in the application folder.

Result from policy is:

i dont understand why the pkg is not installing the xcode app in the applications folder

someone a idea how to solve it. 

thx in advance

Can you not use ABM / App Store to deploy Xcode ?

Check your script is set to run AFTER the pkg install 

hello

thank you for your answer. The last time (maybe one year ago) when i tried to run it via appstore/abm it was running multiple hours. This was the reason i do not tested it now. 

Script is set to run after in the policy and in the script settings as well.

It's a large download... so it can take a while.. depending on connection etc. Caching servers can help here if users are office bound. 

 

Xcode.app is a directory.. try:  ! -d 

#if [ ! -d "$xcodePath" ]; then # echo "no app at $xcodePath, exiting..." # exit 1 #fi

do you mean this one?

#if [ ! -d "$xcodePath" ]; then # echo "no app at $xcodePath, exiting..." # exit 1 #fi

do you mean this one?


yup.. also add:

set -x 

after the shebang.. so you get all the output while testing.

#!/bin/sh set -x

 

looking again..have you commented out the if statement?

thx i forgot completely about the set -x.

Yep, i commented out now the if statement and will try with set -x

in the meantime i tried also via appstore and are running in an error after dont know how much minutes

It looks to me like you might have a corrupt pkg. I would redownload Xcode and try with a new package.   

Thank you for your help guys.
The issue was using the wrong xcode version for the latest macos build.

So after reset the macbook to factory, creating a new pkg everything is working flawless.
