Hi guys,

Thanks for post-install scripts.
Just wanted tom mention xcode-install, which can help somehow.

As a result of the recent incident where a fake XCode was distributed to Chinese users and caused all kinds of mayhem, I don't think it would would be a good idea to download XCode from anywhere but directly from Apple.

took a look at xcode-install, you could script this
gem install fastlane
gem install xcode-install
fastlane-credentials add ?????
xcversion install 7.3.1
xcversion install-cli-tools

FYI, I was able to confirm that Xcode 7.3.1 does install and the standard post-install scripts we've all been using does finally work, and xcode now no longer prompts to install additional components. Unfortunately it looks like 7.3.1 is only for running on OSX 10.11.x.

Silly question, probably an easy answer. Wondering why the script above didn't run to install the tools and realized xcode installed right to the HD rather that /Applications. Fill me in on why a DMG would install an app to the HD, not /Applications?

Also, anyone get the "Xcode 7 library documentation" to install with this?

Thanks!
PS, such a helpful post, in a time jam for a deployment and it looks like this is going to be perfect!

@bpavlov @AVmcclint Just wanted to say thanks for all the info here, works beautifully in conjunction with Rich Trouton's MAS process.

Had a similar issue happen with Xcode 8.2.1 on macOS 10.12.3. Found that once I added this line to my scripts to also install:

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

It seemed MUCH happier.

@homepup Which script did you add that line to?

@stefmo Unfortunately, I'm not a JAMF user (still trying to convince the check-writers that it's worth it and will maybe allow my hair to grow back from less stress if we get it), but I cruise the forums for help and advice, so this was just a line added to my particular Xcode installation scripts for after imaging. Here's a copy of my current version (giving credit where it is due since 90% of this is borrowed from various sources/people/forums):

#!/bin/sh
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin export PATH

Has anyone tried the script on xcode 9 yet?

As of xcode 9 you will need this line added to the script

installer -pkg /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Resources/Packages/XcodeExtensionSupport.pkg -target /
