Packaging Xcode 5.0.2

[a_simmons]

Would any body be able to assist I am wanting to package Xcode 5.0.2 with its components installed and make the users be in the developer group when they use the program.
I have used composer and captured the program, when its opened I get a prompt saying Xcode needs to install components. How have other people gone about this?

[jwojda]

have you looked at the links in this thread?

[rtrouton]

To go along with the links provided in @jwojda][/url's link, I have a post on how I'm creating an Xcode 5.0.2 installer:

[a_simmons]

Thanks for the help. I managed to package Xcode 5.0.2, do you know of away to leave developer mode enabled?

[hurtado]

I wanted to follow-up with regards to this question as I followed the steps outlined by @rtrouton (thanks very much for putting all that work in) but I'm still getting the prompt about installing additional components when I first launch Xcode.

@a.simmons did you have to do anything else to clear that prompt or did you get that built into your package?

[RobertHammen]

I haven't packaged Xcode 5.0.2, but in previous versions the additional tools were embedded into the app bundle...

[hurtado]

In my case, I tried grabbing the pkg via the method linked from @rtrouton's steps (pausing the App Store download and creating a link). I also tried manual installs from the Apple Developer site and downloading directly from the App Store, and all cases, I receive the prompt to "Install additional required components?"

I'm still testing things further, but thought if anyone had already worked out a solution, it would be helpful.

[a_simmons]

Hi Hurtado,

I was receiving the same message to "Install additional required components". I tried to package it a number of ways but still got the same message as you. I had one department needing the application for their labs and students don't have right to install the additional components. I didn't have much time to get it ready for the beginning of semester, so I put XCode with the components install on the base image for that department for now and will need to try to repackage it when I have time.

[jwojda]

hurtado - same issue here.

[rtrouton]

The additional components may be the Mobile Device installer. Information on installing this package is available here:

https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/discussion.html?id=4034

[hurtado]

And it looks like 5.1 just dropped, so as good a time as any to try adding that piece in.

Thanks! I'll report back once I've tried it out.

[hurtado]

There were two packages listed in the /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Resources/Packages/ location and it worked in both 5.0.2 and 5.1 when I added both of them.

Here's the script I threw together that runs after the pkg installs.

Thanks all for the help!

#!/bin/sh

# Accept Xcode License

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

# Install Additional Components

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

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

[jwojda]

thank you for the script. did you package with composer or something else?

[charles_hitch]

Just a heads up that Apple included a new feature with 5.1 that is supposed to install the additional components for your rather than you having to manually install packages. Release notes state that if you run Xcode from the command line with -installComponents flag it will install required device support packages and then quit. In our testing this pops a message up to the user which requires admin rights. Users without admin can try to click the button, but nothing happens. I went back to the manual install of the device support packages. If anyone gets -installComponents working let me know.

[hurtado]

@jwojda I packaged 5.1 + command line tools using @rtrouton's steps for v5.0.2 http://derflounder.wordpress.com/2013/11/17/building-a-grand-unified-xcode-5-0-2-installer-for-maver...

The postinstall script needed a few modifications to work with updated package names, specifically changing the reference to "Xcode 5.0.2.pkg" to "Xcode 5.1.pkg" and the new command line tools dmg which is for march 2014 instead of october 2013, though these names depend on what name you give the packages when you download/save them.

You could likely include my script (outside of the opening "#! /bin/sh" line) at the end of the postinstall script and it would probably give you an even cleaner policy in the JSS that just uses the pkg instead of a pkg and a script.

If I find the time, I may look to put a few more variables in at the top of the script to make it easier to find/update the package names for future updates.

[jwojda]

I gotta be doing something wrong. I updated for the March 2014, and CLTools, added both as additional resources as absolute path, as well as my pkg file from 5.1. Ran the installer, and it seems to go through, but then errors out ...

Double check to make sure the Xcode 5.1 file is named right. The installer is having trouble locating the file:

No file found at path: /tmp/PKInstallSandbox.4knXYg/Scripts/com.mygreatcompany.pkg.Xcode51.hFctYC/Xcode 5.1.pkg

When I had that error, it was because I had the file named something else.

I'm actually working on this right now myself. I downloaded Xcode from the Developer site and am dropping the .app file into Applications instead of running the .PKG file.

[jwojda]

after much trial and error with the scripts (and eventually mapping the path in the logs to see what was actually being dumped into the folders vs what the script was calling) I found you're right Stevewood. a capital C needed to be added and a . needed to be removed. Ugh. Damn my lack of attention to detail for this stuff. and damn apple/packages/computers in general for not understanding what I mean, not necessarily what I tell it.

[jwojda]

is there an easy way to tell if the mobile device stuff got installed? I checked the command line and apparently the system reports the CLTools are installed, but I can't find anything on the mobile devices.

[hurtado]

I guess this would be one advantage to not putting my additional script in with the Xcode package, but keeping it as a separate script in the JSS.

As a separate script, I see the following output when I look at the log for the policy in the computer history:

Script result: installer: Package name is MobileDevice installer: Upgrading at base path / installer: The upgrade was successful.
installer: Package name is MobileDeviceDevelopment installer: Upgrading at base path / installer: The upgrade was successful.

Otherwise, the way I could tell that the Mobile Device packages installed was simply opening xcode and noting that I didn't get any prompts for admin credentials/additional components.

[stevewood]

I just finished getting 5.1 packaged along with the Command Line tools and the Simulators. I used the following two resources for gaining the knowledge on how to do so:

Rich's blog: http://goo.gl/VDdSDH

Tim Sutton's Blog: http://goo.gl/AzGl24

To get the Simulators to work, I had to update the PKG files to include the install-location information in the PackageInfo file. Following the steps that Tim explains, I used pkgutil to expand the PKG, changed the PackageInfo file, and then re-flatten into a true PKG file. I then added some lines to Rich's postinstall script to install the simulators.

The result is an Xcode 5.1 package that installs the app, installs the MobileDevice and MobileDeviceDevelopment packages, accepts the EULA, and adds the logged in user to the _developer group. This is exactly what I need to be able to deploy as a Self Service item, or as a login policy.

Here's the postinstall script:

Thanks to Rich and Tim for doing the heavy lifting!

Hope this helps someone.

@stevewood
FYI:
For OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) Command Line Tools are built in to Xcode. So no need to install them manually.

[jwojda]

the simulators are part of the xcode package or do they need to be downloaded seperately? I didn't see them on the Dev site.

[stevewood]

They are downloaded separately. If you read Tim's blog post:

http://macops.ca/xcode-deployment-the-dvtdownloadableindex-and-ios-simulators/

He walks through how you can find the URL for the downloads. He found it using Charles Web Proxy to figure out the URL of each download. I did the same, but you can also look at this file:

https://devimages.apple.com.edgekey.net/downloads/xcode/simulators/index-3905972D-B609-49CE-8D06-51A...

Which should give you the URLs for the CLI tools and for the simulators.

[CarrieNZ]

Thanks hurtado for the script, ran it postflight and it works a treat for 5.1.1 :)

[leegalan]

Yes, thank you @hurtado ! This script worked great for me as well with 6.2. I'm sure it will also work with 6.3.

[antoinekinch]

Does this work for Xcode 8.2.1?
