Xcode Command Line Tools Version

[lsv]

I'm trying to create an extension attribute for the version of Xcode Command Line Tools that is installed on each machine.

The goal is to eventually have a patch policy to regularly update the versions as needed.

The closest I have found is this post, however the attribute seems to no longer work and I can't seem to find any documentation to gather the version of Command Line Tools.

If anyone has had any luck with this recently I would greatly appreciate any guidance.

@lsv Here's an updated EA that returns the Command Line Tools version, or "Not Installed" if they're not installed:

#!/bin/sh

result="Not Installed"
CLIToolsVersion=$(pkgutil --pkg-info=com.apple.pkg.CLTools_Executables | grep version | cut -d ' ' -f 2)
if [ -n "$CLIToolsVersion" ]; then
	result="$CLIToolsVersion"
fi

echo "<result>$result</result>"

[lsv]

Thank you!
