Failed to Install the Xcode Editor Extension

Open trevinwisaksana opened this issue 6 years ago • 7 comments

Hi, I have an issue with installing the Editor Extension. When I dragged the Editor Extension to my Applications folder, the Extensions panel in the Systems Preferences does not show "Xcode Source Editor Extensions". Moreover, Xcode is not able to detect this extension either. In other words, I believe the extension fails to install. I am using a MacBook Pro late-2013 running macOS Sierra 10.13.4 and Xcode 9.3.

I have searched for solutions and found suggestions such as typing sudo /usr/libexec/xpccachectl on my Terminal (which does not work) and rebooting my MacBook Pro. Do you have any idea on what the issue may be? Could it be a compatibility issue or am I not installing it correctly? Thanks!

Did you run the application after installing it?

Yes, I did. It showed a short list of instructions. I opened System Preferences and clicked on Extensions as written on the instructions. But Xcode Source Editor is nowhere to be found.

Hmm, I don't know what the issue could be then. Your OS version and setup sounds identical to mine.

This is what it looks like for me when installed: screen shot 2018-05-16 at 10 40 08

Gotcha, I'll try to install other Xcode Source Editor Extensions and see if it reacts the same way. If it does, it's probably my setup. Thanks for your help :)

Would there be reasons for Layout Extensions not to work with macOS 10.14 and XCODE 10? I have successfully installed this as an XCODE Extension and even see 'Layout' in the XCODE / Editor menu but it is grayed out for some reason. Thanks.

After a computer reboot. All working now! Awesome library by the way.
