How to change entire copyright notice template for Xcode?

Question

I've found a few answers on how to change your company name, but is there any way to change the entire copyright template in Xcode?

For example:

Change :

(c) 2012 MyCoolCompany

to :

(c) 2012 MyCoolCompany, unauthorized reproduction is prohibited, contact [email protected] for details, etc.

Answer 1

Go to :

/Developer/Library/Xcode/Templates/File Templates

or if you're using the newer self contained Xcode.app,

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Library/Xcode/Tem‌​plates/File Templates

To avoid the templates from being clobbered by Xcode updates, make a copy of the template that you want to edit and move it to your home library folder–

~/Library/Application Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/File Templates

If - let's say - it's the Objective-C class template you want to change then, go to the following subdirectory :

/Cocoa/Objective-C class.xctemplate

Open :

NSObject/___FILEBASENAME___.h
NSObject/___FILEBASENAME___.m

And edit them.

Hint : You'll have to tweak as many template files as you need (e.g. if you need your copyright header to be valid for NSDocument subclasses, then make sure you edit those files too... ;-))

An example (of what my ___FILEBASENAME___ files look like) :

/******************************************************
 | ___PROJECTNAME___
 |******************************************************
 | File : ___FILENAME___
 | 
 | Created on ___DATE___
 | By Ioannis Zafeiropoulos (a.k.a. Dr.Kameleon)
 |*********************************************************************
