I searched around how to extract XIP archive using command line with no luck so I am leaving my own solution, as a bash
function, here.
I found my inspiration here.
@rexford if you just do open -W archive. xip from terminal that will launch bomArchiveHelper and unpack the xip in the current directory and will block until the unarchive is complete. I use this to open Xcode. xip via a shell call in Jenkins all the time.
Conversation. Tip: when expanding an Xcode XIP archive, use the command line (xip --expand) rather than Archive Utility.
You could try:
xip -x [path to .xip file]
On macOS Mojave (not sure about other OS versions), navigate to the directory into which you’d like to expand the contents, then run xip --expand /path/to/xip.xip
. For instance:
iMac:Applications jeff$ xip --expand /Users/jeff/Downloads/Xcode_11_Beta.xip
