Xcode Script - Get Bundle ID from build settings instead of info.plist

Question

I'm using Receigen for Apple receipt checking. I have integrated a script on my build process that generates the appropriate files for my project:

    # Receigen binary
RECEIGEN="/Applications/Receigen.app/Contents/MacOS/Receigen"

# Extract Info.plist information
INPUT="$INFOPLIST_FILE"
BUNDLE_ID=`/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print CFBundleIdentifier" "$INPUT"`
BUNDLE_VERSION=`/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print CFBundleShortVersionString" "$INPUT"`

# Expand information if needed
EXPANDED_BUNDLE_ID=`eval "echo $BUNDLE_ID"`
EXPANDED_BUNDLE_VERSION=`eval "echo $BUNDLE_VERSION"`

# Make sure the destination directory exists
mkdir -p "$DERIVED_FILES_DIR"
HEADER="$DERIVED_FILES_DIR/receiptCheck.h"

# Check if the generation is needed
if [ -e "$HEADER" ]; then
SKIP=`grep -q "$EXPANDED_BUNDLE_ID" "$HEADER" && grep -q "$EXPANDED_BUNDLE_VERSION" "$HEADER" && echo "YES"`
fi

# Generate the header file if needed
if [ "x$SKIP" = "x" ]; then
"$RECEIGEN" --identifier "$EXPANDED_BUNDLE_ID" --version "$EXPANDED_BUNDLE_VERSION" --failure 'exitwith173' --success 'runapplication' --os osx > "$HEADER"
fi

The problem with Xcode 7 is with this line:

BUNDLE_ID=`/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print CFBundleIdentifier" "$INPUT"`

Because the BundleID on the new Xcode is on the build settings instead of Info.plist I believe the key on the build settings is $(PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER)

Is there a way to extract the Bundle Id from the build settings on the script ?

Answer 1

You can just use the $PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER instead of hardcoding the bundle id:

EXPANDED_BUNDLE_ID=$PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER

(Note that there are no parentheses around PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER).

You can then delete the line that starts with BUNDLE_ID= because it is no longer necessary.

Answer 2

It's very easy :

BUNDLE_ID= xcodebuild -showBuildSettings | grep PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER

echo $BUNDLE_ID
