Xcode: View all TODO's in project

Question

Is there a way to view all TODO marks in an Xcode project?

I'm aware of how to do this in a file through the function drop down but wasn't sure how to see all in a project.

Answer 1

Instead of marking them as

//TODO: do something

I like to write them this way:

#warning TODO do something

That allows seeing them in the issue navigator. On production builds I even go as far as checking the "treat all warnings as errors" compiler setting.

Answer 2

You can add a "Run Script" Build Phase to your Target that will look through your entire project for TODO:|FIXME: marks and flag them as warnings.

This new Build Phase will then list all TODO marks as warnings in the Issue Navigator whenever you Build your project %+B.

Here's a link to Ben Dodson's tutorial for doing this with Swift files: https://bendodson.com/weblog/2014/10/02/showing-todo-as-warning-in-swift-xcode-project/

Here is a screenshot of how it looks with a project I've been working on:

Answer 3

A straight up text search is how I would do it.

Hit shift+command+F (⇧⌘F), and search for //TODO: (or however your TODOs are formatted)
