Bad Info.plist created for Xcode 10.0 about xcodelegacy HOT 8 CLOSED

The XcodeLegacy.sh script tries to use sed to write the new minimum SDK version into the embedded property list at /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Info.plist, but in Xcode 10 the plist file is in binary format, so sed corrupts it. Fortunately the script backs up the Info.plist to Info.plist-original alongside, so you can replace the bad version with the original.

As shipped, the original version declares the minimum version as 10.11, so if you don't need an SDK older than that, you're done. Otherwise, you can use BBEdit to edit the binary plist and manually enter the desired version (the key is "MinimumSDKVersion").

Hmm, I have the same problem on Xcode 10.1. However the reverted plist hasn't not helped. Any other insight what it might be?

Actually I take it back my error appears to be different.

Couldn't we detect the case when property list is binary, and then use plutil rather than sed?
See for example:
http://scriptingosx.com/2016/11/editing-property-lists/
plutil -replace otherkey -string othervalue test.plist

from xcodelegacy.

I could successfully install the legacy SDKs/Compilers on Xcode 10.1 by replacing the sed command:

mv "$PLATFORMDIR/Info.plist" "$PLATFORMDIR/Info.plist-original"
sed -e '/MinimumSDKVersion/{N;d;}' < "$PLATFORMDIR/Info.plist-original" > "$PLATFORMDIR/Info.plist"

with:

cp -p "$PLATFORMDIR/Info.plist" "$PLATFORMDIR/Info.plist-original"
plutil -remove MinimumSDKVersion "$PLATFORMDIR/Info.plist"

from xcodelegacy.

Just did the plutil fix with Xcode 10.1 and it works! Thanks.

Now I've got another problem... somehow the ld links seem screwed up. I've got a project trying to link with x86_64 and for some reason the ppc directories in the toolchain are being searched:

What's odd is that Xcode succeeded in making the app (It's in DerivedData) but this area is preventing it from being run "within" the Xcode environment? Any ideas?

fixed by #47

My issue with ld not being found is back. I wish I had a better understanding of the logic by which paths are searched. This isn't an issue of the plist; it looks fine.
