Custom Xcode 9+ file header template in order to be able to personalize the full username (author) on file creation.

Based on: https://oleb.net/blog/2017/07/xcode-9-text-macros/#text-macros-reference

You can also search "Customize text macros" in Xcode Help section for more official info.

1. Download IDETemplateMacros.plist file (or create a new one, see the link above)

2. Copy the IDETemplateMacros.plist on one of the following locations:

   • Project user data: <ProjectName>.xcodeproj/xcuserdata/[username].xcuserdatad/IDETemplateMacros.plist.
   • Project shared data: <ProjectName>.xcodeproj/xcshareddata/IDETemplateMacros.plist
   • Workspace user data: <WorkspaceName>.xcworkspace/xcuserdata/[username].xcuserdatad/IDETemplateMacros.plist.
   • Workspace shared data: <WorkspaceName>.xcworkspace/xcshareddata/IDETemplateMacros.plist.
   • User Xcode data: ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/IDETemplateMacros.plist.

3. Edit CUSTOMFULLUSERNAME variable

4. Restart Xcode and create a new file with the new header

For this example, the file has been copied to User Xcode data. ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/IDETemplateMacros.plist.

The following template, when CUSTOMFULLUSERNAME = "epeuva"

//  ___FILENAME___
//  ___PRODUCTNAME___
//
//  Created by ___CUSTOMFULLUSERNAME___ on ___DATE___
//  ___COPYRIGHT___
//

generates:

//
//  ViewController.h
//  exampleProject
