why do i keep on bumping into you on SO? :)
@abbood probably because i spend too much time here :)
actually i came across this question there is this library i'm using mailcore2 that always executes this shell script everytime i build it.. I wanna shut it off.. I'll let you know if I get stuck though :p
An alternative to using a Run Script is to edit the Scheme and under "Run" > "Info" select /usr/bin/sh as the executable and under "Run" > "Arguments" select the script in "Arguments Passed On Launch" that you wish to run. This way you'll get the output in Xcode's console. In my project, I do this to run a Ruby script using /usr/bin/ruby as the executable and $(PROJECT_DIR)/myscript.rb as the argument.
I'm currently facing the same problem right now, difference is, there is no Aggregate option on Target in xcode 9.4.1. Can you please help me? Thanks
