history

Project history and usage

LicensePlist is a Swift command-line tool that generates iOS Settings.bundle acknowledgement plist files from app dependencies. Its niche is Apple-platform license disclosure: it turns CocoaPods, Carthage, Swift-package, and manually listed dependency data into files an iOS app can display in Settings.

Project history

The public repository was created on 2017-04-28. The README describes LicensePlist as a command-line tool for generating plists of dependencies, with manual dependency entries supplied by a YAML config file.

The project remained tightly scoped to Apple development workflows. The README documents installation through CocoaPods, Homebrew, Mint, an Xcode Swift Package Manager setup path, release binaries, and source builds.

Adoption history

LicensePlist found adoption among iOS teams that needed a repeatable build-step for open-source acknowledgements. Its Homebrew formula and Run Script Phase example made it fit the daily workflow of Xcode projects.

How it is used

Users run license-plist from an app repository, optionally pointing it at dependency manifests and output paths. The generated com.mono0926.LicensePlist files are copied into Settings.bundle so licenses appear inside the iOS Settings app.

Why package nerds care

LicensePlist is notable because it packages an Apple-specific compliance task as a small CLI instead of a manual Settings.bundle chore. It also shows how package metadata has to cross from dependency managers into platform UI assets.

security posture

No protected-tool coverage found yet

No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for licenseplist. Nucleus package metadata is still published here so future coverage has a stable package URL.

Install behavior

  • No Homebrew post-install hook is recorded in formula metadata.
  • Homebrew bottle metadata is available for 4 platform targets.

Recommended review

Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.
