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. ### Timeline - 2017-04-28: GitHub repository created. - 2017: GitHub issue history shows Homebrew installation work around the 1.6.0 release line. - 2020: README badge and project metadata identify Swift 5.3-era development. - 2026: Repository metadata lists Swift, iOS, license-management, Swift Package Manager, and Xcode topics. ### Related projects - Related projects and ecosystems include CocoaPods, Carthage, Swift Package Manager, Mint, Xcode Settings.bundle files, and iOS acknowledgement screens. ### Sources - - - - - ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for licenseplist.
