[WakaTime][wakatime] is an open source Xcode plugin for metrics, insights, and time tracking automatically generated from your programming activity.

**Note: Unfortunately, Apple has decided to stop loading plugins in Xcode 14. We currently have no way to get around this and no way to get the WakaTime plugin for Xcode working.**

Note: Xcode8 disables plugins. Installing WakaTime re-signs Xcode.app with a self-signed cert.

Installation

  1. Run this Terminal command:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wakatime/xcode-wakatime/master/install.sh | sh
  1. Restart Xcode.

  2. Enter your [api key](https://wakatime.com/settings#apikey), then click `OK`. (Skip this step if you already have another WakaTime plugin)

  3. Use Xcode and your coding activity will be displayed on your [WakaTime dashboard](https://wakatime.com).

Alternatively, to install WakaTime for Xcode without re-signing (so you can still publish to the App Store), run this instead of step 1:

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.security.libraryvalidation.plist DisableLibraryValidation -bool true
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wakatime/xcode-wakatime/master/install.sh | sh -s nosign

To clone your `Xcode.app` to preserve the original app signature, run this instead of step 1:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wakatime/xcode-wakatime/master/install.sh | sh -s copy
