Support multiple versions of MacOS and Xcode

[greensky01]

Update:

I have noticed xcbueatify cannot properly handle output from Xcode 11.2.1. So it may be a good idea to support different format of Xcode.

Could xcbeautify support different versions of OS and Xcode? If not yet, could these be implemented as new command line options?

Thanks!

What is preventing it from supporting different versions of OS and Xcode? I suppose it runs on multiple OSes and can be built with different versions of Xcode.

Hi @thii, I find it cannot give us as "beautiful" output on Xcode 11 as it can on Xcode 10. Do you have plan to work out a patch on this?

[thii]

Could you give me a reproducible example?

[greensky01]

It's fairly easy to reproduce.

1. Create a Cocoa application in Xcode (either 10 or 11 will do, and I name the project as FirstStep)
2. Navigate to the project folder, and do the following:
   /path/to/Xcode10_2_1.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcodebuild | xcbeautify
   You would see output similar to the following:

[FirstStep] Compiling AppDelegate.m
[FirstStep] Compiling main.m
[FirstStep] Linking FirstStep
[FirstStep] Compiling MainMenu.xib
[FirstStep] Processing Info.plist
[FirstStep] Generating FirstStep.app.dSYM
Signing FirstStep.app (in target: FirstStep)
[FirstStep] Touching FirstStep.app
Build Succeeded

3. Clean and build with Xcode 11:
   /path/to/Xcode11_2_1.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcodebuild | xcbeautify
   You would see:

Processing Info.plist
Signing FirstStep.app (in target 'FirstStep' from project 'FirstStep')
Build Succeeded

We lost many outputs.

@greensky01 Could you try the version built from the xcode11-outputs branch to see if it works for you?

@thii I've tried your code and can confirm the issue's been fixed. Thanks!

[thii]

Thanks. I merged it.

I've released version 0.7.0 that includes the fixes.
