xcderiveddata

A command-line utility that prints the path of the derived data directory for the current Xcode project.

Requirements

• Xcode

Command-Line Usage

The xcderiveddata executable can be run from the command line from any directory with an Xcode project:

$ find . -name "*.xcodeproj" -maxdepth 1
MyApp.xcodeproj

$ xcderiveddata
~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyApp-abcdefghijklmnopqr1234567890

Any additional arguments are passed to xcodebuild, which can be used to set the target, scheme, and any other other options for the specified project or workspace:

$ find . -name "*.xc*" -maxdepth 1
MyApp.xcodeproj
MyFramework.xcodeproj
MyWorkspace.xcworkspace

$ xcderiveddata -workspace MyWorkspace.xcworkspace \
                -scheme MyFramework
~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyFramework-abcdefghijklmnopqr1234567890

You can pipe the result of xcderiveddata into other commands to automate your build process. For example, here's how to locate any xcresult bundles generated by your test target:

$ xcderiveddata | xargs -I{} find {} -name '*.xcresult'
