Stopped working after installing xcode 8 beta

Any chance to fix that? Happened on two computers

I think this needs a reimplementation as an Xcode Source Editor plugin .

[tonyarnold]

Source Editor Extensions do not support the functionality that @kolinkrewinkel has implemented in Polychromatic. They're not really useful for much more than basic text manipulation.

I discussed that with some engineers of the Xcode team on WWDC (specifically regarding Polychromatic) and they mentioned we should file radars requesting the ability to manipulate highlighting or semantic highlighting by default on Xcode. If one of the collaborators can file a radar regarding one of those matters please let us know so we can dupe it. If all the stargazers were to file a radar we'd sure get a lot of visibility.

I filed a radar and put this in "description":

I use/depend on a plugin called Polychromatic (https://github.com/kolinkrewinkel/Polychromatic) that highlights each variable a different color. Since Xcode plugins no longer work, there should be an API that allows a source editor extension to be called whenever the text is changed and allow it to change the color of everything to do custom syntax highlighting, or something.

I've filed rdar://27028207. Feel free to dupe it.

Until we get official support, you could try one of these: MakeXcodeGr8Again / update_xcode_plugins.

Even with the tool above, the plugin activated and Xcode unsigned, the plugin need some work to work as before. The variables tab is behaving very weird.

See that the variable tab is messy. The Sample 1,2,3,4 boxes are all confused and actually set something else than what's expected.

@darktears you need to readjust your saturation & brightness. Look at your old xcode's settings and copy that. I personally use Brightness = 80% && Saturation = 50%.

@SohailKh right I figured it out as well, still the layout is messy for some reason.
