Step 1: Create a scripts Directory

If you don’t already have a dedicated location for scripts, you can create one in your project directory or home directory:

mkdir -p ~/scripts

Step 2: Create the Script File

Inside this scripts directory (or another location of your choice), create a new file for the script:

touch ~/scripts/refresh_xcode.sh

Step 3: Edit the Script

Open the script file in a text editor to add the content:

nano ~/scripts/refresh_xcode.sh

Copy and paste the script content:

#!/bin/bash
echo "Cleaning Xcode build data and resolving package dependencies..."

# Clear DerivedData folder
rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData

# Clear SPM cache
rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/org.swift.swiftpm

# Open Xcode and resolve dependencies
xcrun xcodebuild -resolvePackageDependencies

echo "Done!"

Save and close the editor.

Step 4: Make the Script Executable

Make the script executable so you can run it directly from the command line:

chmod +x ~/scripts/refresh_xcode.sh

Step 5: Run the Script

To execute the script, run:

~/scripts/refresh_xcode.sh

Optional: Add to PATH

To make it easier to run the script from anywhere, add the scripts directory to your PATH by adding this line to your shell profile (e.g., ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc):

export PATH="$PATH:~/scripts"

Now, you can simply run:

refresh_xcode.sh

This setup makes the script easily accessible and keeps it organized in a dedicated location.
