xcode-clean.sh's Issues

Clean DocumentationCache

Hello,

Thank you for your script. It is very helpful.
On my Mac I have found the folder (see the title), but I do not know whether it is safe to delete it or not. I can extend your script and add this folder, but before doing this, can you please tell me whether it is safe to delete it :) If yes, I will create the PR.

p.s. I am simply afraid of deleting it blindly.

Thanks,
Vest

Backup dSYM files

Optionally make backups of all dSYM files before removing DerivedData content

Abort remove if backup fails

Abort archive remove if there's any error when backing up dSYM files

Dry run mode

Would be nice to have a dry run mode listing all files that would be deleted

The operation couldn’t be completed. (DVTCoreSimulatorAdditionsErrorDomain error 0.)

After run

./xcode-clean.sh -A

I got this error when I run my Xcode project in Xcode 10.

The operation couldn’t be completed. (DVTCoreSimulatorAdditionsErrorDomain error 0.)

Run this command will resolve this issue.

xcrun simctl erase all
