Mobile PaaS (mPaaS) provides the following developer tools to help developers quickly integrate mPaaS and assist in development.
mPaaS Xcode Extension: It is an official plug-in built based on XcodeKit. You can use mPaaS Xcode Extension to add additional commands to the Editor menu of Xcode. mPaaS Xcode Extension can be installed easily without removing the Xcode signature. You can integrate mPaaS more efficiently by using the new graphical user interface (GUI). mPaaS Xcode Extension allows you to create new mPaaS projects, edit projects, and provide basic tools such as project packaging tools. You can use mPaaS Xcode Extension to import cloud configuration files, add and delete mPaaS components, upgrade mPaaS baselines, and generate Security Guard images.
mPaaS plug-in: It is a plug-in with a GUI. The mPaaS plug-in helps you create mPaaS projects, add or delete mPaaS component dependencies, and package projects. The mPaaS plug-in must work with the command line. Therefore, the command line tool is installed when the mPaaS plug-in is installed.
NoteNote that you cannot install mPaaS Xcode Extension and mPaaS plug-in at the same time due to functional conflicts.
The command line tools are a set of mPaaS-related terminal command sets, and they are installed together with the mPaaS plug-in. You can use the command line tools to view the SDK version, add or delete mPaaS component dependencies, and remove or restore Xcode signatures by running commands on the terminal.
Since September 1, 2020, mPaaS has stopped maintaining the Xcode plug-in of mPaaS. Therefore, we recommend that you use the Xcode Extension plug-in of mPaaS instead.
