Enable internal Xcode debug menu in Xcode 11

enable-xcode-debug-menu.sh

defaults write com.apple.dt.Xcode ShowDVTDebugMenu -bool YES
sudo mkdir -p /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/AppleInternal/Library/Xcode
sudo touch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/AppleInternal/Library/Xcode/AppleInternal.plist

# Don't forget to restart Xcode

Enables this internal menu in Xcode:

Not working for me on Xcode 11.3.1...

Any errors when you run the commands?

I believe it's an error with the path. It should be '/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/...'

edit: this worked for me

Darn it, sorry I missed that. Thanks for catching it, @FromDerik.
Fixed the gist.

working now. THANKS!
Just out of curiosity how did you discover this? 😃

Well, I learned about ShowDVTDebugMenu flag from some old blog posts, but it wasn't working anymore. I couldn't resist digging a bit through the Xcode frameworks with Hopper Disassembler.

I found the isAppleInternal flag that Xcode is using to determine whether to show this menu and some other things, and the flag is set to true if the Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/AppleInternal/Library/Xcode/AppleInternal.plist path is present.

🤷‍♂️

Do you have any info about enabling internal menu on simulator? Old method with folder didn't work.

Thanks for sharing this. I just saw a video Paul Hudson yesterday about this AppleInternal.

by the way, the script doesn't work immediately because I have 2 different Xcode suffix with version number
This is what I changed to make it work.

XCODE=`xcode-select -p`
sudo mkdir -p $XCODE/AppleInternal/Library/Xcode
sudo touch $XCODE/AppleInternal/Library/Xcode/AppleInternal.plist

Not working in Xcode 13 (13F100), though "13F100" appears in the Dock icon when I run it.
