Its niche is Apple-platform license disclosure: it turns CocoaPods, Carthage, Swift-package, and manually listed dependency data into files an iOS app can display in Settings. ### Project history The public repository was created on 2017-04-28. The README describes LicensePlist as a command-line tool for generating plists of dependencies, with manual dependency entries supplied by a YAML config file. The project remained tightly scoped to Apple development workflows. The README documents installation through CocoaPods, Homebrew, Mint, an Xcode Swift Package Manager setup path, release binaries, and source builds. ### Adoption history LicensePlist found adoption among iOS teams that needed a repeatable build-step for open-source acknowledgements. Its Homebrew formula and Run Script Phase example made it fit the daily workflow of Xcode projects. ### How it is used Users run license-plist from an app repository, optionally pointing it at dependency manifests and output paths. The generated com.mono0926.LicensePlist files are copied into Settings.bundle so licenses appear inside the iOS Settings app. ### Why package nerds care LicensePlist is notable because it packages an Apple-specific compliance task as a small CLI instead of a manual Settings.bundle chore. It also shows how package metadata has to cross from dependency managers into platform UI assets. ### Timeline - 2017-04-28: GitHub repository created. - 2017: GitHub issue history shows Homebrew installation work around the 1.6.0 release line. - 2020: README badge and project metadata identify Swift 5.3-era development. - 2026: Repository metadata lists Swift, iOS, license-management, Swift Package Manager, and Xcode topics. ### Related projects - Related projects and ecosystems include CocoaPods, Carthage, Swift Package Manager, Mint, Xcode Settings.bundle files, and iOS acknowledgement screens. ### Sources - - - - - ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for licenseplist. Nucleus package metadata is still published here so future coverage has a stable package URL. ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials. Automic Vault can use them as review targets for secret scanning, migration, and command approval. ## Configuration files - Unix: license_plist.yml ## Other Package-Manager Records - Nix - license-plist: installed executable or alias match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/li/license-plist/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
