AckAck

AckAck is a python script that automatically generates a plist based on the licenses in your Carthage or CocoaPods folder. When you use the plists in your app, the licenses will show up in the Settings app.

Installation

Simply download the ackack.py script and store it in your project root or in a subfolder (e.g. Scripts).

$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Building42/AckAck/master/ackack.py
$ chmod +x ackack.py

Usage

1. Make sure that you have a Settings.bundle in your project (otherwise create one with Xcode)
2. Make sure that you ran Carthage or CocoaPods (you should have a Carthage/Checkouts or Pods folder)
3. Run the script: ./ackack.py
4. The script will automatically try to find the input and output folders
5. After the script is done, you will have a Acknowledgements.plist and a plist for every license found

Settings.bundle
├── Root.plist
├── Acknowledgements.plist
├── Acknowledgements
│   ├── Charts.plist
│   ├── HTTPParserC.plist
│   ├── Telegraph.plist
