Installing the Android Xcode plugin

For the first step, we need to install the Android Xcode plugin.

Getting started

So, go to the website here and download the plugin first:

https://store.spritebuilder.com/products/spritebuilder-android-plugin-starter

Getting started

In my case, I have already downloaded; however, in your case, the button won't be grayed out.

How to do it…

Once downloaded, we will extract the content. Now, we will right-click on the SBAndroid-community-4f54d0f6.pkg file and click on Open as otherwise OS X won't allow it to be installed.

We will then click on Continue to start the installation process. After this, we will click on Install Software after putting in our system password. After this, the installation process will begin.

How to do it…

We will need to restart Xcode for the plugin to take effect, so we will click on OK.

How to do it…

If all goes well, a window with the message "the installation was successful" should open up.

To make sure the plugin is actually installed, we can open any Xcode project with version 6.1.1. To do this, we will right-click on the Xcode project, select Open With…, and select version 6.1.1.

We can have two or more versions of Xcode installed concurrently on the system. While installing the other version, we will get a popup from OS X as to which version we want to keep or whether we want to keep both versions. We will just select the option indicating that we want both the versions.

How to do it…

Once the project is open, we can check whether the plugin is installed by checking in the schemes in Android; the following Android (armv7a-neon) device should show up.

This should show up even if your device is not connected yet.

How to do it…

Further, when we navigate to Xcode | Preferences, we should have a separate tab for Apportable now.

How to do it…

If this is visible, then we can proceed to the next step.
