And in order to create users, add launch daemons, control xcode-select and more, it needs to have root privileges. And the build stage is actually managed by a separate user called _xcsbuildd (more about it in Tutorial 3). Hmm, why is that? Well, the fact is that “Xcode Server” is just an umbrella term for a whole set of users and tools running on your system. Its help page tells us $ /Applications/Xcode-beta5.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcscontrol -help Xcscontrol is exactly what you’d expect based on its name - the tool you use to manage Xcode Server on your machine. Run $ xcode-select -p right now and if your Xcode is at least Xcode 7 Beta 6 ( /Applications/Xcode-beta6.app/.), feel free to just use xcrun xcscontrol for the rest of this article. xcrun uses the Xcode which is selected globally by xcode-select. Which Xcode bundle, you might ask, since many of us run multiple versions of Xcode at the same time (I have 4 right now). xcrun finds a tool in your Xcode bundle and triggers it, so that you don’t need to know where it sits on disk (and also so that Xcode doesn’t have to copy all its tools to /usr/bin, which would make multi-Xcode setup very difficult). You can run this tool directly from the above path, like we will for the rest of this article, but please note that there’s a much easier way to call xcscontrol: and that is with the mighty xcrun super-command. You might remember that you can find one important binary in your Xcode bundle at /Applications/Xcode-beta6.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcscontrol In Under the Hood I’ve talked at length about how Xcode Server is structured internally.

This is what the Xcode Server Hacks series is for! These articles will to be shorter and always focused on just a single issue. However, I also needed a format in which to write these (mostly more advanced) random hacks and debugging tips I’ve collected along the way. Welcome to the first Xcode Server Hack! As you might know, Xcode Server Tutorials are aimed at step by step instructions for Xcode Server users.

Update 27 th Aug, 2015: For easier management of Xcode Server from the command line, I created a tool called xcskarel! New posts are always tweeted by me ( on Twitter. Check out Part 1 first if you haven't already. This article is Part 2 of a whole series called Xcode Server Hacks.
