Changing the default header comment license in Xcode Ask Question

Whenever I create a new .cpp/.h file in Xcode a comment is added to the top of the file. For example:

/*
 *  <file>.cpp
 *  <Name of project>
 *
 *  Created by <My name> on <Date>.
 *  Copyright <Year and company>. All rights reserved.
 *
 */

I want to change the default comment to be another license, like GPL/LGPL/ or something else. Is there somewhere I can change this behavior in Xcode?

Beginning with Xcode 9, do the following:

  1. Create a property list file named IDETemplateMacros.plist.

  2. Add a FILEHEADER value to the root and set its string value to your copyright text (e.g. Copyright © 2017 ...).

  3. Save the file to one of the following locations:

    • For a single user in a single project <ProjectName>.xcodeproj/xcuserdata/[username].xcuserdatad/IDETemplateMacros.plist

    • For all team members in a single project <ProjectName>.xcodeproj/xcshareddata/IDETemplateMacros.plist

    • For a single user in all projects in a workspace <WorkspaceName>.xcworkspace/xcuserdata/[username].xcuserdatad/IDETemplateMacros.plist

    • For all users in all projects in a workspace <WorkspaceName>.xcworkspace/xcshareddata/IDETemplateMacros.plist

    • For everything you work on ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/IDETemplateMacros.plist

If you now create a new file in Xcode, you should see the new copyright header.

Here's a sample IDETemplateMacros.plist for copying and pasting:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>FILEHEADER</key>
    <string>
//  Created by Your Name on 29.12.17.
//  Copyright © 2017 Your Company. All rights reserved.
//  </string>
</dict>
</plist>

Note that the closing </string> tag should be on the last line to avoid an additional newline.
