Configuring Plugin Projects Targeting AppCode
When targeting 2020.3, please see this migration guide.
{type="warning"}
The Gradle configuration of AppCode plugin projects uses neither Product-Specific nor IntelliJ IDEA Attributes.
Instead, configure AppCode plugin projects to use the intellij.localPath attribute.
AppCode plugin development requires installing AppCode locally.
{type="note"}
The table below summarizes the gradle-intellij-plugin attributes to set in the plugin project's build.gradle file.
Click on an entry in the table's Attribute column to go to the documentation about that attribute.
gradle-intellij-plugin Attribute |
Attribute Value |
|---|---|
intellij.localPath |
Path to locally installed target version of AppCode. For example, for macOS: /Users/$USERNAME$/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/Toolbox/apps/AppCode/ch-0/193.5662.55/AppCode.app/Contents. |
runIde.ideDir |
Path to locally installed target version of AppCode. For example, for macOS: /Users/$USERNAME$/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/Toolbox/apps/AppCode/ch-0/193.5662.55/AppCode.app/Contents. |
The dependency on the AppCode APIs must be declared in the plugin.xml file.
As described in Modules Specific to Functionality table, the <depends> tags must declare com.intellij.modules.appcode.
Available AppCode APIs
See AppCode Extension Point List for complete list.
{type="note"}
Use the Exploring APIs as a Consumer process to identify the libraries in AppCode. Test your plugin with any version of AppCode you wish to support.
