Introduction

Apple restricted the access to Xcode LLM (Predictive code completion) feature on China models of Mac. This guide provides a way to bypass that restriction. It's verified on macOS 15.0 Beta (24A5264n), but there is no guarentee that it will always work on later macOS versions.

Prerequisites

Xcode is installed and run at least once.
SIP debugging restrictions are disabled (via csrutil enable --without debug command in recovery mode).

Disclaimer

Install `jq` on macOS from source

Note: as of jq v1.7 the project offers pre-built native macOS releases for ARM64 based architechtures.

A quick n' dirty Bash script to install the following:

autoconf.
automake.
libtool
jq - from source.

Clone All Gists

This is a shell script version of the Node.js version created by mbostock.

Place it in a directory in your PATH and set the permissions.

chmod u+x clone-all-gists

Using colima and Docker Engine on Apple Silicon (M1 Chip)

This tutorial uses Homebrew to install colima and Docker.

It was tested on Apple MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020) 8G and macOS Monterey version 12.1 (21C52).

Uninstall any Docker version

Make sure you have fully uninstall any versions of Docker. You can check using:

Create SSH Key on Mac for Xcode

The docs for GitHub show a command to create a key with the ed25519 encryption method which is not allowed by Xcode. Even if you are not using the Source Control features in Xcode you will often need to use an account with GitHub when you are consuming Swift packages which are pulled from GitHub.

For SSH keys there are 4 algorithms.

🚨 DSA: This is an older algorithm which is no longer supported and is superceded with more modern algorithms.
⚠️ RSA: This algorithm was an improvement but it is now outdated and a more modern method should be used.
👀 ECDSA: Another improvement which is dependent on your computer's ability to generate random numbers.
✅ Ed25519: The most recommended public-key algorithm today which you should use with GitHub.

Oh my zsh.

Install ZSH.

sudo apt install zsh-autosuggestions zsh-syntax-highlighting zsh
