In order to use this infrastructure from Mac OS X, follow these instructions:
1. Install [Xcode from Apple](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xcode/id497799835?mt=12&uo=4). Xcode is generally the most popular app in the Mac App Store in the "Developer Tools" category. Xcode is free and you do not need to be a registered Apple developer to download and use it, especially if you are building Apple II programs. I am generally running the latest version of Xcode so if you are trying to use these templates with an old version, you may run into problems.
2. Install the [Apple II project templates](https://github.com/jeremysrand/Apple2BuildPipeline/releases/download/2.6/AppleXcodeTemplate.pkg).
2. Install the [Apple II project templates](https://github.com/jeremysrand/Apple2BuildPipeline/releases/download/2.7/AppleXcodeTemplate.pkg).
3. Install and setup [Virtual II](http://www.virtualii.com).
4. If you plan to use cc65 based projects, install the [cc65 v2.17 package](https://github.com/jeremysrand/Apple2BuildPipeline/releases/download/2.6/cc65-2.17.pkg) or the older [cc65 v2.13.3 package](https://github.com/jeremysrand/Apple2BuildPipeline/releases/download/1.0/cc65.2.13.3.pkg). Both versions should work with the latest project templates but all of my testing from now on will be with the newer version. I haven't tested without cc65 installed but in theory, if you only plan to use Applesoft or Merlin32 based projects, you don't need to install cc65.

5. If you plan to use Merlin32 based projects, install the [Merlin32 binaries and libraries](https://www.brutaldeluxe.fr/products/crossdevtools/merlin/). By default, the build system assumes you have installed the Merlin32 binary in /usr/local/bin and put the library macro files in /usr/local/lib/Merlin. If you installed them somewhere else, you can override these location in your projects.
Note that on your first launch of Xcode after installing the project templates, you may be asked if it is OK to load a cc65 plug-in bundle. You should allow this to load. If you do not do this, syntax highlighting and code completion will not work in assembly or Applesoft files.

----------------
There are some known issues which can crop up:
* If you are using Xcode 10, you may have problems with its new build system. Common problems are errors not propagating from the build back to the appropriate line of code and issues trying to clean your build. For now, I recomment everyone using Xcode 10 select File->Project Settings... and under "Shared Project Settings", set the "Build System" to "Legacy Build System". I will try to figure out what the problems are with the new build system so this isn't required in the future. If you have any information about what the issue may be, please contact me.
* If you aren't seeing the "ca65 Assembly" option under Editor->Syntax Coloring, you may be having an Xcode compatibility problem. These syntax colouring files are provided as part of an Xcode plugin and plugins must advertize their compatibility. During install, the plugin is set to be compatible with the version of Xcode you have. If you upgrade Xcode, the plugin will be assumed to be incompatible and will not be loaded. To workaround this, we force the plugin to be marked as compatible on every build of a Apple II target. So, you should do a build and then quit and re-launch Xcode. You should see a warning asking if you want to load the plugin and if you allow the plugin to load, you should see the ca65 syntax colouring option.
* If you see permissions problems when you do a build, chances are good that the permissions on the Xcode plugin directory is wrong. The best way to fix this is to run "sudo chmod -R a+rwx ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/Plug-ins". You will need to provide a password when you run this command. I am unsure why some people seem to have bad permissions on this directory and I cannot reproduce the problem, even with a clean install of MacOS. If you have any information on why this is happening, please let me know. Thanks.
If these suggestions do not help or you are having some other problem, please contact me and I will try to help you out.
