# Verified on a Mac with Xcode installed. ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData is

# where the IDE keeps the per-user editing settings, and two directories in it

# are the user's own work:

# KeyBindings/Default.idekeybindings — the key binding set the Key Bindings

# preference pane writes, an XML property list

# FontAndColorThemes/<name>.xccolortheme — the editor themes the Themes pane

# writes, also XML property lists

# ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dt.Xcode.plist beside them is Xcode's

# NSUserDefaults domain — the rest of the preference window — and it is a

# preference domain on this machine's `defaults domains` listing.

paths = [

"~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/KeyBindings/",

"~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/FontAndColorThemes/",

# The rest of UserData on the same machine is account and device state, not

# settings: Capabilities/ and Portal/ are cached responses from the developer

# portal keyed by team id, XcodeCloud/ is a Core Data store, Previews/ and

# IB Support/ hold simulator device state, and the loose *.xcuserstate files

# are window state. None of it is inside a directory named above, so there is

# nothing to carve out — it is simply not listed.

# ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/Provisioning Profiles/ holds the signing

# profiles Xcode downloads for the signed-in team. They are not listed above

# either, and they are not marked secret because a profile is a device list

# and a certificate rather than a key — the private half lives in the login

# keychain, which is not a file this catalog reaches.

secret = []

# No machine_lines. Every file named above is a property list, and this

# schema's `format` covers toml, yaml and json only, so a per-key carve-out

# could not be written even where one was wanted — and the derived data path

# and simulator state that would want one are in the preference domain rather

# than in the themes and bindings.
