About:
LicensePlist is a command-line utility that automatically generates a comprehensive license list from CocoaPods, Carthage, and Swift Package Manager dependencies. It consolidates license texts, source URLs, and author information into a single plist file for easy integration into iOS app settings. This tool simplifies legal compliance by ensuring all third-party licenses are properly documented and accessible to end-users.

Key Features:

Automatic detection of dependencies from CocoaPods, Carthage, and SPM
Generates Settings.bundle compatible plist files
Extracts and includes actual license texts from source files
Supports custom license specifications and exclusions
Xcode build phase integration for automated updates

Use Cases:

Generating legally compliant license screens for iOS applications
Automating license documentation in CI/CD pipelines
Auditing third-party dependencies for license compliance

Alternatives:

license-maven-plugin – Maven-based solution for Java projects, not suitable for iOS development
manual-verification – Time-consuming manual process prone to errors and omissions
