Uml Tool For Mac Xcode

Active3 years, 4 months ago

I am stuck, i am working on some huge project with not enough documentation, i was thinking if there was a way with which i can generate some UML diagram of my Xcode project to understand it better. I searched a lot and everybody seem to be pretty sure that omnigraffle is the way. But when i try to use it i get this silly alert everytime 'This Xcode project can be diagrammed by dragging its containing folder onto the OmniGraffle application icon.'

And other top opensource UML tools for Mac OSX: 1-)BOUML - an UML tool box BOUML is a free UML 2 tool box allowing you to specify and generate code in C++, Java, Idl, Php and Python. Click on this link to Xcode on the Mac App Store, then click on 'View in Mac App Store.' Xcode package, remember that when you update it via the Mac App Store, you might also need to update the Command Line Tools via Xcode's Preferences. If you installed the standalone CLT, I recommend checking for a new version once a month or so. Free UML diagram tool for Objective C. I use Argo UML and Violet UML for modelling on my Mac (Assuming you are using a mac). In Xcode 4.0 and later we can only. DLC Software. Information Technology. Services By Category. Digital Learning Centers (DLC) DLC Locations. McAfee Endpoint Protection for Mac; Microsoft Excel 2016; Microsoft Messenger 2016; Microsoft OneNote 2016. 4-HELP) or help@uml.edu.

Can someone help me out on this. I am using the trial version of omnigraffle. Is there some other tool which can help me out ??

Just download OmniGraffle and then go to File->Open->Select your XcodeProject file and that's it you'll have a class diagram.

If your Project is quite big then you can use github.com/nst/objc_dep to generate the .dot file and then open it with OmniGraffle it worked, but not for CircleGraph type.

  • if you create methods/instance variables via @property's it won't list them

For other alternatives you can see class-modeling-alternatives-for-objective-c

If you try PiyushSharma solution and it not work. I think you should check 'File->Open->Select your Xcode folder' instead ' File->Open->Select your XcodeProject file'. It means: dragging its (.xcodeproj) containing folder onto the OmniGraffle application icon

Best luck for you,

I watched a video with xcode 3, that shows a button 'Design' that displays a UML diagram, but I can't find how to do it with xcode 4.

Try Omnigraffle This has templates for UML diagrams.

If you drop an Xcode4 project file onto its dock icon, it will generate a UML diagram from that.

What it doesn't do is generate code from diagrams.

Search for 'Xcode Design Tools' in Help. That will show you a tutorial that will walk you through creating a diagram.

EDIT >>>

It looks like the instructions are actually for XCode 3 and that UML Modeling was removed from XCode 4. The only modeling I could find in XCode 4 is Data Modeling: File>New>New File... and then look under 'Core Data'.

You might also want to check out Doxygen.

This may help you but I didn't personally tested,

The Xcode class modeling tool helps you to explore and understand the classes in your project, whether they’re written in Objective-C, C++, Java, or a mixture of those languages. It allows you to see class relationships (subclass and superclass relationships—including support for multiple inheritance in C++), protocols (or interfaces in Java), and categories. In the diagram view, color and text coding help you to quickly distinguish between classes, categories, and protocols, and between project and framework code. The visibility (public, private, protected) of member functions and variables is shown appropriately. (If you are not familiar with any of these terms, you should consult suitable programming texts.)

You can use yEd ... not the best solution and does not generate graphs as OmniGraffle can do but at least it can export in SVG and use GraphML files to store the data. (and it is fee)

Visual Paradigm can generate uml from objective c and back (haven't tried it yet, can't tell how well it does the job).

I was looking for a quick fix to the same problem as the OP here, but the solution that helped me most - generate a diagram from my existing XCode project that will show the operations in every class I select - was to use my still existing installation of XCode 3.

Remarks:1. It's not real UML but it's still good to get/keep an overview.2. You can export a diagram to PDF using the print-to-PDF feature available in most Mac OS X applications.3. If you upgraded from XCode 3.2.6 to 4.x by upgrading Snow Leopard to Lion like me, you'll find your XCode 3 installation at /Developer-3.2.6/Applications/Xcode.app.
