Alcatraz currently supports only OS X 10.9 and Xcode 5. Don't complain, this is mainly because Apple does not have an open plugin mechanism, each upgrade Alcatraz must be adapted. If you look at Alcatraz's Commit Log, you'll find that Alcatraz took months to fit into Xcode 5, which is hard for plug-in developers.

Therefore, as an open source and free plug-ins, only support the latest version of the Xcode can make open source authors save a lot of energy. I also hope that Apple will soon open the Xcode plug-in mechanism standards, convenient for the vast number of plug-in developers to build a powerful third-party enhancement tools. recommended Plug-ins:: "Those who can not miss the Xcode plugin" Introduction to the personal common iOS third party library and the Xcode plugin
