Every once in a while, Apple upgrades Xcode and "breaks" XcodeColors. Fear not! This is an easy fix.

Here's why it breaks:

XcodeColors is a plugin for Xcode. And plugins have to specify which versions of Xcode they support. This is done by having the plugin specify the supported versions in its Info.plist file. But it's not as easy as specifying version numbers. (That would be too easy, right?) So instead, each major version of Xcode is assigned a UUID. And plugins have to reference the UUID in their "list of supported versions".

Here's what it looks like:

The screenshot above includes support for Xcode 4 & 5.0.X.

But it does NOT include support for Xcode 5.1 Beta 5! Gasp! Let's fix it.

Just open your Finder, and navigate to the shiny new version of Xcode. Then right-click, and select "Show Package Contents"
