Terminal window inside Xcode?

Unfortunately there is no such a thing in Xcode. We have to fall back to external Terminal window.

If you really want to do it, you can add a build phase and run script that opens the Terminal - but that might not be what you are looking for.

1. Create executable shell script with the following contents and save it anywhere

   #!/bin/bash
   open -a Terminal "`pwd`"
   

   • Add execute permissions to your script: $ chmod +x <YourShellScript>
2. In the Xcode menu bar, Go to Xcode -> Preferences -> Behaviors.
3. Add a Custom behavior
4. Name it "Open Terminal", or whatever.
5. (Optional) Configure a hotkey for the behavior by tapping on the ⌘
6. (Optional) Input hotkey combination
7. Checkmark Run, select you script from step 1.
8. Use it within Xcode.
