A short preface:
Apple wants me to use XCode directly on a Xamarin cross-platform iOS project to build, deploy and debug it. Using VS I can build, deploy and debug the project, but if I load the project directly on the build MAC using XCode and try to run the project I am encountering a number of errors, the first being the Info.plist not being present and then the Entitlements.plist. If you prefer the terminal, using Xcode is the fastest and easiest way to start working with Git. Its command-line tools include Git in the package. Users who don't have Xcode can install it with a single command: xcode-select -install. With Xcode running on your Mac, you can check whether Git is also available by prompting for the Git version. This article will tell you how to use Xcode to create a swift project, then you can develop iOS app in it. But before start, you should install Xcode in your mac os.

I would like to write an Xcode Source Editor Extension (new in Xcode 8) that, when triggered, launches a companion Mac application I am writing, and passes the Mac application the lines of the source file the user was viewing when they triggered the extension.
The helper Mac application would then provide the user with an interface for performing it's editing features. When the user is done with their changes, they press some sort of a 'Save' or 'Commit' button, and the changes are then propogated back to the Xcode extension, and then back to the original source file itself.
What I have so far:
I have created a bare-bones Mac application for my helper mac app. All it does currently is, in it's applicationDidFinishLaunching(.) implementation in it's Application Delegate, attempts to build a string of the passed in launch arguments, and display that string as the message body of an alert. See below (note I've tried using both ProcessInfo.processInfo.arguments as well as CommandLine.arguments) :
I have created a fairly boiler-plate Xcode extension that, when invoked via the perform(with .) function, launches my companion Mac helper app. I have tried launching the helper app several ways, including:
Using NSWorkSpace's launchApplication(at: options: configuration:) :
Using a custom Process instance to run a bash command, trying both 'open' and 'fork':
The Problem
I have archived / exported the helper Mac app and put it in the Applications folder. When I build and run the Xcode extension and test it out, the helper Mac app successfuly launches, but it never gets the custom launch arguments in applicationDidFinishLaunching(.).
I have read in several places, including the documentation for the constant keys for NSWorkSpace's configuration options here: https://developer.apple.com/reference/appkit/nsworkspacelaunchconfigurationarguments that 'This constant is not available to sandboxed apps.'
When I run the same bash from Terminal:
open -b com.something.TestMacApp --args --foo='bar'
The helper app successfuly reads in the passed --args and displays them in the alert.My fear is this simply isn't possible due to App Sandboxing, but I'm hoping there is another solution that I'm missing. Some other alternative approaches that would also work if they're possible:
1. Instead of a helper Mac application, if it is possible to make the Xcode extension itself have an interface, then that would solve the problem right there. However I don't believe this is possible.
2. I could also perhaps launch the helper Mac app, and then communicate with it after it is launched, although again I think perhaps the sandboxing issue may come into play.
For what its worth, I am primarily an iOS developer.
Apple Xcode For Mac
Thanks for any help,

All the steps for newbies.
The Machine
'Computer'
To run Xcode for programming, you need an Apple computer.
System Requierment: Intel Processor.
Chrome 42 download mac. You can use an iMac, Mac Pro, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro or Mac mini.
You can not use Xcode on an iOS device like an iPhone or iPad.
Programming is not CPU consuming. Compile Time is a litle bit more.
For starters … it's not nesserary to have a New Super Power Mac
'OS – Operating System'
Always use the latest version of OS X and Xcode.
Download Xcode in your Mac from the 'App Store' for Free.
The Developer Acount
Imusic 2 2 0 2. 'Apple Developer Programs'
You don't need an acount to try Xcode … it's Free.
The need to have to pay for a Developer Acount is needed, if you want to sell your app (like 0.99 cents).
The ratio of earning is 70% for you and 30% for Apple.
But …
The Apple's Developer Programs give you access to more like all the video from the Keynote.

Note: Pluralsight is new for me. It's in the list because I want to follow Simon Allardice. He've made a lot of Lynda.com tutorial for programming and when Lynda.com was sold to Linkedin and the to Microsoft, he made a switch to Pluralsight.
He's in my mind the reference in teaching for programming in general. Really Talented Person.
