(Xcode 11.2)

• In the New Build System, any custom build steps will run before the New Build System's Process .../Info.plist step:

• To run a shell script after Xcode finishes building, you can add it to your scheme(s) as a build post-action:

Product > Scheme > Edit Scheme... > Build > Post-actions

• If you're going to reference any build system environment variables (e.g. BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR or INFOPLIST_PATH), make sure you change the Provide build settings from selection.

• Add your shell script, but remember that if you edit any file in the app bundle (i.e. Info.plist), you'll need to re-sign the app. Add this to your post build step:

export CODESIGN_ALLOCATE=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/codesign_allocate
/usr/bin/codesign --force --sign - --entitlements "${TARGET_TEMP_DIR}/${FULL_PRODUCT_NAME}.xcent" --timestamp=none "${CODESIGNING_FOLDER_PATH}"
