Summary:
Hello, 

I'm the author of the Xcode Plugin Luft(https://github.com/k0nserv/luft). I was excited to implement Luft using the new Xcode Source Editor Extensions, but unfortunately I found that the current API is a bit lacking. 

Luft currently ships with a preferences window that allows the user to change the settings used by Luft. It would be good if Source Editor Extensions provided a way for Extensions to have a pane/area under Xcode preferences for configuration.

Steps to Reproduce:


Expected Results:
Xcode provides a way for Source Editor Extensions to be configured with extension specific settings under the Xcode preferences or elsewhere.

Actual Results:
Not supported

Version:
8S128d

Notes:


Configuration:
Xcode 8 Beta

Engineering has the following feedback for you:

Since Xcode Source Editor Extensions are App Extensions, they need to be delivered via an application, just as (say) iOS Keyboard App Extensions are. You can use this application to implement preferences for your extension.

We are now closing this bug report.

If you have questions or comments about the resolution, please update your bug report with that information so we can respond.
