Added Run Script phase to Xcode, but nothing happens

I added a Run Script build phase to my Xcode project, the script is just 

echo "Hello"

I'm not seing hello in the debug console or anything, so I guess my script is not being executed when I build.

Build Phases

Any ideas ?

( Edit: The navigator just shows )

Xcode: View > Navigators > Reports

The Report Navigator is the "chat bubble" in the Xcode sidebar.

Report Navigator in Xcode

Select your most recent Build from the sidebar on the left.

Then click All Messages in the tab bar to see the output of your Run Script Build Phase.

View Run Script Build Phase output in Xcode 6

Xcode Version changes:

  • Xcode 12: View > Navigators > Reports

  • Xcode 6: View > Navigators > Show Report Navigator

  • Xcode 5: View > Navigators > Show Log Navigator

  • Xcode 4: View > Navigators > View Log Navigator

You will see the output in the build log.

After build is finished:

  • Go to "View -> Navigators -> Show Report Navigator" from menu,
  • Or press cmd+9 shortcut (cmd+8 in older ExCode),
  • Then check the latest log.

The quickest way that I found is by using the below echo command in my Run Script with "warning:" in it. Xcode threw a warining. Hence confirmed your script is getting executed 

echo "warning: RUN SCRIPT in ACTION"

you also can try echo "error: RUN SCRIPT in ACTION"

In Xcode 6: View -> Navigators -> Show Report Navigator

On the left column, Under the By Group tab, select the latest Build for whatever target you just built.

In the middle column, select the All Messages tab, the output of your build script should be somewhere in there.
