Your Alcatraz and Xcode plugins disappeared each time you upgrade your Xcode huh?

Here's a snippet I used to reactivate my plugins.

find ~/Library/Application\ Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/Plug-ins -name Info.plist -maxdepth 3 | xargs -I{} defaults write {} DVTPlugInCompatibilityUUIDs -array-add `defaults read /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Info DVTPlugInCompatibilityUUID`  

For those who accidentally click Skip Bundle, here's another snippet for you, sadly.

defaults delete com.apple.dt.Xcode DVTPlugInManagerNonApplePlugIns-Xcode-{your_xcode_version}
