Apple has reached out to plug-in developers and implemented a compatibility UUID system for plugins. What exactly are you worried might happen?



No, Apple gave up and implemented a compatibility UUID system to try and reduce crashes (since any Xcode crash is going to be reported to Apple and Xcode engineers have to figure out what happened, which means Xcode engineers get bug reports triggered by unsupported third-party plugins).

The existence of the compatibility UUID does not mean that Apple has blessed plugins. They're just trying to reduce their support load, and reduce their users' crashes at the same time.
