Description

I installed SwiftFormat and SwiftFormat For Xcode and followed the instructions. But no matter what I do Xcode never shows it in the Edit menu. The extension is clearly checked in Preferences. I even ran the whole thing multiple times, but Xcode never changes. Is this some limitation in 12.X or Big Sur?
