I hope I can get used to work without the Polychromatic plugin[1]. Or that the dev somehow can get around the new plugin sandbox in Xcode.

Haven't tested it yet with Xcode 8 but I fear it won't work.

Isn't the sandbox only enabled if System Integrity Protection is enabled? Disable that and the plugins should work, if they are updated for Xcode 8.

[Update] Hmm, seems so. See this: https://github.com/inket/update_xcode_plugins

Try this plugin[1] which will unsign Xcode and allows older plugins to work.

I also encourage you to file a radar [2] to let Apple know you're not pleased about them killing a thriving plugin ecosystem. Yes, I know there's a new plugin API but it's so crippled that 90% of the plugins on Alcatraz couldn't possibly move to it. If enough of us complain maybe they will listen.
