：Install mPaaS plug-in

End of life announcement of mPaaS plug-in

Apple security updates introduce an extensive mechanism for verifying application signatures in macOS 10.15.1 and later versions. Due to this mechanism, the removal of signing certificates may result in unavailability of Xcode and even a response failure of the system.When Xcode 11.3.1 or later is used in macOS 10.15.3 or later, if you install the mPaaS plug-in with the signing certificate removed, the response failure probability is high. This issue is resolved when Xcode signing certificates are restored.Therefore, we will no longer update the iOS mPaaS plug-in with the signing certificate removed. In addition, related maintenance service has been unavailable since September 2020.

Prerequisites

• You have installed and opened Xcode and also completed the installation of basic tools according to the Xcode installation wizard.

• You have used Ruby 2.3.0 or a later version.
