Motivation:

Xcode provides paths to executables as strings referencing environment variables and then passes those strings to the build plugin as URLs. This meant that when we converted these URLs to strings they percent-encoded some characters and were no longer valid paths e.g.

/${BUILD_DIR}/${CONFIGURATION}/protoc-gen-swift

became

/$%7BBUILD_DIR%7D/$%7BCONFIGURATION%7D/protoc-gen-swift

Modifications:

Have our utility function for accessing absolute paths as strings strip percent-encoding.

Result:

The build plugin works in Xcode
