The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Would creating a new Xcode project cause significant merge conflicts?
Worth noting if project file changes would be pretty common in the development flow then maybe using a regen tool would be useful to prevent major conflicts, I’d recommend https://github.com/yonaskolb/XcodeGen

How to manage a huge iOS project written by many teams?
There are a lot of tools and solutions that can help manage a large codebase. For example, a good CI/CD system linked to GitHub or your internal source control system can ensure that all of your unit tests and UI tests run on every PR and block PRs from merging if there are test failures. And if the company chooses not to check in the .xcodeproj or .xcworkspace file, but rather rely on project autogeneration tools like xcodegen, then you can eliminate annoying merge conflicts in PRs that happen when two teams happen to touch files that are near each other in the .pbxproj file (but at the cost of developers always having to run xcodegen when checking out a new branch).

brew install xcodegen
`git clone https://github.com/yonaskolb/XcodeGen.git cd XcodeGen make install`

Do Xcode from command line
Parent comment is right, but check out XcodeGen and get away from the project file. It’s an abomination.
- missing project.pbxproj file, how to restore it?

The project ‘Project-Name’ is damaged and cannot be opened due to a parse error
I don't see anything wrong with your gitignore. If this is causing too many problems, have you considered using a tool that will generate xcodeproj files for you, like XcodeGen?

How to better structure your Xcode projects
Curious why you guys built XCodeJS instead of going with XcodeGen or Tuist

The joys of creating Xcode project files
It's such trash. For my personal projects, XcodeGen is a lifesaver.
How Apple thinks that a single god file is a good idea is crazy to me. No other build tool needs this.

React Native , error when I do a pod install --repo-update
[!] [!] Xcodeproj doesn't know about the following attributes {"productname"=>"wooappTests"} for the 'PBXNativeTarget' isa. If this attribute was generated by Xcode please file an issue: https://github.com/CocoaPods/Xcodeproj/issues/new “““

Introducing Censorius, a fully deterministic and stable UUID generator
Censorius is a small gem that generates deterministic and stable UUID paths for Xcodeproj. It's meant to be used either with CocoaPods or Xcake to reduce meaningless Xcode project file differences, and therefore make Xcode incremental builds after project generation shorter.

The joys of creating Xcode project files
I’ve used the Cocoapods tool Xcodeproj to facilitate really nice Workflows that Xcode didn’t provide for me out of the box. I don’t need this in every project but when I do it’s a really nice API for manipulating the pbxproj files
