  • Introducing Censorius, a fully deterministic and stable UUID generator
    4 projects | /r/iOSProgramming | 18 Jul 2021
    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.

    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
