  • 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.
