    For Xcode-based projects https://github.com/SolaWing/xcode-build-server is a minimal but effective Build Server Protocol implementation. I have been using it for the past few weeks with Eglot and it is working beautifully. Much better than the gnarly fake Package.swift method I have used in the past. /cc u/konrad1977

    Great!By the way,you can also use sourcekit-lsp and xcode-build-server to program in neovim directly。though still need to debug in xcode。
