  • How to manage a huge iOS project written by many teams?
    2 projects | /r/SwiftUI | 24 Mar 2022
    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).

    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.
