  Project mention: How to manage a huge iOS project written by many teams? | reddit.com/r/SwiftUI | 2022-03-24

  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).
