Notes on xcode workspace
Gotchas
- To add an existing xCode projects to a workspace, drag the
.xcodeprojfile into the workspace - To add a new xCode project, select the workspace in the project creation session
- local packages can be dragged in to xCode targets, drag the entire package folder (⚠️️ Remember to add the frameworks under the general pan as well or you will get a module not found warning etc ⚠️️)
- iOS and MacOS xCode projects can live on their own outside a workspace
- Using a workspace is a great way to debug iOS and MacOS apps at the same time. something that otherwise can be impossible if they relay on the same package etc
- It is still posible to load projects from the normal xcode project scope even if you use a workspace
Testing and extensions
- Unit and UITests can be placed in a workspace
- App extensions can also be placed in a workspace
