Issue #784 Every time I switch git branches, SPM packages seem to be invalidated and Xcode does not fetch again, no matter how many times I reopen. Running xcodebuild -resolvePackageDependencies does fetch but Xcode does not recognize the resolved packages and still reports missing packages. The good thing is under menu File -> Swift Packages there are options to reset and resolve packages
Issue #698 Xcode has powerful search. We can constrain search to be scoped in workspace, project or some folders. We can also constrain case sensitivity. Another cool thing that people tend to overlook is, besides searching based on text, we can search based on references, definitions, call hierarchy, and 🎉 regular expressions. Searching for regular expression gives us extra power when it comes to limit our search based on some criteria....

Issue #572 After migrating a few pods to use SPM, some libraries fail to load. This is because the workspace now uses both SPM and cocoapods code signature in … not valid for use in process using Library Validation: mapped file has no Team ID and is not a platform binary (signed with custom identity or adhoc?) The workaround is to disable Library validation

Issue #499 Build setting Build Library For Distribution Binary Frameworks in Swift It turns on all the features that are necessary to build your library in such a way that it can be distributed What does this error actually mean? Well, when the Swift compiler goes to import a module, it looks for a file called the Compiled Module for that library. If it finds one of these files, it reads off the manifest of public APIs that you can call into, and lets you use them....

Issue #267 Original post https://medium.freecodecamp.org/how-to-convert-your-xcode-plugins-to-xcode-extensions-ac90f32ae0e3 Xcode is an indispensable IDE for iOS and macOS developers. From the early days, the ability to build and install custom plugins had given us a huge boost in productivity. It was not long before Apple introduced Xcode extension due to privacy concerns. I have built a few Xcode plugins and extensions like XcodeWay, XcodeColorSense, XcodeColorSense2, and Xmas. It was a rewarding experience. I learned a lot, and the productivity I gained was considerable....
