This repository serves as a starting-point/template that I use whenever I start a new app. Of course this is opionated because it is setup the way I like working with Xcode/Swift projects, so let me provide some reasoning for some of the stuff in here:
I don't know Objective-C and Swift is the language I have been using and learning for years so the template is geared towards Swift and more specifically SPM.
There is a regular .xcodeproj file in there of course but to avoid merge conflicts, and even more importantly, help modularisation, I usually put all my business logic and UI into an SPM package which is then references as a local dependency in the project file.
Generally, I avoid adding stuff to the project file as much as possible (again, to avoid merge conflicts)
Note: There is a branch named tuist with the same setup, but using tuist to generate the project files which is kind of a middle ground
There's a bootstrapped fastlane folder in there with the basic setup for match and uploading to App Store Connect
I also included a .swiftformat file that I like to use, with the options enabled/disabled that I prefer
- Create a new repository from this template
- clone your newly created repo
- run
cd folder/of/your/repo - open the folder in Visual Studio Code or similar
- search for
MyAppand rename everything accordingly - rename all the folders as well
- update the bundle identifier in
Configuration/Common.xcconfig - change all the metadata in the
fastlanefolder (or get rid of it) - you're done!
