Xcode

The first thing you'll probably notice about Vapor and Swift Package Manager projects in general is that they don't include an Xcode project. In fact, when SPM generates packages, the .xcodeproj file is .gitignored by default.

This means we don't have to worry about .pbxproj conflicts, and it's easy for different platforms to utilize their own editors.

Generate Project

Vapor Toolbox

To generate a new Xcode project for a project, use:

vapor xcode

!!! tip If you'd like to automatically open the Xcode project, use vapor xcode -y

Manual

To generate a new Xcode project manually.

swift package generate-xcodeproj

Open the project and continue normally.

Flags

For some packages with underlying C dependencies, users will need to pass linker flags during build and project generation. Make sure to consult the guides associated with those dependencies. For example, MySQL:

swift package generate-xcodeproj -Xswiftc -I/usr/local/include/mysql -Xlinker -L/usr/local/lib

!!! tip The Vapor Toolbox automatically detects and adds linker flags required for Vapor packages.
