We Don’t Talk About Xcode
summary
A clear mental model maps Xcode to four concrete steps: source files, configuration, build, evaluate, and shows where settings live on disk. Demonstrations include using Build Setting Extractor, Swift packages as target dependencies, and build plugins; schemes live as XML under XCUserData/XCSharedData, project layout and settings live in project.pbxproj, and per‑user tweaks or XC config files avoid repo noise. The model pinpoints which UI control or file to edit to change behavior.
