Scaling iOS DevX with Tuist
summary
Claims concrete wins: Tuist plus modularization and automated focused workspaces create per-feature preview apps and XCFrameworks so downstream code stays prebuilt. Measured clean build baseline ~200s falls to ~163s (≈23%) with binary caching; a single feature clean build hits ~58s and drops to ~17s with cache. Tooling includes Tuist project generation, XCFramework binary caching, SPM for deps, and runtime hot-reload via inject; Xcode previews remain intermittently flaky but overall feedback loops and autocomplete noticeably improve.
