Feature toggles with BuildConfiguration and type-safe definitions
summary
Describes using multiple Build Configurations and Swift type definitions to manage feature differences when building several iOS apps from a shared codebase (e.g., seller vs. buyer apps for a C2C service). Explains the problems with scattering #if macros—reduced readability and accidental exposure of features—and proposes leveraging type definitions to enforce feature boundaries and reduce conditional compilation sites.
