Installation

Swift Package Manager

Add the dependency in your Package.swift file:

swift
let package = Package( name: "myproject", dependencies: [ .package(url: "https://github.com/tuist/XcodeProj.git", .upToNextMajor(from: "8.12.0")), ], targets: [ .target( name: "myproject", dependencies: ["XcodeProj"]), ] )

Scripting

Using swift-sh you can automate project-tasks using scripts, for example we
can make a script that keeps a project’s version key in sync with the current
git tag that represents the project’s version:

swift
#!/usr/bin/swift sh import Foundation import XcodeProj // @tuist ~> 8.8.0 import PathKit guard CommandLine.arguments.count == 3 else { let arg0 = Path(CommandLine.arguments[0]).lastComponent fputs("usage: \(arg0) <project> <new-version>\n", stderr) exit(1) } let projectPath = Path(CommandLine.arguments[1]) let newVersion = CommandLine.arguments[2] let xcodeproj = try XcodeProj(path: projectPath) let key = "CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION" for conf in xcodeproj.pbxproj.buildConfigurations where conf.buildSettings[key] != nil { conf.buildSettings[key] = newVersion } try xcodeproj.write(path: projectPath)

You could then store this in your repository, for example at
scripts/set-project-version and then run it:

bash
$ scripts/set-project-version ./App.xcodeproj 1.2.3 $ git add App.xcodeproj $ git commit -m "Bump version" $ git tag 1.2.3

Future adaption could easily include determining the version and bumping it
automatically. If so, we recommend using a library that provides a Version
object.
