apple/xcode-project-format

xcode-project-format is a Swift library for reading, writing, and manipulating Xcode's JSON-based project.xcproj format. It models the format as a rich set of value types nested under a single namespace, XCSchema, so consumers get precise, typed access to a project's struct

Getting started

Requirements

  • Swift 6.1 or later
  • macOS 14 or later (the library also builds on non-Darwin platforms; see Package.swift)

Installation

Add the package as a dependency in your Package.swift:

dependencies: [
    .package(url: "https://github.com/apple/xcode-project-format/", from: "0.1.0")
]

Usage

import XcodeProjectFormat

func listTargets(in projectURL: URL) throws {
    let projectData = try Data(contentsOf: projectURL)
    let project = try XCSchema.Project(jsonRepresentation: projectData)
    for target in project.targets {
        print(target.name)
    }
}

You'll find types for folders, file references, groups, targets, build phases, build rules, and the rest of the Xcode project model within this package.
