This module can read, modify, and write a .pbxproj file from an Xcode 4+ projects. The file is usually called project.pbxproj and can be found inside the .xcodeproj bundle. Because some task cannot be done by clicking on an UI or opening Xcode to do it for you, this python module lets you automate the modification process.

The typical tasks with an Xcode project are adding files to the project and setting some standard compilation flags. It can be achieved with a simple snippet like this:

from pbxproj import XcodeProject
# open the project
project = XcodeProject.load('myapp.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj')
# add a file to it, force=false to not add it if it's already in the project
project.add_file('MyClass.swift', force=False)
# set a Other Linker Flags
project.add_other_ldflags('-ObjC')
# save the project, otherwise your changes won't be picked up by Xcode
project.save()

Did you find a bug? Too bad, but we want to help you, we need you to:

• Check you are running python3 and installed the package using the pip3 command.
• Provide as many details about the error you are having.
• If possible provide a sample project.pbxproj to reproduce the steps
• If possible, try the sequence of steps on Xcode and provide the project.pbxproj generated by Xcode.

We cannot help you if your issue is a title: "it does not work". Or if there is no sequence of steps to reproduce the error. Those kind of issues will be ignored or closed automatically.

Do you want to fix an issue yourself? Great! some house rules:

• Provide a description of what problem you are solving, what case was not being taking into account
• Provide unit tests for the case you have fixed. Pull request without unit test or PRs that decrease the coverage will not be approved until this changes.
• Adhere to the coding style and conventions of the project, for instance, target_name is used to specify the target across all functions that use this parameter. Changes will be requested on PRs that don't follow this.
• Write descriptive commit messages.
