Description

Most projects don't embed the same app extension in multiple apps. We should make extension_host optional, and only when it's ambiguous throw an error or possibly make a deterministic default choice (possibly with a warning).

Research direction

Start by locating the xcschemes API and its current extension_host handling, then inspect callers that provide this value. Done means projects with a single possible extension host no longer require extension_host, while ambiguous cases have an explicitly selected error or deterministic default behavior.
