Description

In the last days I took some time to write a fork of xcodeProj.cpp to use a different method than pugi::xml

Reading carefully the actual code I've noticed some things that can be improved.

  • Poco::UUID can be used to generate UUID
  • OTHER_CPLUSPLUSFLAGS - there is something strange there. the template only has one parameter which is -D__MACOSX_CORE__ but if you use in your addon CPPFlags it adds to the template the following parameters: --D__MACOSX_CORE__, -mtune=native, -Wreturn-type, -Werror=return-type. we can remove them here or add to the template.
  • local_addons folder can be removed when not used. OR better yet: created by demand.
  • addons.make should not be rewritten as it is now. - https://github.com/openframeworks/projectGenerator/issues/258
  • PG Doesn't overwrite info.plist if it already exist @2bbb

Done

Research direction

Review the unchecked items in the project generator, including addons.make, local_addons, info.plist, OTHER_CPLUSPLUSFLAGS, and Poco::UUID usage, along with xcodeProject::saveWorkspaceXML and emptyExample.pbxproj. Start by checking the related issue 258 and the existing project-generator templates; done means implementing and testing one clearly scoped improvement without regressing generated projects.
