Description
As there is the cache functionality already, it might be a good idea to add a functionality that can be used to check if the project definition has been changed since the project was generated the last time. This could be used to show a warning in Xcode if building a project that needs recreating because the yml was changed.
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by tracing the existing cache functionality and how it records the project definition after generation. Determine how a later comparison could expose whether the yml has changed and how that result could support an Xcode build warning. Done means the change state can be checked reliably after a project was generated.
