Description

If I have an application project with targets specified below:

targets:
  MyApp:
    sources: MyApp
    platform: [iOS, macOS]
    deploymentTarget:
      iOS: 17.0
      macOS: 14.0
    type: application
    settings:
      base:
        SWIFT_VERSION : 5.0

How can I add a platform-specific build setting? For example, on the Mac's debug configuration I want to use manual code signing (so that I can build my app in a VM and use provisioning profiles to enable the build and run) but use automatic signing for iOS's debug configuration?

Review the target platform and settings specification in the XcodeGen documentation and the Swift command-line behavior. Confirm whether platform-specific debug signing is supported, then document the supported configuration or clarify the limitation; done means the question has an actionable, tested answer.
