Description

I'm looking at different Xcode build tools (along with custom Xcode project templates) to generate a new project. As in, there is no existing code outside of the spec and included files.

Is this possible with XcodeGen? I can't seem to get a Target to build/run when I create a project from scratch (from the YAML file).

Thanks in advance!

Research direction

The issue concerns generating a new project from a YAML file, with a Target that should build and run despite no existing source code. Start by reproducing the generated project from the smallest spec mentioned; done would mean determining whether this workflow is supported and identifying the missing or unsupported requirement.
