Description

Is there a specific reason why the project validation is performed before running the preGenCommand (https://github.com/yonaskolb/XcodeGen/blob/master/Sources/XcodeGenCLI/Commands/GenerateCommand.swift#L76-L86)?

We would like to dynamically add files to the repository in the preGenCommand, however due to the current sequence, we encounter validation failures because these files are not yet present in the project.

Research direction

Start in Sources/XcodeGenCLI/Commands/GenerateCommand.swift at lines 76-86 and trace the project validation and preGenCommand sequence. Determine the intended ordering for files created by preGenCommand, then verify that those files are available to validation; done means the requested workflow no longer fails because generated files are initially absent.
