Description
⚠️ Warning: This project is being impersonated
An untrusted website at xcodegen.com is impersonating this project. The site poses as an official resource and distributes its own download files that do not originate from this repository. Visitors may unknowingly download unverified or potentially malicious software.
What the site does
- Copies the project name, description, and branding to appear legitimate
- Hosts its own download links (not sourced from this repo's releases)
- May distribute tampered binaries or collect user data
