Description

I am using xcodegen in my project and I would like to change the default file header comment for files in my project as per the following article: https://oleb.net/blog/2017/07/xcode-9-text-macros. The process described requires adding a plist file that will be located at .xcworkspace/xcshareddata/IDETemplateMacros.plist. I am not sure how or if this is achievable with the existing xcodegen project spec. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated!

Research direction

Start by examining how the xcodegen project spec handles workspace-level files and whether it can produce .xcworkspace/xcshareddata/IDETemplateMacros.plist. Compare the requested Xcode text-macro location with the generated project structure; done means a supported, documented way to customize file header comments.
