Description

Hi:

I have been looking to add a folder as folder reference in the root of my project. I have seen this is possible with source files, but could not find the way to do the same for the root of the project. Like fileGroups, but use folder references instead of groups. Is there a way?

Thanks,
Andres

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests; start by tracing how the existing fileGroups specification is handled when generating the root project. Compare that behavior with the requested folder-reference representation, then verify that a generated Xcode project contains the folder reference at the project root.
