[swift-evolution] [swift-build-dev] SwiftPM Xcode Integration

[Dan Appel]

Hi,

What kind of target will be made in the Xcode project? Specifically, will
it be a static library or a framework? In my experience, frameworks play
better with sourcekit and generally require less configuration in Xcode.

The folks behind Zewo made a tool to help us manage our large dependency
graph that generates complete xcode projects with subprojects and targets
(it also does a few other things, but those aren't important). As a side
effect it also supports modulemaps with no extra configuration. It
generates frameworks (not static libraries) for the reasons described
earlier, but I'm sure it would be trivial to change it to work the other
way.

The tool can be found here: https://github.com/zewo/zewo-dev. Unfortunately
it had to be made in ruby because of the xcodeproj gem but I believe it
could still be a useful reference.
