Hello,
I'm specifically referring to this tool: https://github.com/yonaskolb/XcodeGen
I'm aware of a lot of large companies that use it. We're starting integrate it more into our own workflows. The big wins include never needing to worry about project file conflicts and ensure a 1:1 match between files in the folders vs what's in the project. I'm also aware of a number of shortcomings, too, namely persisting schemes and not supporting new features of newer Xcode versions out of the box. We've had to fork our version, too, to provide proper linking of static libraries to our framework targets.
What I'm asking is if there are some less obvious disadvantageous in such a tool. This tool would nuke whatever identifiers are used and I'm wondering if that has any impact on things like prebuilding, caching, and/or indexing. Are there generally net negative performance concerns to think about that I should be aware of?
Thanks,
Vadim
