SwiftUI Empty App Init
Overview
Initialize a clean, single-target SwiftUI iOS app in the current directory.
The project is generated using XcodeGen to produce a single .xcodeproj, leaving developers ready to start adding features immediately.
Prerequisites
- •Xcode installed and selected via
xcode-select - •XcodeGen available on
PATH
If any prerequisite is missing:
- •Stop execution
- •Tell the user exactly what is missing
- •Do not attempt alternative scaffolding or auto-installation
Inputs
- •Project name (required)
- •Minimum iOS deployment target
- •Optional bundle identifier (or use default)
Defaults (use without extra confirmation)
- •Bundle identifier default:
com.example.<ProjectName> - •Proceed immediately once required inputs are provided (do not ask extra confirmations)
Core Requirements
The resulting project must:
- •Be generated via XcodeGen (do not hand-author
project.pbxproj) - •Use a single
.xcodeproj(no.xcworkspace) - •Contain exactly one app target
- •Use the SwiftUI
@main Applifecycle - •Contain a minimal
ContentViewplaceholder - •Contain a minimal
Info.plist(avoid unnecessary scene or delegate keys) - •Contain no Swift packages
- •Contain no test targets unless explicitly requested
Generation
- •Create a minimal
project.ymlusing the provided inputs - •Generate
YourApp.xcodeprojusing XcodeGen - •Ensure the output matches all Core Requirements
Expected Structure
- •
project.yml - •
YourApp.xcodeproj - •
YourApp/(app target source files) - •Optional config files only
No additional folders, packages, workspaces, scripts, or assets should be present.
Minimal Verification (fast)
- •Confirm
YourApp.xcodeprojis generated successfully by XcodeGen. - •Confirm the default scheme exists (e.g., via a lightweight scheme listing).
- •Do not boot simulators, build, install, or launch unless explicitly requested.
Notes
- •Keep the project minimal and unopinionated
- •Do not add icons/scripts, packages, workspaces, or architecture scaffolding
- •This skill is for app initialization only, not feature scaffolding
