iOS Add File to Project

Overview

Adds a Swift source file to an Xcode project by directly editing the project.pbxproj file. This allows command-line development workflows without opening Xcode IDE. The process involves generating UUIDs and updating four sections of the project file.

When to Use

Invoke this skill when the user:

• Asks to "add a file to the Xcode project"
• Wants to "add Swift file to project"
• Says "include this file in the build"
• Needs to add source files without Xcode GUI
• Mentions editing project.pbxproj
