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 App lifecycle - Contain a minimal ContentView placeholder - 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.yml using the provided inputs
  • Generate YourApp.xcodeproj using 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.xcodeproj is 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
