# 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
