I'm using Xcodegen (yes I've opened an issue on that repo already three weeks ago, no replies) to generate multiplatform projects.

Is there a way for Xcode projects newly generated to set the default device and target? Otherwise "watch" seems to be the default that is being chosen for multiplatform.
