RFC: Deprecating generate-xcodeproj

Problems that Xcode can't resolve at this point are:

  • "Package.swift" cannot be opened in different environment variables simultaneously. (Ref.)

  • Xcode ignores "~/Library/Developer/Xcode/Templates/File Templates" when the package is opened by "SOME_ENV=1 open Package.swift". (Ref.)

Any other problems?


Again, I think 'generate-xcodeproj' should not be deprecated until these problems are resolved.

By the way, does Xcode team know this discussion?
