Swift Command-line Tool executableTarget

[markst]

Context 🕵️‍♀️

Has the possibility of creating an executableTarget been considered?
This would allow a command-line-interface in order to read and write project pbx.

What 🌱

We've like to support Renovate upgrading our Xcode project dependencies.
renovatebot/renovate#9735

In order to parse our pbxproj files we need a tool such as XcodeProj to be a distributable binary which could be added a dependency with Node Package Manager.

I'm going to look into this as and try create a simple interface for XodeProj.

I wonder if there has been any existing thoughts surround this?

Stale? It’s only a couple weeks old??

Comment on linked issue also suggested perhaps adding wasm which I suppose would avoid distributed binary

This is terrible. I removed it.

We never considered it. How would you imagine the API being? What kinds of operations would you expect to do through that executable? We are 100% open to explore that idea and bring it to the Package.
