Xcode 27.2 brings JSON to Xcode project configuration.
The new project.xcproj replaces the pbxproj build graph — not the whole .xcodeproj bundle. What actually improves, what stays the same, and why Apple filed the docs under Coding Intelligence.

From pbxproj to xcproj - Xcode Project Configuration Gets a JSON Format
Xcode 27.2 replaces the pbxproj build graph with JSON via project.xcproj. What really changes, how to migrate, and what it means for Tuist and XcodeGen.

Wow, this is a huge change, kind of in line what Apple's been doing the past two years. xcodegen and in one way Tuist were the true heroes when it comes to keeping the Xcode project description sane in a multi-dev and agentic setup. JSON-based Xcode project format coming in Xcode 27.2 ❤️

Do you need to fix chaotic Xcode project structures?
Look, ZhgChgLi has created XCFolder, a CLI tool that converts virtual groups to real directories for seamless Tuist/XcodeGen integration 🚀🛠️.

XcodeGen and the quest to modularize the Wealthfront iOS app
Every iOS application starts as a monolith. Xcode’s default project structure places all source files, resources, and build configuration into a single module (or target, for all the iOS devs reading this). For small apps, this works fine. For a 10+ year old financial application with roughly 2...

I taught it how to use xcodebuild, xcodegen etc... and it bootstraped the project entirely. Built it, found error and fixed them. And I have a working bootstrap for a Mastodon client haha.

Xcode is often criticized as inscrutable, but developers can bypass its GUI for app builds. By using CLI tools like xcodebuild, xcodegen, and notarytool, you can automate the entire release pipeline via scripts, allowing LLMs to manage builds and deployments headlessly.

用途が違うっておっしゃってるのが自分はわからないですね・・・・・XcodeGenのゴールがxcodeprojファイル生成なので違うとおっしゃっているのかもしれないですがビルド設定、ライブラリ設定、マルチモジュールに用いられるのでほぼほぼ役割かぶってる気がしてます

Tempted to add versioning into a script like you suggest though. One less potential hiccup!
